£56.99 down from RRP of £79.99 ??? They're having a laugh.
The whole series 1-6 boxed set was £200 on first release and dropped to £125 or so pretty quickly - it's £98 on Amazon at the moment.

Kind of amazing we finally have our wish. Although I love the way they say it is complete series 4. hardly complete. Seems like a way to milk the audience by charging large amounts for each series rather than 1 price for the whole set. Well we never thought the day would come so this is a welcome surprise. Just drop the price. Sale price of 56GBP is gouging.

There's no mention regarding the inclusion of the extras that were on the DVD sets and I agree that StudioCanal are out to make as much as they can and from that point of view I cannot see myself paying out for something I already have.

no extras? and for that price. It is a wonder they think they can make a profit at that price.

Back in the videotape days of the 1990s, you'd pay that for ten episodes, easily. In "wonderful" unrestored VHS "quality".

If it's proper, 1080p versions of S4 of The Avengers, then yes, I probably will.

The videotaped episodes can't be remastered in HD so there can't be a "complete" set like there was on DVD.

And for many people I suspect The Avengers still means Mrs Peel so I'm not sure a set with all of the Emma Peel and Tara King episodes in it would appeal to everyone.

Season 5 now listed for US Blu-Ray from A&E. I wonder if these will be the Optimum transfers?
