The Rag Trade Series 1 dvd - 2 episodes missing ?

[Gary B]

I received the Rag Trade Series 1 dvds today , it`s a 2 disc set .

The dvd cover states that all TEN episodes of series 1 are on the discs , but it only has a running time of 4 hours !!

I thought that the running time seemed odd , as it should be 10 x 30 mins = 5 hours .

Therefore I unpacked the discs to check the contents .. the bad news is .. there`s only 4 episodes on each disc !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Disc 1

1. The French Fashions
2. Christmas box
3. The Baby
4. Getting married

Disc 2

5. Early Start
6. Unhappy Customer
7. Doctors Orders
8. The Sample

Whats happened to the other other 2 episodes ?? A.F.A.I.K. none of the episodes have been junked !

[Mark Smith]

Oh no! Not ANOTHER bleedin' 2Entertain balls-up.

Who the hell is putting these discs together? The local school kids?

[Mark Smith]

And just to rub salt into the wounds, the episodes aren't in broadcast order either!

Pah... damned amateurs!!

[Colin Watson]

Are you going to apologise to 2|Entertain as it is a DD release?

[Mark Smith]

Nope.

2Entertain are still plonkers... and DDHE should know better!

[Gary B]

Episodes 7 + 9 are missing !! Are we sure that the episodes still exist , and have`nt been JUNKED ??

Well... That's one way, to get us to buy this set again in the future, as soon as they can be bothered to do a proper job...

And I was so much waiting for this to appear... and now I don't know what to do...

Of course yer 'general public' won't know there are two missing from this or 'Likely Lads'.

[Andrew Doherty]

There used to be something called 'taking pride in a job well done' and in producing a good product.

So, not only did you have the opportunity of making a tidy profit, but there was the sense of achievement in seeing yet another set of satisfied customers. (Oh dear, I am talking about forty and more years ago.)

Some hope, under the less than polite commercial environment encouraged today.

Yours,

Not until they read the DVD back cover and realise they've got eight episodes for the price of ten!
