Something I would love to see released would be BBC Scotland's, 1982, 3 part series, Badger By Owl Light.

There's many series, but wouldn't mind seeing a solid release of Granada TV's horror anthology series called Shades of Darkness. Network tried hard to acquire the series, but something was holding the series back. Another one off play I would love to see via the BBC would be Dennis Potter's The Beast with Two Backs. Highly controversial on it's original transmission, but an essential watch.

Another one would be After Pilkington with the late Bob Peck and Miranda Richardson. It did get a BBC Video release in the early 1990s, but since then, it's vanished. Finally, another controversial drama/docu called Death of a Princess made by ATV. There's many more, but that's just a taste.

Good, missed that one initially. Spirit is the company that bought Network’s assets?

No, just the Gerry Anderson stuff by the looks of it.

Have high hopes for spirit releasing more ITC blu ray titles.

If Spirit rescue UFO I'll be over the moon, pun intended.

Would be nice but I would doubt it. That would strike me as a major undertaking of producing the set with the book. As I said, it would be nice.

Will be interesting to see how they handle Captain Scarlet. Will they just release the episodes on disc like Network did or do what I really would like which is include the extras from the DVDs as well?

They are just using the Network discs.

If you want the extras wait until Via Vision / Imprint release it in Australia. They are starting to release the Network BDs but in better versions with all the legacy extras.

I wonder if Network's proposed set of remastered for Blu upgrades of select episodes of THE BARON will ever turn up from a different label somewhere?

This would be very nice to see.

[Cherry Valance]

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but is there a list anywhere of Network's DVD only releases?

I remember it being mentioned here that they deleted their Wikipedia pages - is there a chance someone has a back up?

Any help would be much appreciated.

[darrellmaclaine]

They released thousands of titles in multiple configurations over about 25 years, and about 95% of those were DVD. You'd be looking at an almost unnavigable list!

[the13thman]

Is the Space 1999 complete series re-release also in packaging that stacks the discs on top of each other? That's a real dealbreaker for me.

Try the Network DVD Fan group on Facebook you might get lucky.

[Cherry Valance]

Thanks for the replies! No big deal, I figured it would be a lost cause.

I didn't realise they were so prolific - I have a few DVD's of obscure-ish movies kicking around and I got curious about what else they might've released.

I saw somewhere, I think on Twitter, that there was a link to internet archive that had a version of the site up to a certain point about 2-3 month before they went tits up & I can't find the link. Doubt it will have everything they released on it though.
