The ABC appears to have NO marketing material (as in "at all") for Wildside. Does anyone know of any way to obtain copies of Wildside eps, other than recording them off-air oneself? (It's just started to repeat, on the ABC at 11:05pm each Monday! But DAMMIT I missed the very first ep!)
shareYes! 1.1-3 is now available as a DVD set from the ABC Shops and Centres. RRP 40.95, 2 disc set, R4. (Search shop.abc.net.au)
shareThanks for that Keith, I'll definitely be getting it! HOW many years has it taken them...!
shareI think it is because despite this series being excellent, it also happened to be quite controversial in terms of funding models (Aunty funded it straight up instead of 50-50 which is the usual practice), and the ABC ended up losing a fair bit of money on the series. The DVD has been released with minimal advertising support (I only stumbled on it in the ABC shop, no ads on ABC1 at least)
shareDoes anyone know whether there are plans for a box set? $40.95 for three episodes seems a bit steep!
shareYeah I want to buy the complete series, not just three episodes... there were 40 in series 1! I agree it is too expensive for just 1-3.

Yeah....but the boy I'm besotted with (Marty Denniss) shows up in Episode 37 and I can still only find episodes 1-3 for sale in cyber space 3 years after this thread first started....*sighs*....so they really need to get a move on with releasing more, although someone (I can't remember if it's ABC off the top of my head) does finally seem to have pulled their finger out in this regard for the series Water Rats.
EK, EK, all day, every day!share
No, it's not ABC for Water Rats, it's Nine.
BTW, Do you have an Aaron Pedersen fixation (as well as a Martin Dennis one)??
Wouldn't blame you if you did ;)
Mass genocide is the most exhausting activity one can engage in. Next to soccer.
Thanks for the info about the TV Channel.....*goes off to poke ABC with a sharp pointed stick*
Um....no, I've never even heard of Aaron Pederson so I just googled for a piccie of him and you'll be happy to hear I'm gonna let you keep him.
EK, EK, all day, every day!share
This is not a good sign - I just checked the ABC Shop online and it's not even coming up in their search results any more. Possibly indicates that it didn't sell well and was deleted? In which case, no chance at all for any more eps to be released on DVD
shareThis is so annoying. I loved this programme when I stayed in Sydney for a few months (i'm english). It's by far the best cop/crime show i have ever watched, and one of the most honest.
GAAAAGH! It's so annoying that they think 3 episodes is enough to sate my appetite.
As someone already said, the show is 60 episodes, so how is 3 going to be good value?
I'd download it but because it's so niche it's not available on torrents...
HELP!
Actually it's just started as repeats again on ABC here in Aus - real early Friday mornings (like half past midnight on Thursday) - so if you know anyone over here you might be able to twist their arm to record it for ya...
shareI missed the show on Xmas night, if anyone taped it, I would love a copy of that ep.
