THIS IS A PRE-ORDER. STOCK WILL NOT BE SHIPPED UNTIL 15 MAY 2023

One of the most successful television series ever made, The Adventures of Black Beauty's winning mix of charm, period detail and mild peril thrilled viewers the world over – and five decades later it still remains a benchmark production in children's television. The complete series is presented here newly-scanned and remastered from existing film elements for the first time. Featuring scripts by Ted Willis, Richard Carpenter, Victor Pemberton and David Butler, among others, this series guest-starred John Thaw, Geoffrey Bayldon, Peter Bowles, Mike Pratt, Jack Shepherd, Stuart Damon, Lesley Dunlop and Gerald Flood.

Dr James Gordon has moved from London to the country. His two children explore Five Oaks and find an exhausted, wounded horse. They become very attached to the animal as they bring him back to health – so it comes as a shock when his owner tries to reclaim him.

Over two hours of brand-new interviews, including Judi Bowker, Stephen Garlick and director John Reardon

Just ordered six Blu's from the Network sale.

Came to £32.50 so not much different from the Powerhouse sale in terms of value for money.

That Ipcress File Blu is a steal when you see all the extras on it.

The One That Got Away - An excellent prisoner of war film with a difference in which Hardy Kruger plays a German pilot shot down during the Battle of Britain and is sent to a POW camp in Lancashire. Events escalate from there.

The Ipcress File - Classic Michael Caine Cold War thriller on a disc loaded with extras which is rare for Network. I only have this on one of those cheap card cased dvd's given away with a newspaper.

Death Line - British cannibal horror set on the Underground - "Mind the Doors"

The Man in the Iron Mask - Classic tv movie with Richard Chamberlain, Patrick McGoohan and Jenny Agutter. I've not seen this in donkeys years.

Robbery - An upgrade from dvd. Based on the "Great Train Robbery" with Stanley Baker and directed by Bullitt's Peter Yates. I love this one.

Deadlier than the Male - A Bulldog Drummond movie starring Richard Johnson. Elke Sommer and Sylva Koscina play a pair of sexy assassins. Great fun especially for Bond lovers. Like Death line and Robbery this is an upgrade from dvd.

I'd have got the sequel - Some Girls Do - but it was double the price of this.

I could have simply listed the films but i am in a typing mood.

My Network order has shipped.

Put it in on Friday night about 7.30pm so basically it ships next day when you consider the weekend in between.

I'm expecting to arrive on Wednesday.

With them you don't get a shipping notice then have to wait a week for them to actually send it to Royal Mail.

Seeing as i forgot to order A Fistful of Dynamite in the Eureka sale this weekend i'll have another look at the Network sale before it finishes.

Might grab The Night Has Eyes. I really like that one.
