Note those that previously purchased Series one the Network Blu-ray that was released in 2012
The 2025 50th Anniversary release of series one from Old Gold Media is a new remaster
Also as some of you might have known network had previouisly planned to do Series 2/3/4 but later decided to cancel the releases as the restoration had not yet been done on series 2/3/4
The good new series 2/3/4 will now be getting a release after all from Old Gold Media and will be remastered the release date details for series 2/3/4 yet to be announced
The restoration for series 2/3/4 was only just completed in 2025 and they also done a new remaster for series 1 in 2025
They done both 4:3 and 16.9 remastered versions
The Blu-ray releases for series 2/3/4 it's yet to be decided if they will include both 4:3/16:9 versions but defenitaly will have the 4:3 version

The new 16/9 masters are for streaming and broadcast only. Physical media will be the proper 4/3 versions only. No 16/9.
You're Looking forward to it?!!... pffft, I think I'm going to wet myself!! Yeeeeharrrrr!!
Great pressing. Can't wait for season 2 in September and then Blake's 7 season 2 the month after... Fun viewing ahead.
Proud to have worked on the packaging and artwork for this release! Working on Series Two as we speak!

Have you left universal and work for old gold media now
Does universal pictures have a connection to Old Gold Media I was not aware about
I work for Spirit Entertainment now who look after physical releases for Universal and OGM amongst other labels. This was my first project for Spirit
