I was only aware of the cinema version. Must hunt down the min-series.

I got the info from Wikipedia & DVDcompare.

The IMDB page for this needs to be edited to say that it's a mini-series as that's what it was made as.

You can get the DVD from Amazon for about £28 (7 left from Amazon & one new from a seller which comes to 28p (P+P included) more than Amazon price) https://www.amazon.co.uk/Vincent-The...0&s=dvd&sr=1-2

Dear Network, please fix your site and only then do another sale.

[drush9999]

My two pending payments have now both gone through now, despite them saying they would cancel one of them.

[DavidRoylance]

There seems to be a difference of opinion about who owns the rights here in the UK to Mystery and Suspense.

I believe Disney/Fox have it in the US.

I have seen video clips from it on Studio Canal's Youtube channel. There is a possibility they own it and that Network could have access to it.

If anyone here has a definite answer, please let us know.

Top 2 complete my Network Hammer titles but would also love to see them release these titles as well:


Hammer House of Mystery & Suspense - I think this may be a different rights holder from House of Horror though?

[CrockettandTubbs]

My sale order has just shipped =

The Woman In Black (not sure I've ever seen this: saw the stage play in London years ago)

Seance On A Wet Afternoon (a blind buy)

Hell Drivers (an upgrade from the DVD - can't wait to re-watch in HD)

[Ste7en]

Shipped my first order as well. UFO and Baby Love

Waiting for the complete Monty Python (in crap box) and Hammer House of Lingerie and Suspenders

[Aclea]

Finally received confirmation of the order I placed last Thursday at 7:20pm:

[Modman]

The big box of Monty Python arrived this afternoon, thankfully no dings or dents.

Somewhat of an enforced purchase because the Series 3 and 4 digipaks I believe are OOP. Most cost effective option to buy the big box in the sale and get rid of the Series 1 and 2 digipaks I have.

I've done the same

How has the internal packaging faired?

All good, came in a nice sturdy cardboard box, a tight fit, so no room for extra wrapping beyond the plastic bag it was in.

Cool. It was the slotted box base the sets were housed in that was being damaged when it was first released IIRC.

Out of interest more then expectation I emailed Network on Friday and asked them what if anything would they do to remedy that I couldn't checkout for the last few hours of the Flash sale - items still in my cart the last time I looked.

I got a reply today stating "we are working on a way to remedy this and offer the sale prices for you", they said they would get back to me in a couple of days.

Others might consider doing the same, you never know!?!

[malcy30]

Their website is an absolute joke.

During the extended sale the best time to checkout was between 12am and around 8am. I successfully completed my purchases around 6am. Site was slow but at least didn’t continually crash.

Waiting until daytime there are just too many people using the site during sales for it to work properly.

They just don’t learn their lessons and invest in a decent website as this happens with every sale.

considering all the hassle ordering these, I'm shouldn't be expecting my Woman in Black to ship anytime soon

[dbvsh]

A bit frustrated now to be honest. Got a notification that my single order showing as completed (paid via paypal) has shipped. The 'ghost' orders are no longer ghost and have been charged to my credit card and I've had no response to my email for customer support.

[Tablet]

My order of Space 1999: The Complete Series, and Robin of Sherwood: The Complete Series has just arrived.

I agree with the tone here that Network really dropped the ball on the sale... 40% is a pretty substantial discount, especially for some titles that don't seem to drop in price very often.

My ghost order is at paid status, but not shifted yet. Got refunded for my extra ghost payments thankfully. All a bit spooky.

[Aclea]

That's what happens when you hire the woman in black to run your website.

and on that note, just got my shipping confirmation!

[benkell]

Amazed to receive my sale order this morning, it is an absolute nightmare ordering anything on their site during a sale, but they certainly didn't hang about dispatching my order and it was sent First Class.
