The BFI Blu-ray and DVD Release Thread

[Mojo]

I love the Flipside series and have them all, but I thought a couple of the recent releases were a bit underwhelming.
However, this is a nailed - on day one purchase

Short Sharp Shocks (2-disc Blu-ray,,)

Looks like we now have a cover for this release.

Looks good I’ll preorder before it’s released .

Superb.
Mr Humphries?

Hope there's a volume 2. There are a lot of British horror shorts from the seventies and eighties mentioned in Jonathan Rigby's English Gothic that I wouldn't mind seeing just for their curiosity value. Take an Easy Ride especially sounds like a totally inept faux documentary/exploitation/sleaze relic of the seventies that is right in the wheelhouse of the Flipside label.

Have you not seen Take an Easy Ride, Rob?

Surprised as it's out on dvd from Odeon / Screenbound. It also has a pilot show on it called Go Girl starring lovely Luan Peters.

The set includes five plays which have been restored from the original negatives held in the BBC archive.
