Fawlty Towers: The Complete Collection - 18 November 2019

[McCrutchy]

BBC will release the complete series of Fawlty Towers (1975-1979) on 18 November 2019.

[McCrutchy]

Obviously, this will be mostly, if not entirely upscaled, but I'm still going to get it as I figure it will look and sound better than the DVDs.

[CouncilSpectre]

I’ll get it too

Seems we should pretty much expect all the BBC classics to hit blu - seems to be a clear strategy at work.

Interiors shot on tape and exteriors shot on 16mm?

I’ll wait for a sale as it’s not “limited” (depending on how much it costs at release of course), still nice to see this happening so I’ll definitely get this eventually, seems like the Red Dwarf set has started the ball rolling

The python set is my priority though

Is Blackadder possible too?

[ChrisDilke]

Great announcement! Hopefully a Blackadder Blu-ray isn't too far away either.

[CouncilSpectre]

Blackadder and Blake’s 7 next please Auntie.....

Fawlty Towers on blu-ray?

[Show spoiler]

Great news.

Now Mr BBC, where the hell is my uncut Only Fools and Horses blu-ray set ?

Oh heck yeah, been holding off picking up OF&H on DVD, even at charity shop/Cash Generator prices, for that very reason.

[CouncilSpectre]

Dads Army & Steptoe please...

With the Beeb suddenly committing to bluing up their catalogue this is quite exciting!

[Dickieduvet]

Fingers crossed for a complete Eastenders boxset.

[MifuneFan]

Nice. Hopefully it carries over all of the commentaries, and other extras.

As RD is going currently going for £30, this set (quarter the running time and fewer extras) should be less than a tenner!
I have the dvds but will keep an eye on reviews.

But does the film footage still exist? That is the question.

Also, will the Major's non-PC about West Indian and Indian cricketers be included? Hopefully...
