A dvd release was given a placeholder spot on Amazon during the run of Series 2, yet failed to materialise. Six months after the show finished airing, we asked the bods at @bbccomedy on Twitter what was happening, and they confirmed: “There’s currently no plans to bring Mongrels 2 out on DVD, but it is available on download – for example on iTunes.”
Possibly Play has done the same and had it prepared but have no taken it off the system
Could the production company liaise with another company and get it out onto DVD that way? If 2Entertain aren't going to release... go via Acorn, Contender etc?
Of course - if and when it goes live - there might always be Operation Barcelona...
I REFUSE to have Apple clients buggering up my remote-work machine... and I want to watch the programme on my telly without hassle, dammit! That means a DVD release! Or let me buy it through Blinkbox.
If BArcelona gets off the ground, and there's an access-everything-for-monthly-fee option.. that'll be an OK compromise... but Evans' actions are STUPID!

It was only added last night, i'd signed up to be notified when it became available for Pre-order, and i'd checked the site last week and it had no date before then.

It may have just been automatic though. When they first got the details they put it into the system to activte on that date.
And even though it has been cancelled the entry wasn't removed from the database.
It looks as though Season 2 episodes have just started to be submitted to the British Board of Film Classification for DVD release. I can't see the point of doing that if it isn't going to be released
Mr Bennett really shouldn't have cut this series, comedy shows which prove to be legendary always have an actual streak of humour, which this had in bucketloads and always struggle at the beginning. Look at Only Fools and Horses, Spitting Image etc.
Even now, they are getting messages on their Facebook page diaplying people's dismay - and this is 8 months on!
According to Wikipedia, Zai Bennett started his career in the post room at Carlton Television. He should have stayed there. Another one together with Danny Cohen to line up against the wall come the revolution.
Note to legal department: I don't mean that literally. It's figurative.

About as figurative as the fate of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation's marketing division?
According to the wikipedia page there is supposedly a Blu Ray release of Series 2 in the production line, but how true that is, we will have to wait and see. I'd love to get it, as the difference between the Blu Ray and DVD is quite shocking.
At any rate, I bought the DVD to support them, and in case the BBC only do a limited number of them, and it becomes impossible to obtain. I.e, Farscape.

That's weird, I'm not gonna hold my breath just in case it's some kind of glitch but still. :eek:

Apropos of nothing - I single-framed the "The Coop" trail...
LMAO...

Be nice if Dave decided to try get a third series comissioned but I doubt it'll get enough viewship.
I didn't even know it was on until I just read the EPG - so not exactly publicised.
Just hope they don't butcher them to put ad breaks in!
