My list would include Armchair Theatre (all surviving not just ABC) You do realise Network released a volume of these in January, and that another volume is promised for later this year? |

Yes, I bought it when it came out and am waiting to see what's on volume 2. But given the number of episodes which have survived we need either more releases or larger box sets to ensure as many as possible become available again.

Well, with Network's track record, as long as the title sells reasonably, you'll probably see the releases continue, but just don't expect a new volume every other month. Network just don't work that way.

Not tv but I would love to see the Tales of Edgar Wallace series on dvd. I loved watching those in sporadic repeat slots across the years but they seem to have gone off the map now (apart from the apalling quality episode put out on a sampler dvd last year). Always told an intriguing story with lots of atmosphere and plenty of well known people in the cast. Seems like a very obvious choice to put out to me!

Why not email or write to them and ask? The more people ask, the more of a market they may perceive there to be for archive material. |

There are three series I would like to see again:
Francis Durbridge presents.... Breakaway (1980) (BBC1 2 x 6 part series starring Martin Jarvis)
Call Me Mister (1986) (10 part series starring Steve Bisley and written by Robert Banks Stewart)
Game Set and Match (1988) (it starred Ian Holm and Amanda Donohoe - I believe it was ITV but could have been C4)
To my knowledge, only Call Me Mister has ever been repeated (it was shown in the early days of UK Gold). Any information on these shows would be greatly appreciated.

Any information on these shows would be greatly appreciated. That reminds me of the other Francis Durbridge serials right back to the '60s which were a staple of our viewing for so many years. I wouldn't mind seeing all of these released. I got the 1974 version of Melissa on DVD, which was very enjoyable. |

I'd like(just a few):
a complete set of all the Q5 up to There's A Lot Of It About
a complete Not Only... But Also... set featuring ALL surviving material, including audio extras
a set comprising various "one-offs". Not sure of the paperwork(but this is a wish list ;D ). So it'd have Out Of The Trees, Elementary Dear Watson, Peter Cook And Co. etc.
Themed TOTP DVDs. Thus, for example, one DVD featuring all the T Rex, Slade, Sweet etc., to name just an example
An Old Grey Whistle Test DVD where they aren't ashamed to admit their Prog-esque origins, and includes King Crimson, Camel et al
Also, there are shows that DID get a (limited time) DVD release, but are not out of print, and are only available for ludicrous amounts of money through dodgy online retailers...

I'd definitely be up for TOTP themed collections. Given the lack of many early complete shows, this is a useful way to utilise a large selection of existing orphaned clips. So long as they were complete performances with no captions / logos etc. (i.e. a TOTP2- type affair). If the BBC made a bit of effort to recover some of the clips out there (e.g. '60s Kinks clips, early '70s material used in Disco etc.) the selection could be even better!

I think it's time someone made use of the 67 tape segment of TOTP as nothing bar BBC4s Elton John documentary has used anything - quality transferred very well there.
It would be nice for a change if they VidFired the oft seen ones from 64 - 64 from T/R. That would generate new interest in oft used clips people are getting tired of now. If they brought out a DVD with the T/R clips we've seen already but VidFired I'd buy it.
Also the BBC does have the first 1964 title sequence but never use it.i
