Close My Eyes remains only on DVD, as does Century, but that is also in the wrong ratio. Food of Love only appears to be available via streaming.

It's with his TV series that he really excels, in my opinion. It would be great to see things like Shooting the Past and Perfect Strangers in HD. I have blus of The Lost Prince, Dancing on the Edge and Close to the Enemy (the latter two also only available in US editions) and that's your lot. The DVD I have (the only one?) of The Tribe is one of the most appalling quality discs that I own. Non-amorphic and a highly dodgy transfer.

Hi. Would you say that The Lost Prince is worth the upgrade? I’ve not been able to find any sort of comparison or review of it online.
