There also seems to be this third disc of the show coming out on the same day.

I used to watch this show, but also have no idea how it would hold up for me as an adult. I'm a little concerned that they want ~20 euros each for three BDs when they only contain 35-40 minutes of material each. Surely the episodes could have been combined and released as a single BD-50?

Also, this was a France-Canada co-production, and apparently some French DVD editions contained English audio and subtitling.

Another question: Would this show benefit from HD? Was it transferred to film prior to original broadcast or have the French done a re-scan of the original cells?

Good question because I think the postproduction of this show was done on video. So it is impossible to make a new HD transfer from a SD source. I will update this thread when I have some informations about the PQ and the possible inclusion of an english track.

no info yet on a possible english tracks but there are 3 stories per disc

Yes, and the artwork mirrors the 2009 DVD sets that apparently retained the English audio track, so this does give us hope...

I did e-mail Fox just now and ask, but I'm not holding my breath for a response.

EDIT: Amazon.fr purchase links

Was this show originally in French? I'd prefer English subtitles if so as it is more authenic IMO

How long are each of the Stories? I am considering picking them up for my Mum for her birthday (providing English subs/dubs).

Yes it is a french production, and every story runs around 20 minutes.
