Chessgame has been released in the USA on DVD as three seperate stories "The Alamut Ambush", "Cold War Killers" and "Deadly Recruits".

Thankyou Winsfordtown,



I didn't know that Chessgame had been released anywhere. I think it's last UK screening was on Granada Plus around 1997 which is when I recorded it.

Hello Paul. That's an impressive list of titles, several of which have threads here - including The Kids From 47A, where I've just finished posting. The Flaxton Boys is one of my earliest TV memories, along with Timeslip and Catweazle which are available, while Pardon My Genie has just had it's first series released. I was about 7 or 8 when that show, Justice, Man at the Top and New Scotland Yard were televised but have next to no memories of any of them. Just awareness that they were on I suppose. The real surprise is the number of shows I've drawn a blank with as TITLES - from Redgauntlet and Soldier and Me to Helen - A Woman of Today. No evidence of my having watched any of them. It's only through my TVTimes PDFs that I've been enlightened, not from memory unfortunately.



Missing from your list are some of the programmes I recently wrote about at the 'Sitcom's That Haven't Been Repeated' thread, Dear Mother ... Love Albert, Lollipop Loves Mr. Mole and Sadie, It's Cold Outside. Also, Born and Bred - I loved that show. The regular cast included James Grout, Susan Tracy, Richard O'Callaghan and veterans Max Wall and Joan Sims. This is not to be confused with the BBC1 series that starred James Bolam and Donald Gee, among others, about 20 years later. Another I liked was the mini-series the Bass Player and The Blonde, with Edward Woodward and Jane Wymark (daughter of Patrick). The show I'm most anxious to see released, and the one that's driven me mad for the last year, so often has it turned up in actors' filmographies, is Marked Personal.



Thank you for including Fallen Hero (the first time I noticed Del Henney and Wanda Ventham) and the star-studded Murder at the Wedding, both of which haven't been mentioned in the last 30 years, let alone seen.

DVD Update

It's just under eighteen months since this thread was started and many of the programmes Psul listed have since been released. I am particularly thrilled about Fallen Hero, Man at the Top, Spyder's Web and Turtle's Progress. The latter was a spin-off from The Hanged Man, also mentioned above, which came out last year.

Among the other requested series that have turned up on DVD are The Sentimental Agent (which I've loved watching the last couple of months), The Gold Robbers, Travelling Man, 99-1, Muck and Brass, Boy Dominic, Flickers, Floodtide and Mr. Palfrey of Westminster.

I Remember Nelson, starring Kenneth Colley, Demob and Warrior Queen are all on Region 1, while an episode of Moving Story can be found on the Jack Rosenthal at ITV box set. From my own list, the long-awaited Dear Mother ... Love Albert is now available (hardly great but occasionally funny), and I'm very much looking forward to seeing The Bass Player and the Blonde, with Edward Woodward and Jane Wymark, which I'll probably buy when Network have their next sale.

As I've mentioned several times here, Women's series are largely ignored so I continue to be pessimistic about Kate, Justice and the others originally mentioned. Slightly more hopeful about The Foundation, with Lynette Davies, as Late '70s shows are doing quite well at the moment.

Floodtide can now be found on Network DVD for purchase. And it's just as good as I remembered.

I wish Mog (1985) would come out on DVD.

The series I'm most wanting on DVD is Something In Disguise.
