Waaaay overpriced IMO. For a list price of £8.50 an episode these should be totally remastered with commentaries but it’s a safe bet we’re getting neither.

Think I'll wait a few months and try to pick them up more cheaply. Have to agree, this was a brilliant series in it's day, and shame with all the pap ITV2 keep pumping out, that they haven't seen fit to repeat it in recent times. :(

UK Gold have repeated it. I’d also like to see the excellent Cribb again.

That's the last time I caught it now that you've reminded me. Still, would be nice for a TV repeat in the meantime, whilst the DVD's come down to a bargain price. :)

I couldn’t say. BFS in Canada (the distributors) like to play their cards close to their chest, so close in fact that were you to peruse their coming attractions you wouldn’t even know this was being released! Might be worth putting a mail into them I think.

This Cribb set and the Reilly Ace of Spies boxset are the best news of the year so far IMO.

looking at the specs for CRIBB on amazon.com looks like the episodes are not in the correct order(maybe this was how they were shown in the states)and no pilot "waxwork":mad: looks like i'll have to transfer my ancient granada video over to dvd myself..

And it’s only a paltry 7 episodes!! :( :mad: Would it have killed them to do all 13?

Why does everyone else who orders from amazon.ca get shipped via airmail and every damn order I have goes via surface?

Why do they hate me :confused: ;)
