CORRESPONDENCE

 

Steven Webberley discusses the possibly of Knightmare being released on DVD.

 

If Knightmare were to be released on DVD, what do you think would be the best way to bring the eight series out? I personally feel that box-sets of two series each, spread across four releases, would probably be the most realistic and viable way to release the complete eight series.

 

I agree with you on that count, Steven. I must say that I’m not sure why any self-respecting releaser of DVDs would think twice about releasing Knightmare. The enormous fanbase created by the website over the past five years is surely the ideal target audience, and I’m sure the DVDs would sell extremely well, regardless of price. Even those of us who have all the series on video would, I’m sure, relish the chance to buy pristine copies on DVD. Correct me if I’m wrong about any of that, readers.

 

Please come back and join me for The Eye Shield issue twenty-eight in July, and start your summer holidays – if you’re having any – on a high note. The address for any correspondence, which is always very gratefully received, is, as ever, eyeshield2002@hotmail.com
