Wow! Thanks for thisNick.
I'm in the area too - a bit wet the past 24 hours though
Will get to Burley and have a look. Fingers crossed the weather clears. We're in a tent!

Re: 1970s series incidental music.
Albeit in a similar style I don't recall this being used in the serie, S1 or S2.
Thanks for the link though! Nice to see more of this classic incidental music is being uploaded and appreciated

Re: 70s Famous Five on DVD?
Hi and merry Xmas! To answer your question directly. The NZ/Aus release is not worth buying. It's basically VHS converted to DVD. See the previous threads here on this. The UK version is being made in conjunction with Moviemax who did a complete cleanup/upgrade of the series in 2010. I was involved ...

Re: 70s Famous Five on DVD?
This came in from my contacts at Moviemax GmbH. Looks like the imminent UK release will feature the cleaned up footage. Fingers crossed for Bluray also. It's the extras which are the most intriguing!! :) "Licensor Moviemax announced that the UK rights have been granted to the original series fr...

Re: 70s Famous Five on DVD?
I assumed as much re the Aus/NZ release. I contacted the German company and they said no one approached them about utilizing their enhanced HD footage. The packaging states their are extras. Surely this is false advertising as there seems to be none going by comments above. The cost is def too high ...

Re: 70s Famous Five on DVD?
It's a shame none of these new releases are being produced on Bluray. I was involved in the German release late last year and I have to say the image results are startling. It may have the perpetual English subtitles but I'm still very happy to have the full 1080p image upgrade. Maybe the eventual U...

Re: TV locations for the Famous Five series
It's great having all this info so readily available and of course a translation of the German fan site! My partner and I will be traveling next year for a few months and plan to do a cycle trip in the south of England. Still considering adding a tent to our pack ;) Accommodation in Exbury easy to c...

Hi all,
I did get a reply from my Fbook wall post. He says shutting down the biz is necessary to start work on refunds and related issues ASAP . It's all in the works, apparently.

Re: 70s Famous Five on DVD?
Good to see something is on its way! I would love to see a documentary made tracing the whole cult status of this series, which I ran home from primary school each Monday afternoon to watch. There is so much material and I'd (as a New Zealander), would love to see the locations and actors as they we...

Re: Blatant plug time. Apologies but...
Feeling both relieved and sad at this recent news... I had nearly clean forgotten about the book it had been so long, I logged on here for something else and I went to check and saw all these comments! I can understand how others like myself were excited to be part of this tome if we paid upfront an...

Re: 70s Famous Five on DVD?
Ok - didn't know or had access to this info.
Oh well, so be it. I will be receiving a free copy of the edition, so happy all the same and when (if ever) the Brit version comes out I'll get that one too.
Thanks for that!
