Doesn't appear readily available?

[Arkadin]

it looks like it's mainly being sold by the creator's company.
2nd seller down.
It does make me wonder if amazon proper will carry this soon.
Hopefully they will.

Always loved it's appearance in Life On Mars: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHP3J...ature=youtu.be

Can I embed You Tube videos here? How?

This isn't a show I ever expected to get a Blu-ray release. I think I'll purchase it, just for the hell of it.

I don't really know anything about this series--being an American--but hopefully lots of people will find out about this release and support it.
I found some threads about this series on YT and posted in a few of them that this first series had been released.
restorations like these need to be appreciated and supported so that more will be done in the future.

There is a feature on the digital restoration of this on BBC Breakfast tomorrow morning. Dont have any more details about timings I am afraid.

I bet Mrs Honeyman looks a bit of a babe in HD.

I can't find the camberwick green blu-ray on this site to add it to my collection

[Arkadin]

yeah that's a rare set that I think is pretty much unknown on here.
I noticed it long ago on amazon.uk, but it looked like it was only being sold by the distributor.
Someone needs to add it into the database.
