You might like Seance on a Wet Afternoon if you don't already.

Funny what you said about Death at Broadcasting House. I get drawn to any whodunnit, Agatha Christie and Sherlock Holmes films, I enjoy them but also rarely rate them above 3/5 or recommend them. So I understand that "enjoyable enough" is flawed but will satisfy my itch for this genre. lol

Out of curiosity, what does A Town Like Alice omit from the book? Details, emotions, censored for ratings?

Added Seance on a Wet Afternoon to the list, seems really interesting. Even from a historic standpoint, being the last film from Allied Film Makers. Thanks for pointing it out!

The trailer ticked all the silly boxes of the 60s lol, add to that Panavision and location shooting... couldn't resist!

I like FOLLOW ME. It's a nice little film, and Network's presentation is excellent.

lesco · 02-15-2023, 06:57 AM

I'd recommend The Belstone Fox not just for its widescreen photography and well choreographed animals, but just because it's such an odd duck (or fox). I have no idea what its target audience is. It starts off as a children's film and ends up like Moby Dick.

Just got my copies of the 3 Sweeney movies today. So weird seeing the advert inside Regan for the complete Seasons 1-4 "Coming Soon to Blu Ray." I know it's 4 years later, but I'm still hopeful!

It’s over a decade since the Regan Blu-Ray, but Network have dropped a few hints recently that the rest of The Sweeney will be coming out.

Hammerlover · 03-02-2023, 08:54 PM

Still waiting for Network to favour us with something from their new Hammer deal, which isn't so "new" anymore.

Hopefully we’ll get a flurry when they finally arrive. It does seem like a long time since the announcement.

I’m hoping for Quatermass, X-The Unknown, Abominable Snowman, and Dick Barton.

Network's film releases have dried up considerably over the past 6 months. This year's releases to date consist almost entirely of TV DVD releases, and most of them re-issues. No doubt it'll take them some time to get back on their feet after the tragic passing of Tim Beddows.

Django100 · 03-04-2023, 12:07 AM

Yeah I have very little interest in the TV stuff. They have so many films I want that they are sitting on. Oh well at least there are plenty coming from other labels...

CavebobSpongeman · 03-04-2023, 02:39 PM

They've got some pretty good weekend deals on the go. Mostly dvd but they do have some decent bluray sets as well, thinking I might pick up the Monty Python sets.

There've been a couple more Sweeney mentions on Network's Instagram feed this week. Please happen.

I’d be amazed if it didn’t. Box set/s by the end of the year is my prediction.

Hello all,

I know these are not blu rays, but this seemed like the logical place to add this post.

There are many memorable soundtrack CDs included this weekend in part 2 of the current sale. See the link below.

https://networkonair.com/296-march-weekend-deals-2

I'm interested in at least 3 of these collections, especially the remastered Randall and Hopkirk and Man In A Suitcase soundtracks.

I'm not sure whether there are any content differences between the original CDs and the remastered ones, but they look to both include the liner notes.

Anything tempting you?

Even though I've wanted to get some Network titles in the past few months, I've had to put it off for a while. Have got Network's Blu-ray boxset of Gideon's Way: Limited Edition, which I think included the soundtrack CD. The Sentimental Agent soundtrack CD has been on my list of Network soundtrack CD releases I hope to get eventually, along with (possibly) Space Precinct (I was going to get Network's DVD release of Space Precinct, but have held off from getting it).

Thanks for posting about this Network soundtrack CDs sale Cutback.

Another sale this weekend with 30% of some British Films titles, including Insignificance

I was going to buy the DVD only yesterday but got sidetracked by work and didn't get around to it.

Will definitely be picking up the Blu-Ray.

Totally agree. A very nice surprise.

BarnDoor · 03-29-2023, 07:59 PM

With Network tackling more Euston Films productions (hopefully The Sweeney isn't far off), might we see upgrades of Fox and Reilly, Ace of Spies? I guess Out doing well might help Fox's cause.
