Hi Guys, Could anyone please let me know what extra features are on the new collectors box set edition. As you may know by now, in Australia they did not include any bonus material as promised so I am very eager to find out what is on the new UK edition so I can purchase it in the near future. Many...

Hi, Thank you very much Tony, Moonraker and Pippa-Stef for your very prompt replies to my email. I emailed Tim at both tim@hirstbooks.com and info@hirstbooks.com and I am delighted to say that I received an almost immediate reply and refund. He replied to me via the info@hirstbooks.com email addres...

by Tony Summerfield » 15 Sep 2011, 21:05 Having not received a reply, I resent my last email to Tim Hirst again yesterday, he replied in five minutes and refunded me in ten minutes! I gathered from his reply that he is still quite busy sending out refunds, so I would guess that a great many people ...

I have contacted Roadshow who in turn run Reel Distributors making them aware of the issue of what is being advertised and what is being delivered. Still waiting to hear back. It appears that online retailers in Australia are all using the same description of the dvds, (running time and bonus mater...

Hi Gail, I just got the DVD yesterday and I must say I am very disappointed. All the advertising for the DVD say it has extensive bonus material but there is no mention of it on the actual cover or case or on the discs. I havent' watched the episodes through because I was saving it for Christmas bu...

Great researching Maritaskeeta. Thanks for the information. I had discovered that cheaper price too soon after I had made my post on this forum.

Wow - I am blown away. This is great news. I thought it would never happen but for once we are the lucky ones here. The new dvd is approx. $37.95 AU and includes extensive bonus material too. Can't wait.

I have finally requested a refund for my pre-order purchase of this book this morning. It is so so very disappointing to have the book put on hold considering there are so many keen and devoted fans. I really wish I didn't have to cancel my order but not knowing if and when the book will ever be re...

Hi,
I am really looking forward to receiving the book. I pre-purchased it back in March 2011 as soon as I read about it. I am not much of a reader usually but I will definitely be reading this book cover to cover.
Thank you!!

Hi there, I have voted 'Yes' to purchasing the DVD when eventually the 70's series is released. The information you all have provided has been very enlightening as to what is going on with the rights issue. I only hope that when it is released it will be available in Australia or on a format that c...

How lucky are you George@Kirrin to own photographs, autograph cards, postcards, the spanish game cube, viewmaster, stickers, crossword book, badges, colouring book, card game, etc. - I would be in heaven. Those scans were very enlightening. Unfortunately in Australia we only had the tv series books...

Definitely the original 70's series is the best by far. The actors are terrific - I couldn't imagine a better cast. They portray the characters so well and their acting is so real to life. All the episodes are fantastic - very close to the books and the locations are wonderful. I also love the theme...

Gee I really wish the Famous Five 70's series was released on DVD. In Australia the videos were released from 1989 to ~ 1992. Unfortunately I didn't buy them all because I must have presumed they would always be around. Luckily I got some episodes copied from a local library and some on ebay to comp...

Such a hard decision - I really love them all. The characters and actors in all episodes are fabulour. But I guess if I had to pick a few particular favourites I would have to say: Five Get Into Trouble - I love that the Five are on a cycling holiday in the lovely forest environment and the exciteme...
