Whats up with the Faffner Hall DVD?

My guess is that the other dvds HIT released in the UK did not sell well so they have discarded the releases of Ghost of Faffner Hall & The Animal Show.

From what we got so far from HIT UK, I'm not surprised

Whatever that means...we have to email HIT US and tell them to release "The Ghost of Faffner Hall" & "Jim Henson's Animal Show" on DVD.

They havent given the UK good enough releases for us to buy. I mean why would I buy the first two Fraggle single releases? A 2 Disc set was released with the same episodes not too long ago. There were NO Special Features either.

I would have been happy to have had a copy of the US Disc, Or even the US Disc with the British episodes on with The Captain.

They havent put no work into the releases, And it shows in sales.

This is just speculation on my part, but...might they have chosen the shows they did *because* they've already been out? If they're just testing the market (the market in this case presumably being those folks who didn't manage to get the Columbia release...) then they may want to keep their costs down, and DVD transfers of these shows already exist. In theory HiT would also not have to pay the BBFC to have the shows classified since Columbia have already done it (that said, the first couple of shows were in fact run by the BBFC quite recently on HiT's behalf, so that may not be the reason).

And will the packing be furry as well!

DVDTimes has just put up the Regional 2 artwork but it doesn't have furry packing The artwork is the same as the German release.

Sendit.com has listed "TMS" boxset with the Technical Details :
Certification: PG
Duration: 604 mins
Region: 2

A "PG" rating! does this mean Kermit's line in the "Pitch Reel" will be uncut? and come to think of it will the episodes themselves be uncut?
