No I haven't bought anything since Look-back I should have bought them when the price was low before xmas, although the Doomboat chase is now back down to £9.18 and 4-Idle hands, and yes I still would like Shadows 1, I wouild also like to get 1 offs DVD's like Armchair thriller, Hazel, Tales of the unexpected, plus others,
Zodiac looks interesting from 1974 I don't remember it,also Scorpion Tales Arrrrrggggg just so many I want.

I don't think I want Metal Micky anymore.

I will look at my finance's at the end of the month.

I think I need to buy a Blu ray player.

There still may be a 30%, 40% or 50% off sale at Network soon - there usually is some kind of sale around the early part of the year.

That would be good I will probably go crazy and buy loads.

Raven bad news the morons burnt down the Sony storage depot at Enfield, not just Network lost things loads of other companies did as well.

Yes, I knew that. Very unfortunate for Network and lots of other companies, including some indie record labels. I suppose Network's website exclusive releases will be hit hardest, because lots of the generally available titles will be out with retailers.

Network have a few new things of interest out or nearly out: The Strange World of Gurney Slade, Dramarama: Spooky, Shadows series 3 ...

It would be karma if the fiends who destroyed that warehouse wanted to buy something (i.e. a DVD or CD) only to find it's out of stock due to the fire!

I've been buying box sets off ebay - 60s western shows mainly Laredo, Laramie and the Virginian all of which I grew up watching in the 60s. The problem with the company that releases them is that they don't put the region code on the box. I saw these at the comic fair but didn't buy them as i couldn't be sure they were region 2. Luckily the ebay sellers have given the region code. Yes I did hack my dvd player to become multi-region a few years ago but for some reason it returned to region 2 only and I couldn't re-hack it. Odd that. Yes I know I can buy a new one for a score but I already have another freeview box with card (for ESPN) and a Freeview HDD/DVD recorder for recordings and don't want another box n front of my telly. (I don't want to hack the latter as i'm scared I might bugger it up as it has served me very well with recording tv shows and transferring them to disc over the years - its a Wharfedale).

I cannot retrieve the quote posted by Tony Ingram in Febuary 2010 about Z Cars.

I have just noticed this "Bobbies on the Box" write up in an early seventies comic , i thought it may be of interest to some members , even though it was discussed in 2010.

I never missed Z-Cars in the 70s with PC Quilley and PC Render, DI Hagger etc. Very true to life. BBC4 should repeat them.

A very interesting looking obscure curio from 1968 out from Network (a website exclusive) on Monday. A 1968 ITV children's adventure series set in swinging London with a soundtrack including Pink Floyd, The Nice, Cream and The Moody Blues. In colour - and in novelty packaging!

Amazingly, the 1960s `Batman` series isn't on DVD at all! "Holy DVD Shortage!!"
