i can get rid of my scrappy copies, wonder if they will keep all the racism in it?

All I did was double-cross the CIA
G.E. and Lockheed do that every day!

I picked them up last night in the end. Damn pricey!!!!! £27.99 for seasons 1-2 and £27.99 for seasons 3-4. But if you get them in the double boxset its £39.99... which is what i went for (as it is exactly the same as buying them seperately... go figure).

Anywho... Markren is right, the packaging does state that some audio has been edited. I watched the 1st 4 episodes and I didn't notice any changes... however i haven't seen these since re-runs 10 years ago.

The picture quality is good, as is the sound. There are no extra features (shame).

Damn that sucks..

It doesn't come with any booklets or anything? I was hoping for a "Where are they now?" feature or something.

This is why i dislike Official Releases, they tend to edit and change certain aspects of the show; So the derogratory language is changed?

[–] JIM_KELLYS_AFRO 17 years ago

I've watched the first episode so far, picture could have been remastered, sound is okay, there are no subtitles and it's in full screen.

[–] wonderwall100 17 years ago

[–] mr_sparky 17 years ago

Just started watching Series 3.

I really hope the rest of the series is released soon. I don't want to wait years. Especially the 90s Grange Hill. That was my fave.
