Well this would be a welcomed addition to my collection -- any reviews of the first volume? Anyone know if this could be released on this side of the Atlantic?

I have the first volume, Dan, but haven't had a chance to watch it yet. Will do a spot check soon and let you know how it looks. Doubt you'll see this from anyone else but Network in the U.K., though.
