Neil, does your crystal ball see anything in the way of future season releases of The Defenders?
My crystal ball sees only darkness. Since this was a show that didn't have pre-existing transfers, sales would have had to justify the costs for the series to continue. They didn't.
Flashgear, the entire series of Espionage is available on a nice UK DVD set (http://amzn.eu/4ixivvd), though it would be nice to get it (and the rest of Brenner) released in the US. Right now things are looking dire for more Defenders, but I also hold out hope for more Brodkin product some time in the future....it would be great to have access to the whole Herbert Brodkin / Reginald Rose / PLAUTUS archive...Brenner, Espionage etc...
As long as you're shopping R2, I'm going to suggest The Human Jungle and Gideon's Way--quality early 60s B&W filmed TV drama from the UK. (Just in case you haven't already checked them out) The DVD sets have been out for several years now, so they're pretty cheap.Thank you Jason for that info...I have been buying R2 and R4 TV sets from the UK recently (Hitchcock Hour/Presents, McCloud, Banacek, Champions, Sandbaggers) and will check out Espionage...very happy to hear that Coronet Blue will be coming in R1...
If you're allowed to say, Neil Brock, is Coronet Blue coming from Shout, Madman or CBS MOD?
Is Run For Your Life seeing any semblance of light in the crystal ball. It is long overdue and one of the very few 60's hour long dramas running 3 seasons not released
None of the above.
Hmmm, VEI, Acorn/Image/RLJ, or A&E?
A company which I had never heard of but apparently is known among those who collect theatrical films. I don't believe they have ever done a TV series before this.
Possibly Olive or Kino then (guessing Olive). Both have more recently got into releasing movie serials, so maybe TV is that next step to explore.
