I read elsewhere that it was the parent company that was in trouble, and it was possible that DD might remain a going concern. Here's hoping.

Remember that the chief aim of the administrators will be to dispose of the company as a going concernLet us hope that there is someone out there who is interested enough to keep this company going as a financially viable entity

As assets of the business I wonder if the Administrators could sell on the licencing contracts...?

Best to hope for (as said here) is that this subsidiary can be sold as a going concern ; something Virgin Media could consider adding to their Network label perhaps ? One can but hope...

Weren't KPMG the same administrators that dealt with Leeds? I hope the do a better job with DDHE.

A real shame as DDHE had a good forthcoming slate including Gideon's Day and a Scrooge SE packed with extras.

Boy... as much as I've thought about buying a theatre, the idea of getting something like DD is a whole other fantasy. Thanks for that link into FT...

A friend of mine does design work for DD - I hope he doesn't have any outstanding bills! I'm seeing him this weekend, so I'll ask if he knows anything.

Not good news for us addicts.
I picked this up when I paid one of my regular visits to their website. They had a pretty good catalogue and I had earmarked a couple of boxed sets as Xmas pressies. I guess it's "goodbye for now" to the second series of MANHUNT?
Hope something can be worked out
