I missed it, no doubt I'll listen for it when I watch the series again.

I have to say, Saturdays aren't going to be the same for me.  Not always liked everything about it, but at least I know when it goes a bit awry it's keeping kids and normal people happy.

Well, heres hoping for a reasonably priced DVD boxed set as soon as possible. The sooner  they've got the overpriced one shaped like a TARDIS or whatever out of their system the better.

I have to give in to my hate and say I really do hate novelty shaped DVD boxes.  It's a petty hate, but hate it is.  And I'm not apologising to anyone who has a cylon head box set.

"The one exception to my absolute hatred of novelty DVD boxes is the Amicus Boxed Set shaped like a coffin. And that's probably because (a) It's not at a premium price and (b) there isn't a cheaper alternative."

Ahhh... but that box set damages the last DVD in the box, according to my mate who has it.  Tigon collection which I'd like (though I have Witchfinder already) is in that format.  Should have entered the 2000AD comp, but I always forget.

Mine played okay. Haven't really had occasion to play any of them again though, so it could be putting it back in the box buggers it up.

I've got that Amicus set and haven't had any problems (although having subtitles would've been great for a deaffo like me). The thing that tends to put me off getting most of the other coffin-shaped ones are the choice of included films. Most appear to be rather dodgy.

Tigon has Witchfinder and Blood on Satan's Claw, both bonkers, plus the beast in the cellar which is ok.

I've toyed with getting the Tigon one (it's the other two sets that seem dodgy), but like you, I've already got Witchfinder, which is *just* enough to put me off getting it, at least for now.

I've introduced Cait to the Amicus anthology films, which in turn has got her interested in EC comics. My Haunt of Fear collection is her bedside book at the mo. :)

Wils, I don't have Witchfinder and want one. I could buy yours or swap it for something else if you like, freeing you up to buy the box set. You after anything in particular?

'Paul Scott - Personal Shopper' ;)

I may get it at some point, but it's understandably not exactly very high in my list of priorities at the mo. :)
