Will this ever get a DVD release?


Will this ever get a DVD release? It was quite simply the best thing ever. Since writer Russell T Davies has since gone on to fame, great quality and Doctor Who, surely there must be a market for things like this. I know it's incredibly fondly remembered by many.

I hope it does. I'd buy the dvd if it came out.

You see? I'm a steelworker. I kill what I eat. See?

errrghh!!! i hate how camp russel t. davis made doctor who, it annoyed me... he ruined the series, bring back sylvester mccoy and ace before he does anymore damage!! he's made doctor who too gay to function!!!

however, this was one of his few things he's written that worked really well, and was really good! i hope it does get a dvd release!

I would thoroughly disagree with your statement on Doctor Who - he has improved it no end!

However, on the DVD issue, I couldn't agree more - this programme diserves DVD release. I'd most certainly buy it!

A Dark Season DVD would be great. I just wasted 2 minutes and emailed the BBC telling them so. They did release a Maid Marian DVD so it is possible.

I'd absoultely love to own this on DVD. I remember watching it when I was a kid and it was really good. They should release it in a double pack with Century Falls, Russell's other BBC kids show that I remember being piss scary. Now that the BBC has it's new deal with 2Entertain and are churning out their back catalouge on DVD we can but hope that they get around to these two gems.

Oh and I think Russell has done a fantastic job on Dr Who, everything I could have hoped for and more.


Dear Buddha, please send me a pony and a plastic rocket.

If you check ebay there are unofficial versions (Century Falls too) and I have enjoyed some nights of nostalgia (and mild fear!) rewatching them. Not an official release but better than nothing. No one in my office has heard of this or Century Falls - both classic scary kid's TV.

Hmmm... perhaps not "wasted", as it seems to be getting a DVD release on July 17th.

You think you're doing something good by posting links like that?
Didn't anybody tell you that sites like these DON'T want this kind of publicity?
