The Official Network Thread

The Last Seduction doesn't fall under their British Film category which is probably why it's not announced. I suppose technically it's anglo-american but then so is Raise The Titanic.

Yep, confirms the Amazon listing wasn't an error. Yeah I reckon it's gonna come out later in 2015 they've just pushed it back (like Dream Home, which is apparently coming out 20th April now). So yeah Dream Home is more of a horror/thriller which is good news!

Network's website also shows a Monday 19th January release date (at the moment) for the two Hitchcock Blu-ray titles The Lady Vanishes and The Man Who Knew Too Much. And there's no sign of the Blu-ray of The Last Seduction in the Network announcement Blu-ray.com news article.

My inkling is that it's gonna be delayed even further, into Q2 of 2015. Unless they announce it separately or something, or adjust their press release. I wouldn't go by the Network site yet - if their press release and Amazon both say The Nightcomers will be on blu-ray it will be! I don't see why it wouldn't be - as I said before it would appeal to fans of Michael Winner, Marlon Brando, and Jack Clayton's The Innocents so it should see a blu-ray release as well as a DVD one.

As for the 19th release dates the new press release seems to be saying those two Hitchcocks are coming a week early, probably so that they're releasing 1 or 2 British Films every week over the three months rather than none one week and 3 the next. Which is good news because we can see what the transfers are like before we buy them (though Bad Timing and The Thief of Bagdad I'll likely blind-buy even if we don't get advance reviews).

As Blob says, The Last Seduction isn't part of Network's British Film line so that's why it's not in the announcement. Don't worry it's still coming out! I noticed there's a screening (or was) of it recently at Watershed in Bristol which I was going to go to but can't make it now, so I'll be waiting for the blu-ray too!

[OceanBlue]

Another Blu-ray title Network are releasing early next year, which, like The Last Seduction appears not to be part of Network's The British Film line, is The Legend of the Lone Ranger (release date of Monday 9th February).

Of the Network Blu-ray titles being released between January and March next year, am most looking forward to the titles Hot Enough for June, The Lady Vanishes, A Man About the House, The Man Who Knew Too Much, Raise the Titanic, The Tamarind Seed, Tower of Terror, Warn That Man and Young and Innocent.

Regarding The Professionals Mk III Blu-ray set, Amazon UK have a release date of Monday 30th March next year.

I would have been excited for the release of 'Hot Enough for June', which looks pretty good on DVD already, but this time I won't rush to order until I've checked out the transfer. I wasn't happy with 'Quiller' after making it a day 1 purchase, and it has me once bitten twice shy. Hopefully that was a one off experience though as the other Network releases have been very good.

Space:1999 - Countdown to Series 2
The countdown is under way! After months of speculation, one of our most hotly-anticipated releases is set for lift-off in 2015 - Space: 1999 - The Complete Second Series.

Stunningly restored in a brand-new high definition transfer from original film elements, this iconic series is set to look better than ever, and will be released in a complete series set on Blu-ray and DVD in autumn 2015.
Space: 1999: The Bringers of Wonder
We know you can't wait that long... and neither can we. So, as a foretaste of what's in store, we're releasing two episodes ahead of schedule: providing fans with their first glimpse of the incredible restoration work that has been done on the series.
THE BRINGERS OF WONDER was the only two-part episode in the entire run of Space:1999 and very soon, you'll be able to see it as never before on blu-ray, in restored HD quality, along with a new HD transfer of the feature film version 'Destination: Moonbase-Alpha.'
But you'll have to act fast – just as the wandering moon never stays in one place for long, so too with this limited edition release. Just 1999 copies are being produced, in a digipack format that will be deleted from our catalogue as soon as it sells out. Get it now... before it goes out of orbit!
What's more, every 'pre-buy' order we take, ahead of the release date of December 8th, will automatically be entered into a draw to win one of five copies of the complete series 2. Three order numbers will be drawn at random, so keep alert for our special 'countdown to series 2' display at networkonair.com, where the Moonbase-Alpha computer will display the winning numbers soon after the release on December 8th.
Space: 1999: The Bringers of Wonder
If you want to take advantage of this very special glimpse into the future, you need to act now…
Space: 1999: The Bringers of Wonder Special Edition is available to pre-buy NOW for £13 exclusively from networkonair.com

ive already bought my copy of THE BRINGERS OF WONDER
roll on next year for the whole series

[OceanBlue]

First disc I tested out in the Supermarionation Blu-ray set (the two disc set containing the documentary and the selected episodes of various series) was the disc with an episode each of Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet etc. on it. I'm hoping Network are able to release a complete series set of Four Feather Falls and Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons.

[Sky_Captain]

I would lose my shit over a Captain Scarlet set.

Thank god it goes on for a while! Every time they have a good deal on Thriller and Armchair Thriller I'm skint. £19.50 is a great price for Thriller but I've already spent out for now.

[OceanBlue]

Were the ITC series Espionage, Ghost Squad and Interpol Calling originally shot on film? They're in the Network sale at the moment, and I'm just wondering if there's a possibility of a Blu-ray release by Network somewhere down the line if film elements exist for these three TV titles.

On a separate note, I'm hoping Network release all three series of Dempsey & Makepeace on Blu-ray, and if possible the uncut or near to uncut versions of the episodes (and not the 'afternoon edit' versions).

[grahams76]

Love the Network sales. Yesterday, I bought the second series of The Professionals on blu-ray for £17 and change.

Super pumped at buying 7-49UP for £11.28. I had no idea these were even released!

I generally like films were you see people grow up from child to adult like The Apu Trilogy and Boyhood. They are easily relatable, personal epics, that really put life into perspective.

I really hope one of these distributors start releasing the documentaries of Frederick Wiseman. I went to TIFF in the summer and saw the Canadian Premiere of National Gallery. I even asked him a question afterwards in the Q+A. He definitely deserves a huge box-set (he's made 42 unreleased films!).

I'm no expert on Fred Wiseman by any means, nor particularly wise about more than the one dvd(-r)s of his I bought in 2008, but (presumably) most of the 42 films you mention are available for purchase from Zipporah Films (likely most/all are dvd-r, but just a guess, perhaps that's changed in the meantime). I would suspect that's about the only option you will likely ever have to own them.

Current Holiday Season Specials promo codes, good thru January 6, 2015: 10% off 3 DVDs, code is "BOX3"; 15% off 4 DVDs, "BOX4"; 20% off 5 DVDs, "BOX5". There are 38 films to choose from.

Thanks! £60 for 3 films is a bit expensive, but if I get lots of money over Christmas, count me in

[unicron73]

my copy of SPACE 1999-BRINGERS OF WONDER was waiting for me when i got home from work.
it sounds and looks as good as season 1 so roll on season 2 next year
i watched the opening few minutes of the DESTINATION MOONBASE-ALPHA film version thats included on the blu ray-its really corny and cheesy-i love it..

another great release from network

[oddbox83]

HD21 (individual release of 2 discs from the big Supermarionation box) popped up without any fanfare for order yesterday and shipped this morning. It's vanished from the website. Did it go up early in error, I wonder? So it looks like I'm getting a copy early.

Just out of interest, how much was it?
