I expected The Champions before either Randall or Dept S although I'm glad Randall came first. I had hoped The Champions would have been announced already but I'm guessing we will have to wait until the beginning of next year for more ITC.
Apparently another monthly offering is on the way with Space Patrol but I don't know how accurate that story is. The first SP Bluray apparently included the 2 remaining episodes on 35mm so unless they've found the rest I suspect the story might be false
All episodes exist but apart from 2 on 35mm the rest are 16mm which is where the previous dvd's were sourced from. Can't say I would buy Space Patrol on Bluray and definitely not on a volume by volume basis
There was already a 2 episode Bluray of Space Patrol. It was the only 2 on 35mm - I mentioned it earlier.
But there seems to be hints of a more substantial release although it might hopefully be something else like Captain Scarlet. The image they've used looks like it comes from Space Patrol but it might not be that actual series
There very little I remeber from the series apart from the main puppets, the robots, galasphere and the gabaladictum bird, and then trying to teach it to speak and it repeating something wrong like gruf,asnuffel, oh and Husky the martian always wanting to have sausages. Plus hover bikes like in Fireball XL5
But I did for some reason found it creepy, Glad I'm was not alone on that view.
Quote: (the only two episodes to have survived in their original 35 mm format) are downright creepy, resembling nothing so much as a futuristic puppet version of "Eraserhead"
The only reason Network usually don't include subtitles is because it costs too much to create them.Managed to snag this wonderful series on BD from Amazon when it went on sale for £25. An absolute bargain at that price even without extras or even subtitles.
I watched the first two episodes last night and was really impressed with the picture quality; it looks extremely good considering the age of the series. Audio was also great and I had no problems hearing it at normal volume levels despite my moderate hearing loss and a lack of aforementioned subtitles on the disc.
Overall I'm impressed but I do wish companies like Network were more considerate toward people with hearing loss. I am fine, thankfully, but there are people out there with major or total hearing loss that might want to watch this. There's really no excuse for not including subtitles on BD these days (I remember having to import the Australian releases of Spartacus on BD for the subtitles because the later UK releases lacked both those and the extras; a clear sign that it was rushed out IMO).
Did any of the DVD releases of Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) have subtitles by the way?

Well I got it for Christmas and I've watched the first two episodes. As expected the sound was poor on the first. I haven't watched the DVD for sometime now but I think it was probably a bit better than I recall. After all the positive comments on the picture quality I was disappointed. I didn't think it was as good as the Department S release and there seemed to be quite a bit of judder in some shots. Am I the only one to see this?
