You voted, I counted, we talked: have a listen to this week’s UK DVD Review<\/a> show, a half-hour special podcast counting down your top ten DVDs of 2007.<\/p>\n

I promised on that edition that in exchange for my not taking ten of the thirty minutes to read out the prices, I’d do it here. So, ta-daa: here’s your countdown – and I’ve done it as a series of links to Amazon so you can just zoom through.<\/p>\n

The whole point of the countdown was not to have a countdown; as fun as it was to see what made number 1, the whole list, the whole ten were ones you picked because you loved them so much, you couldn’t stop talking about them. And shortly I’ll be putting up some of your best emails about why you picked what you did; they’ll be guest blogs over the next few days.<\/p>\n

Last, I’ve also appended my own top ten from the week before’s UK DVD Review<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Thanks for voting. The show will return on 6 January 2008. See you then.<\/p>\n
