What has turned up on the Tesco Direct DVD pre-order page?

Yes, The Smurfs – A Christmas Carol!

The Clubcard points will be credited immediately, so you don’t have to wait for the DVD to be released.

The link to order is here.  The 150 bonus points will show on the order.

Be very wary of having your order cancelled if you order more than a couple ….
