The Paul Temple Black and White Collection

This Australian release soon from Madman is boasting that it contains (possibly) worldwide exclusive lost episodes. It also has a number of very nice extras, for those interested.

Paul Temple - Collection 1

Seems like good value at $39.95. I'll be scouring the shops!!

Curses ! Just after I'd been given a copy of the Acorn set ! Looks like some great extras, including some of the 'lost' episodes. Could these be the five BW copies held by the BBC ? Would be even better if they'd found some way to re-unite their soundtracks with the German dubbed colour versions.

Reading the blurb, they describe the 'lost' episodes as being from the final (colour) series.





"Worldwide exclusive ?lost? episodes from the final series of PAUL TEMPLE"



I may be wrong, but I think what they mean are the 'surviving' episodes, the ones that are found on the Acorn release.

[Cooper S]

It's not very clear is it ? The 'lost' episodes, the FM commentary on Games People Play and a booklet seem to be exclusive to the Madman set, but it would be helpful if they told you what the 'lost' episodes are. From the Paul Temple Media Gems site, the BBC seems to hold monochrome copies (16mm b/w film recordings of orig. videotape)of five of the final colour season episodes, namely :



THE GUILTY MUST DIE

GAME, SET AND MATCH

LONG RIDE TO RED GAP

WINNER TAKES ALL

CRITCS, YES! (BUT THIS IS RIDICULOUS)



There are apparantly dubbed German copies in existence of all the second, third and fourth season episodes. All first season episodes appear to be completely lost. So I wonder what definition of 'lost' they are using ?

I would think that it is only a draft blurb that has made it to Madman's website and I would expect more detail as the release date approaches. They have been doing some excellent work with TV boxsets from the UK and the US. And very well priced too.

Excellent news indeed.

Yes it will be nice to see them on a UK DVD release at last. I have seen 'The Guilty Must Die' thanks to a friend however I have only seen some test sequences from 'Game, Set and Match ' that were done from the CR [Colour Recovery] process a few years ago by Richard Russell.
