I wouldn't like to be released on DVD at all! I don't think I could be reduced to 8,5 GB or even Blue Ray.

Family Affair starring Brian Keith. Enjoyed this when I was young.

Three early episodes only exist in the BBC archives in B&W, with one in poor condition. One of those was restored to colour from a low-bandwidth recording to give acceptable results.

The original version of the Kitten Kong episode appears to have been lost - only the Golden Rose of Montreux remake remains.

Isnt there a section of the forum for this kind of banter? 'out of the archive' isnt it? Not that im bothered mind

F.J. was repeated on one of the satellite channels circa 1993 / 94 (UK Gold, if memory serves - when that channel was still worth watching).

The first episode was a cracker (with Ian McShane guesting as the leader of band of Elizabethan buccaneers who had also been stranded), but after that most of the cast were written out and it degenerated into camp '70s sillyness (extraterrestrial humanoids in platforms, silver flares and pink wigs etc.).

Still, I do regret not taping it for posterity when I had the chance back then (as indeed I bitterly regret taping over the clasic TOTP episodes repeated around the same time).

Personally I'd like to sse the Irwin Allen shows "Time Tunnel", "Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea" and "Land Of The Giants" out on R2 (I loathed "Lost In Space" even as a kid).
