well considering they are a small company with a niche market getting good quality masters will not be easy for cheap.

My ONLY gripe with Arrow is the use of EE and DNR on thier Blu releases.
Not wanting to start this discussion but thats just my views

My understanding from different US sources is that the original master (the one used for releases in the last couple of years) was done in SD, not HD. Also per one of the US sources' knowledge, this may be the source that Arrow used for their PAL transfer. The elements are suitable for a HD remaster, but no -- there's no HD master available right now that they can create a PAL master from (assuming Arrow did use the same master the US sources are referring to). But I'm no insider, I've just had a couple discussions with some people related to past SAVAGE STREETS work. And I'm not giving an answer for Arrow -- I do not 100% know what the full answer is at this point, I want to be wholly clear on that.

No, there was an available PAL digibeta from which Arrow were able to make a new encoding.

Thanks for the replies, guys. I wasn't trying to be contentious, it's just that Nos's post made it sound as if Arrow could only get hold of sub-standard materials to work with. Sorry for any misunderstanding. I'm sure it will look and sound great, it's a shame no BD will be forthcoming but I understand why that is.

It's no bother -- we try to be as open as possible when it comes to what is available and why decisions are made. That's what makes this forum such a valuable resource and why the interaction between users here and Arrow/Shameless is practically unique.

I've resisted watching the temptation of Ms Blair's 'charms' until this version is released!

Just read that the upcoming Code Red dvd will include the commentary from the BCI release, but that the BCI commentary was edited (for legal reasons?) and will now be presented uncut. Will Arrow be priving this uncut commentary, or the original version?
