WHEN will the masters be put on DVD?

I have to say I agree with the previous comment entirely. (I've got 'How Do You Want Me and think it's a masterpiece although Charlotte sadly doesn't look her normal self, which is understandable) The big problem is though; why can't we still see all these Thames gems. Hopefully one day Network could make these available as they're doing a brilliant job with other old Thames programmes. I just hope the originals still exist. At least all the Worwel Gummidges are available-my kids love 'em and they bring back great memories for me too. Did you know her sister is frequently in Tracy Beaker (Kam) and appeared in Bottom many years ago in one 'ep?
