Worthy of a dvd release surely !

Ah yes, there were indeed three series, not two, as stated in my earlier post - was struggling on the memory front on that one, but like I said, it has been a while since I saw these ! Appreciate the update.
I have recently obtained the official vhs release of the first series, but alas, they never released the other two. If Channel 4 have indeed 'lost' these episodes then this is tragic news indeed ! I know for a fact that there are many people who want to see this in dvd glory, but if Ch4 no longer have the masters, then the probability of this happening looks bleaker than ever ! Best we could hope for is digitally remastered tapes to dvd, but quality obviously suffers, plus it would be nice to have interviews with Simon, Brenda and the main people behind the camera re their recollections of the show.
I suppose there is always hope that it may happen, you never know. 'Chance in a Million' deserves better, but please pass my thanks on to your dad for creating one of the funniest shows I've ever seen - I just wish I could see it all again !

Thanks for reading.

I have fond memories of watching this wonderful series on the Australian ABC. It was then, and remains, one of the best comedy series I have ever seen.
What are the chances of release of the other 2 series, or any kind of DVD release?
Some things do happen if you wait long enough-we have just had The Knack released here after many years of waiting.
What does Andrew Norriss think of a release?
It is so far superior in acting and script to any other sit-com I can think of-and for that, we thank him.

This is a very cheeky request but would there be any chance that you could copy the videos onto DVD or another tape. I am willing to pay for them. They were hilarious and my parents - in their late 80's now - have two episodes on tape and would love the rest. Absolutely hilarious - one of the best!!

Thanks to your dad.

I pre-ordered “Chance in a Million: the Complete Series” from senditcom (http://www.sendit.com/dvd/chance-in-a-million-the-complete-series/1022 3165.html)—the package of all three series was released on October 4—and I received it on Tuesday (19 Oct) here in Hobart, Tasmania.
I immediately watched all the episodes, and enjoyed the marathon immensely. After all the years waiting to see the shows again, having seen most of them on the ABC when they were first shown and repeated back in the late eighties, I’ve been longing to see favourite episodes such as “The Stuff of Dreams” (1. 6) and “The Taxman Cometh” (2.1).
Yesterday, my sons (13 and 10) watched all eighteen episodes in one go—I’ve been telling them for years that it was a classic sitcom—and they too enjoyed the marathon immensely, and were astonished when I observed afterwards that they had been watching the show for over six hours. I watched with them as well, apart from breaks making lunch and dinner, and found that I could watch episodes again with great enjoyment.
What I had not remembered from watching episodes on TV one week apart (and not always in sequence), but which is obvious from watching episodes sequentially, is how well the chronology of the romance is explained and presented: many episodes are set the morning after the previous show’s ending or a day or two later, and this, usually, is either immediately obvious or explained with a few words of dialogue.
The extra features, sadly, don’t amount to much: a PDF of the script of “The Wedding”; a few commentaries from Andrew Norriss and Richard Fegen (the writers) and Simon Callow—di eos ament—; and some photographs. The picture quality, however, was better than I’d expected. Still, what makes “Chance in a Million” such a great show is the fine scripts and the great acting.
So, despite the mono sound and the 4:3 ratio and the ’eighties video quality, “Chance in a Million: the Complete Series”, for me, is five stars. One son says he rates the show “ten out of ten”, and the other says “nine or ten out of ten”.
