While I fell asleep while trying to watch 'Mamma Mia!' this Christmas (and, I should add, I'm quite a fan of the Abba catalogue), I'm seemingly in the minority regarding my lack of enthusiasm for the film version of the Abba musical.
'Mamma Mia!' has become the biggest selling UK DVD of all time with 5 million units having been sold since its relatively recent release in November. This means one in four UK households owns a copy.
It was far and away the biggest selling DVD of 2008 (next biggest seller 'The Dark Knight' sold 1.5 million units), and has already outsold the previous best selling DVD in Britain, the first 'Pirates Of The Caribbean' movie.
Official Chart Company MD Martin Talbot confirmed 'Mamma Mia's bestseller status, and told CMU: "Right from its release, Mamma Mia! has been a record breaker. This latest landmark further underlines the popularity of the movie, which is now officially the British public's favourite DVD of all time".
