My memory says I really enjoyed this the last time I watched it, but that must have been 25 years ago at least. Look forward to watching it again.

For a moment I thought this starred Jack Hawkins as the juvenile lead, only to realise I was thinking of Murder at Broadcasting House.

Not sure if these are the Network masters but a lot of ‘their’ shows coming to Britbox next month.

The kickstarter Thunderbirds anniversary episodes are also going to be available alongside the rest of the original episodes as well.

Note it’s rental for 28 days of each item you buy. There’s no subscription option and you don’t own indefinitely.

They said they are rental as they can’t guarantee how long they will be available. ABC library is owned by Studio Canal who licence to Network currently, but may want back in time.

As we saw above ITV are putting their own Anderson and ITC shows on Britbox so those aren’t available to Network.

Apologies if this has been mentioned before but it looks like the Network BD release of Jack The Ripper(1988) has gone OOP (Disappeared from their website and only one copy on Amazon at £40)

The Woman In Black technical review (dvdcompare.net - no booklet available for review):

http://www.dvdcompare.net/review.php?rid=6313

[Show spoiler]"I watched the proper, full frame version which was how this shot and intended to be seen.

The newly created widescreen version simply mattes off the top and bottom of the frame and has been judiciously reframed shot-by-shot throughout.

Stick to the proper 1.37:1 version; the widescreen is purely an extra to please the luddites who simply must fill their TV screen."

It can be hard to tell: Hell Drivers and Silver Dream Racer both disappeared from their website for a few months, leading to speculation they were out of print, but are both available again.

any news on the secret agent/danger man HD release?

It's worth checking with Network before paying top dollar elsewhere. When Base cancelled my order for ROBBERY, I feared I'd left it too late. However, Network confirmed that it will be restocked.

I didn't realise Hell Drivers was back on their website, i know they have had a fair few releases go OOP but as you say hard to tell with this label.

I did manage to nab a copy last week for just under £12, but thanks for the heads-up, had been meaning to pick it up for ages and never got round to it.

No.

From comments made it would appear Stingray and The New Avengers are closer to release.

Jamie Anderson said as I think posted earlier in this thread that Stingray is in next 8 months which was made in comments about a month back. So we may see in time for Christmas or if not early next year.

Whether it’s released in volume form like Scarlet, J90 etc, or it’s a singular boxset release, I hope it’s as nicely presented as Scarlet and J90 were.

Network have started their own streaming service.

I would love that. Though I need to get the Studiocanal Blus of The Avengers or least the Emma Peel seasons. Maybe during the holidays. There's just so many BluRays for me to buy at the moment.
