If you go to the Network Home page:

Click on the pop up detonator - and you get what appears to be a Hi Def trailer for the classic 1970s series of Quatermass with John Mills. Looks as though a little restoration has gone on for what is almost certainly an upcoming BD release. Day One for me.

Network will be releasing Nigel Kneale's Quatermass series on Blu!

Quote:

A Limited Edition first run of this Blu-ray will be available in four different coloured sleeves, based on the title colour scheme of each episode. THESE SLEEVES ARE FULFILLED RANDOMLY AND SPECIFIC COLOURS ARE NOT ABLE TO BE ORDERED. Once the Limited Edition sleeves have sold out, the cover design will revert to a standard cover which matches the accompanying DVD release. -

John Mills brings a stoic intensity to the role of Professor Bernard Quatermass in this key piece of British dystopian fiction from visionary writer Nigel Kneale. Unsettling in its vision of a crumbling society coming under alien attack, Quatermass is directed with characteristic style by BAFTA winner Piers Haggard and features the high production values associated with Euston Films. Shot on 35mm, the original negatives have been used for this stunning, brand-new High Definition restoration – a new 5.1 mix from original triple-track audio elements is also presented here alongside the original mono soundtrack.

Bernard Quatermass, former head of the British Rocket Group, lives in seclusion in western Scotland, watching in appalled silence as Britain slowly turns into a vision of violence, gang rule and governmental collapse. A desperate search for his missing granddaughter plunges him into a terrifying situation when he comes to realise that the mass disappearance of thousands of youths is nothing less than the culling of the human species by an unknown alien intelligence...

Special Features:
[] Brand-new 5.1 mix for episodic version
[] Brand-new HD restoration of The Quatermass Conclusion in its original theatrical aspect ratio
[] Music-only tracks for all four episodes
[] Episode recaps
[] Textless titles
[] Image Gallery
[] Booklet by archive TV historian Andrew Pixley

They were a while ago. However once they got the ITV deal renewed they stopped.

Actually the suggestion part of that statement might well have been Odeon, not Network.
