Knights of God

[Glenn Curtis]

I only just discovered that Knights of God only has domestic video copies of most of the episodes.

I have a VHS tape I made and believe it was recorded off air but can't really remember after all those years.

Would anyone be interested in having my copy?

[Ray Langstone (was saintsray)]

Yes please.

I have supplied a few copies of the series to Kaleidoscope (VHS - DIGITAL UPLOAD - FILE TRANSFER) but not all of the ones they have.

Off-airs can vary hugely in quality, too.

[Glenn Curtis]

Thanks. I have sent you a message.

[Glenn Curtis]

I have agreed to send Ray the tape.

Only stumbling block is not going to the post office at the moment; furthest I have been is to post a letter. Has anyone posted a VHS tape recently and can suggest how much in stamps to put on the jiffy bag?

Thanks. Very useful.

If you have a Paypal account and a printer you can print out postage and not need to go to an actual Post Office:

I hadn’t thought of that. I just stuck a load of stamps on the package.

I have to thank you, Glenn, for your original post as I had never even head of this show until then! Even given its single UK broadcast run and lack of home releases part of me thinks, "How the hell had I NOT known about this?" It seems to tick almost all the boxes - alt history/sci-fi, Gareth Thomas, Pat Troughton and other Dr. Who vets. Well, a quick search turned up all of the episodes on youtube and I have watched the first two episodes already. Thanks again for bringing this to my attention. Fun stuff!

All episodes are online on youtube. I don't know if they are the same domestic videos that already exist, but maybe worth checking out.

Also, something else of interest to go in the Youtube thread.

Pretty sure I have one random episode of this serial on a VHS.
I remember as I was following it each Sunday and had someone record it at the end of a tape when I was on holiday.

[alan morton]

Had someone tape them for me on Betamax when it was first on, still have them somewhere.

[John Wall]

It’s the sort of thing TPTV might be interested in showing.

A really good story, I'm suspired it never got a DVD release.

There were, though, numerous foreign VHS releases at the time:

* Spanish-dubbed 148 minute compilation

* German-dubbed 199 minute compilation

* Danish, Finnish, and Greek subtitles 118 + 120 compilations (two tapes)

A couple of years back I started re-dubbing the German compilation with the original English-language soundtrack (or rather re-dubbing a S-VHS copy of the compilation). Most of the reduction is down to removing material, but a small number of scenes are rearranged to better suit the edited narrative.
