to the database.
Somewhat unexpected, but very welcome
indeed, is a DVD release of G.F. Newman's controversial 1978 BBC police
drama series
Law
And Order, due next week.
Thanks again to the Incoming
team: Barry, Ben, Ceri and Graves for updating the database.
Listings for the
Doctor Who - The Complete Fourth Series box set have appeared at

The numbers are durations, in minutes,
seconds and frames.
Additionally, Part One of the story
was certificated twice by the BBFC (a week apart), suggesting that the
version of the episode that exists without music will also be featured on
the disc, which now has a tentative release date of June the 2nd.
The 'Coming Soon To DVD' trailer is for the
1977 Tom Baker story
The Invisible Enemy (which
introduced metal mutt K9) and the 1981 spin-off adventure K9 and
Company (which starred Elisabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith)
A ten-minute clip promoting the forthcoming
DVD release of
Absolutely: Everything! box set can be found
here. Warning: features gratuitous Jo Brand.
The DVD release of Bandit Queen has
been moved back because the film is getting a theatrical re-release at
London's Ritzy Picturehouse, from April 25th. The DVD will now be released
on May the 5th.
