Regan is NOT a film. It is part of the Armchair Cinema series.

Yes, I was thinking of Fox earlier. I bought and watched the DVD set in lockdown and the picture quality is atrocious. I'd love an upgrade.

Not that I think the chances are high but I would like a blu-ray release of the woefully neglected The Knowledge (1979). Yes, I know its David Wickes TV/LWT/HBO and not Euston but I would take even a new dvd release of Philip Marlowe, Private Eye starring Powers Boothe.

I've not got round to watching my copy of Fox. Is the series any good?

Ooh, I have to have that. Normally, I'd be buying Blu-rays with it, but I accidentally discovered that Network's February TV BOGOF discount still works, so I got DVDs instead. It took ages to find a combination that wasn't one disc over the £7.85 shipping threshold to the dreaded £30 flat rate charge, but I managed, just.

Yeah, it's pretty solid. It's definitely worth watching even if the picture quality is poor. With a cast including Peter Vaughn, Ray Winstone and Derrick O'Connor the acting is of a high calibre.

Thanks. Still have a ton of Network TV stuff to get round to actually watching.

Definitely unexpected. I think it's a safe bet it was a screening on Talking Pictures TV I'd read about a few months ago. Didn't watch it, but of what I read about Out, I hoped it would get a Blu-ray upgrade (I knew before the TPTV airing, that Network had released it on DVD).

Hoping it's not too long before Network's Blu-ray releases of the various Danziger Brothers volumes (and The Cheaters: The Complete Series) appear in a Network sale, I'm thinking about getting this Blu-ray upgrade of Out sooner rather than later. Just my opinion, but for what you're getting (apparently new restorations/masters and plenty of interview extras), it seems to me a fair price. Noticed the "Network Restoration" logo on the front cover artwork of the Blu-ray upgrade of Out (off the top of my head, I can't remember seeing that before on another Network release).

Danger UXB would be nice if they're going down the Euston route.

Definitely one I would rebuy. Watch the DVDs every few years.

Presume like most Euston Films shows of that era it was 16mm ? so assuming the negatives still in archive would definitely be an upgrade.

War themed stuff always seems to be popular so think it would be a good choice.

The BDs I have that I've seen it on are Cottage to Let, Father Came Too, The Fast Lady, The Iron Maiden, Gideon's Way (series), The Woman in Black, Futtocks End, Kidnapped, Maroc 7
etc

I think it means Network have restored something themselves?

I knew after I posted/asked about that "Network Restoration" logo last night, that my mind had gone blank/I had a senior moment, that it had appeared on the front cover artwork of other Network titles.

I noticed on Network's website earlier that they've got a Blu-ray titles offer on at the moment, "35% off 100 TV & film Blu-rays. Promo ends 4 pm BST, Tuesday 11th April". The limited edition Gideon's Way boxset is one of the titles in this offer.

Thanks for posting the link to the current Network website offer. My OCD flares up at times, hence why I didn't include it in my previous post.

The World at War for £26 is a beauty and £5.20 for The Ipcress File for anyone who hasn't got it yet.

drush9999 · 03-31-2023, 11:03 AM

The Persuaders is £24.05

Will get a few when my credit card statement date rolls over in a couple of days

T4ffer · 03-31-2023, 11:33 AM

Ordered a bunch of stuff I never knew I wanted! Including The World at War. I missed The Ipcress File, will probably also add that with another order in a few days.

Can't recommend The World at War enough.

The only items on that list that aren't tempting me are the ones I bought in the same sale last year, which I still haven't got round to watching most of...

Thankfully, there's plenty of time to order these by which time credit cards will roll over... :lol:
