Would love to see "Moody & Pegg" again,
Would love to see all BBC series episodes of "The Goodies",
& Most of all would love to see all 10 Episodes of "The Fantastic Journey" again as well as having them released on DVD (R2).
"The Fantastic Journey" starred, Jared Martin, Roddy Mcdowell and Ike Eisenman (Who remembers this excellent but short lived prog???).

I couldn't agree more - I think the Sherlock Holmes BBC Series was the best. Douglas Wilmer was undoubtedly the best actor I've ever seen in this role. One episode I particularly remember, "The Devil's Foot" I believe was THE BEST of the whole series and I remember it with great clarity and was greatly impressed with his performance in it. I would really love to see them, either repeated or submitted for release on DVD, as I know that only 2 episodes were ever made available on VHS video.

I would like to see the comedy/drama "Sticky Wickets" available on DVD as it has not been shown since it's only broadcast back in October 1990 as part of the Screen One season. It was a very much a story of Wales in 1990 with the Coalmines closed and the area trying to attract outside investment. It starred George Sewell, Sion Probert, James Bolam and Alun Armstrong. I have it on VHS, but no longer have a video player/recorder. It was so well written and very funny and poignant, and contemporary for its time.

i would like to see all of peak practice out on dvd so far 1-4 are out but what about 5-12

[Andy Howells]

All surviving Z Cars, Softly Softly and Dixon of Dock Green - enjoying the BBCFour reruns and would love to see more! Bring back memories of childhood!

The Avengers
Counterstrike
Dixon of Dock Green
Doomwatch
Out of the Unknown
Police Suregon (on a compilation DVD, presumably with "odds and sods" from ABC)
Softly, Softly
Z Cars

Now - ABC oddments - what a great idea! Also much welcomed would be the PATHFINDERS (62) series; and surviving LION THE WITCH AND WARDROBE (also ABC oddments).

I know it's not as commercial but I know many would welcome a selection over the years 1957 - 67 of the various ABC entries to 'ARMCHAIR THEATRE'. It's the sort of thing that would sit well on a BFI sales shelf.

Armchair theatre would be a highly welcome release. I havent seen much of that at all and it seems to have quite a pedigree.

[Greg H]

Seen a few people mentioning the Wilmer Holmes. A release of that would be amazing

[LanceM]

For me, would be great to see released on DVD at some point in the future:

Out Of The Unknown ( also existing material for Caves of Steel, as have now seen the BBC Effects film,opening credits, existing footage for the opening ( somewhat graphic ) murder sequence, and odd clips )

Top Of The Pops
Dixon Of Dock Green ( see some lost audio recordings as extras, like the reel to reel recording currently being sold on ebay for example ? )
Sherlock Holmes (BBC Series)
Crackerjack
Juke Box Jury (Existing Material)
Jackanory
Boyd Q.C.
The Hippodrome Show
The Music of Lennon and McCartney
Sunday Night At The London Palladium
The New Palladium Show
Val Doonican Show
Des, O Connor Show
Parkinson
The Golden Shot
Ready,Steady,Go
Z-Cars
Armchair Theater
BBC Moon-landing Footage, and existing footage for the historical event.

ABC oddments like to see released:

Mystery and Imagination ( Existing Material )
Police Surgeon ( Existing Material )

ABC Closings 2in Masters Recently Discovered, think they would both make a good candidates for a DVD Anniversary release !

Cheers, Lance.

Single plays seem to be very thin on the ground indeed as far as DVD releases are concerned (compared to other types of shows anyway). Strange really as these are considered to be among the crown jewels of TV history. So any releases of Armchair Theatre, Play For Today, The Wednesday Play, Saturday Night Theatre, Theatre 625 etc. and other play anthologies would be very welcome!

[Stephen Doran]

More Dennis Potter plays from the 60s/70s ,the remaining Public Eye eps too.

[JeffL]

I would like to see "Box of Delights" come out as an R-1 release.

[johnleather]

Having just heard Julian Glover talk about it on a Doctor Who commentary I'd like to see 'An Age of Kings' get a DVD release.
I too would like to see the Douglas Wilmer 'Sherlock Holmes' and the Rupert Davies 'Maigret' series.
