I agree with you, of course. The merely curious aren't the ones who would buy anyway. The rest of us will buy no matter what. The remastered Beatles CDs are proof of this. Thanks, Ali.

I saw the episodes back in the mid 80s when they were played on PBS (I believe) and have ever since been enthralled by it and never forgotten it. And, like most if not all who have enjoyed your posting, I will definitely buy it if/when it is released on DVD." Those who buy these sorts of things are generally "completists" and total fans - they will invariably buy the best version available even if they already own a lesser version. I will even venture to say that many out there who own the VHS set will jump at the chance of buying it on DVD." While I missed out buying the VHS set in time before they disappeared, I did manage buy Brownlow's Cinema Europe on DVD. Well, here’s my message to those legal types:

Only a couple more to go. As I've made a point of telling others via e-mail, the moment I receive a message from a legal type, or someone representing Brownlow, the page will be gone in two seconds.

It is certainly a lot of effort solely for the benefit of the rest of us and I am very appreciative and I am sure the rest of your readers are too.
