I don't see any difference between the one and the other, accept that the one has a bit lighter colours than the other. But does that mean the quality is worse or better when it comes to eg resolution?
And I wouldn't mind for French subtitles, although I prefer Dutch subtitles. French dubbing, however, would be awful. But with French subtitles and original English audio, I and my parents could both watch it.

It would be interesting to know the sales of The Persuaders Blu-ray recently released. I think restoration of a New Avengers set could look the most spectacular of all.

I think with Joanna Lumley's profile it would sell really well too. I don't know why Optimum/StudioCanal haven't released a New Avengers set.

Ah the thought of the New Avengers properly restored makes me dribble.

Those episodes would look stunning. There's a few episodes that I watch and admire the visuals and think what would that look like all cleaned up and fresh...

Hopefully one day it will stop being a dream.

I'm sure it will happen. And you know Joanna would be happy to promote it to the hilt. She's always been a wonderful ambassador for the show.

The last TNA release with the Gareth/Clemens commentaries was an Optimum release, but it wasn't cleaned up. It'd be lovely if Joanna did a commentary the next time around. Would have been even lovelier to have a Gareth/Joanna commentary, but that's impossible now.

After buying all 5 of The Avengers remastered box sets and being very impressed ( I waited for the corrected ones!), I would now love to see TNA remastered. Can I ask, what is the picture quality like on the existing box set? I imagine I'd be better off waiting until it has been restored. What can we fans do to persuade Canal to remaster it? Maybe if we all email them en masse!

Very interesting! I haven't watched TNA in awhile, but these do look brighter than I remember. I dearly wish we would get a proper, restored TNA set, with a full set of extras. Let's hope someone will follow your lead.

I have the A&E US Region 1 DVD sets of The New Avengers. They are ok in terms of sound and picture.

I would be interested in a remastered DVD or blu ray set for sure.

Same as the Professionals. These need to be redone in HD. Full frame scanning will allow to produced 16/9 friendly versions
