I read over at http://www.dvdreviewer.co.uk last Thursday, that on the 25th March, The West Wing (R2) box 1 will be released with a retail price of £34.99 (so I'm guessing 3 discs).

However, nowhere else has this news item and as yet nowhere has is available for pre-order.

Can anyone confirm if this is in fact true.

DVD Debate also reported the release (and said it was volumes 1-3) a few weeks back, but I've not heard about it anywhere else and I don't know of anyone taking orders yet.

R2 Project (http://www.r2-dvd.org/article.jsp?sectionId=2&articleId=3310) is giving some details.
Anyone knows of an R4 release?

Got the press release this morning - it's the first 11 episodes of the first season they're releasing, and it will be out the end of March for £35.

I read somewhere that the 2nd half of season 1 due to be released around July. :(

Anyone know when season 2 starts on Channel 4? Dont have Cable/Digital.

Need a West Wing fix soon.

Was on Dvd.reviewer.co.uk in todays news section

I noticed that this is in 4:3 full frame, I thought The West Wing was filmed in W/S.:confused:

play often don't get the video format or audio format correct.

That said, we're talking about Warner here, so there is as much chance of ever getting it w/s as there is of a pretzel becoming president.

So, about 50/50 then? ;)

Was it ever shown in widescreen over here? I just remember E4 showing it in 4:3.

Truly brilliant show; the same mix of satire and drama that makes The Sopranos such a sucess.

Series 3 onwards is in widescreen; the first episode, "Issac and Ishmale", screened specially on E4 recently, was shown as such. So the correct ratio for series one is 4:3. :)

:(, I was hoping for something closer to £25, at this price it is just taking out the VAT from the official retail price, nothing more...R4 please,please
