Ironically, I am as I type - and as you typed - updating our database and putting the finishing touches to a long overdue DVD newsletter. There's a couple there I had managed to miss though - woops!

Anyway, check your inboxes soon people, and thanks to Martin. :)

Ah cool, yeah to be honest I found this on another site but thought the information would be valuable here too. ;)

Have to admit though, I'm pretty pissed off. Just as I thought I'd pretty much finished, more have been announced, and more dates changed. >_<

(And by more, I mean literally hundreds. Not all comedy obviously, but still. Hundreds. >_<;)

Relieved the BBC are releasing the Dads Army specials, now I will have all the surviving episodes on DVD. I'm quite happy Desmonds is getting released. I have the first series on DVD (a copy), but hopefully that release will lead to the second series getting released and so on. It aint Half Hot Mum series 6 the release date has been put back several occasions and has been coming soon for about a year, but I hope it comes out. The Oh Doctor Beeching collection also looks good. Some good stuff out then

It's all coming, slowly but surely...

Happy Families?

No sign yet.

I think Spoons is released next week. Wasn't always brilliant but I thought much of the cast was.

Bah!

Have a look on our meticulously compiled (if I do say so myself, ahem) 'Shop' section. I forget the exact differences, but essentially it's just a reissue to cash in on recent more4 (?) repeats and the lucrative Christmas market.

I've looked that Father Ted Boxset up and there are one or two addional extras on there, but it's mostly what you said - a cash in.

Does anyone know what 'The Ultimate Fast Show Collection' entails? I can't find any infor anywhere apart from the phrase 'a collection of their best sketches'.

At 7 discs, though, surely it has to contain all 3 series and perhaps some of the stage shows?

Yeah, that's my guess. Afraid I've seen no more information than you though!
