Anyone know without doubt, what the running time of NTNON is?
Different everywhere, from 98 min to 200 min.

If they`re anything like the other batches of `great comedy` dvd`s the BBC have released they`ll be extra free. The Region 1 version of The Young Ones is a 3 disc set, with all 12 episodes, an episode each of Bottom and Filthy, Rich & Catflap and a couple of featurettes. They`ve also recently got a 18 episode DVD of Bottom.

Not to mention the fact that they are getting a complete series 1-3 of Only Fools And Horses! With specials from each season and learn the lingo with del and rodders!. Also documentaries........WTF, does this mean they will get series 4-7 and all specials with that too?
This clearly isn`t right that we the british tv licence payer should be fobbed off with the lesser product.

We are having to wait an eternity for these to be released in their entirety. I for one have boycotted all of the specials in the hope they release a boxset of all specials.

The specials should be included as extras on each of the series dvd`s , not on thier own for 20 quid each ??

The BBC stuff is distributed by Warner over there, hence the better treatment.

Oddly enough, the BBC are quite happy to churn out lavish, extra-packed DVDs of things like Dr Who - they just don`t seem to bother when it comes to comedy.

They`ve done a good job with Red Dwarf & The Office though. Odd Bunch
