I would think poor sales perhaps, although i do recall some issues with The Sweeney but i can't remember what exactly.

Was it that series one was the only one being remastered again the others were getting an upscaled release so they were pulled.

It didn't sound like it. It seemed like you ordered all the individual releases and they'd send you a box to house them all.

Looking through comments and responses on FB it now appears a complete boxset will be released next October. However if you choose to buy individual volumes then they will as you say provide a Network exclusive sleeve to house them in. They also appear to confirm that these releases are focusing on HD remasters and not extras and as such no extra features are planned.

I was thinking the same thing. Hopefully they'll have one in January instead.

I messaged them on FB last week asking if they had any plans and they pretty much told me to **** off. Pity, given Arrow's poor show this year I would have had a bit more to throw at Network.

They're probably still reeling from their last sale which caused a few headaches.

That's cos there site is so poor amongst other reasons. When they do announce a sale the damn thing crashes for 48 hrs.

So no Christmas sale and looks like no January sale, but I suppose they should improve their website before anymore sales.

Like myself, you don't need anymore Network stuff, Treb.
