 He was dashing, debonair and daring. He had pledged to fight evil, to undertake any dangerous or delicate mission on behalf of his sovereign. He was fin de siecle gentleman, Adam Adamant. Was and is - for Adam Adamant Lives! In 1966, the BBC turned to Doctor Who creator Sydney Newman and producer Verity Lambert for an idea to emulate ITV's success with The Avengers, Adam Adamant Lives! saw ever-so British star Gerald Harper take the lead role and Ridley Scott, acclaimed director of Gladiator and Alien, direct several episodes. Only two series were made but three decades later a certain Austin Powers exquisite parodied the series... Special Features This Man Is The One: a new documentary hosted by The League of Gentlemen's Mark Gatiss, exclusive to this DVD, featuring Gerald Harper, Juliet Harmer, Verity Lambert and Brian Clemens Audio commentary for the first and last broadcast episodes featuring Gerald Harper, Juliet Harmer and Verity Lambert (52 minutes) Adam Adamant's Wheels: A 7-minute mini-documentary on Adam's faithful Mini Cooper! Missing Sounds: an audio extract from the missing series 2 episode A Slight Case Of Reincarnation Outtakes: Filming and studio outtakes from A Vintage Year For Scoundrels and Sing A Song Of Murder Photo gallery: a photo gallery including colour pictures and some from the unbroadcast pilot episode, accompanied by music from the series (13 mins) PDFs (DVD-Rom only. PC/Mac): the full scripts for the 12 missing broadcast episodes, the Adam Adamant Annual, the TV Comic, TV Comic Holiday Special and TV Comic Annual comic strip stories Want to buy this title? order it through the products page on the main site (www.missing-episodes.com) and we will get a small commision. |

Anyone know why this is out of print now? I’m thinking of buying it, unless it is known that it’s coming out again with more episodes or something...

It's 13 years since the series was released on DVD, since then it might have been discontinued, thus the only copies available are in private hands. I have seen good condition DVD boxsets on ebay for £30 on a good day. |

Kaleidoscope have it (they found it) but I'm not sure if they screened it or not (or what's the sound equivalent of screening). There was talk of animating the episode, but nothing has been heard of it for some time (pun half intended). I bought my set for a fiver in Holland, where the DVD had inexplicably been released as well, even though no-one there knew the program at all. |

If there had not been a full dvd release then it would be a nice extra, however as a standard alone item it might not be commercial viable release. Is the Holland version any different to the UK release? |

Is the Holland version any different to the UK release? The two sets of outtakes were omitted, for reasons unknown. And of course, (optional) subtitles. |
