OH. MY. GOD. Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for this? For more on the episodes, see Barrington’s Maid Marian Programme Guide - although anyone who went to DJ this year will remember a couple of the eps.
According to DVD Reviewer, we’re even due some extras:
- Commentary on Episode 1 by Tony Robinson - Oh, for a commentary on all six episodes. What an ungrateful bastard I am. I’m still thrilled.
- Quiz: Written by Tony Robinson - Eureka love their quizzes, don’t they? Still, with Tony Robinson involved, it should be fun. But not as much fun as…
- Maid Marian Karaoke - …THIS. No doubt this will be the centrepiece of many a drunken party throughout the land this year. And quite right too.
- Trailer - Please be an original broadcast trailer, not just a pointless one for a Series 2 release.
- How the Germans Saw It - a short compilation of clips, or the Japanese The End? No idea, but should be fun for a limited amount of time.
- An exclusive Booklet: Written by Tony Robinson and drawn by Paul Cemmick - Aceness, as Ian would say. But I just can’t carry that off, so I’ll settle for “good”.
Of course, deleted scenes, outtakes, and all that guff would have been nice, but what’s on offer is more than I would have expected, frankly. And we’re getting one of the best TV shows ever made on DVD - it doesn’t need the children’s qualification. Beautifully written, acted, and produced - and with a feel quite unlike anything else I’ve ever seen. 20th March is the release date - the week before the Region 2 release of Red Dwarf VIII, in fact.
Now, all they have to do is release Woof!, and I’m a happy man…
