Hi Denis,

I checked the Aussie edition of The Danger Makers as you asked. The shot is identical to the Optimum Edition, but happens at 30:30.

On the topic of All Done With Mirrors- the missing 15 minutes of footage IS on the disc! Furthermore, the episode is watchable in full on a computer using VLC player. I'll go into that first- technical explanation to follow. Load up your disc in VLC, and it'll load the DVD menu. Instead of clicking ...

I have good news I wanted to share immediately. Firstly, Stay Tuned, and thus I presume the rest of the film episodes, have the correct pitch. Secondly- there is no difference I can see between the Optimum and Madman editions of Stay Tuned. See below. Stay Tuned Comparison I've spent the rest of the...

Confirmed- All Done With Mirrors jumps straight to the start of Act Two. There's about five frames of artefacting at the beginning of the lighthouse shot, which indicates an authoring or mastering error. I'll email Madman tonight. I'll also be doing the side by side shots tonight on the following ep...

I'm away in Melbourne for a few days, but will investigate these problems when I get home. Has Madman given any statement regarding a replacement? That's 14 minutes of Linda commentary we're missing too!

What's the picture quality like compared to Optimum? I had a Madman set of Dangerman which I'd bought for the extra commentary tracks, intending to replace my ancient A&E set (thinking a new PAL DVD would be better than the older NTSC DVD), but the video was over-compressed and brittle (over-sh...

How strange. Did Baker's estate object? Brian's solo commentaries are present.

Also on here are an Anneke Wills intro for The £50,000 Breakfast!

Hi all! Video shot- will be editing tomorrow. Here's a list of the exclusive extras and their location in the set. Aside from the screenwriters' panel, I don't know whether the listed Avengers at 50 interviews are individuals or groups in each case. I'll be checking the discs over the course of toni...

I have bought a copy of this set- however I can't open it as I might also be getting it for Christmas! I intend, whatever the case, to do an unboxing video for my YouTube channel and Declassified. For anyone ordering from overseas, I recommend joining JB Hifi. They have 20% off DVDs around once a mo...
