holy crap, that's a huge price for audio only. Where did they pull that number out of? Yikes!

Hmm, culture clash I thought it was pretty cheap compared to what audios usually cost.

These are just repackaged re-releases?

These are just repackaged re-releases?

They have been remastered, come with interviews with William Russell, Carole Ann Ford and Maureen O'Brien and pdf scans of the original TV camera scripts for all 25 episodes.

I think the old releases were just the audio, and were not great quality.

These are not new audios. They are re-releases in a box set, at an outrageous price. And considering that this is but pure profit for the BBC, I think it's way way way too expensive. The price Amazon is charging now should be the MSRP, and it should retail for half that, at most.

You'd get the odd extra on the old releases, including interviews with the ppl you mentioned...

I agree, but the cost of audios in the uk is stupidly expensive.

It would be nice if they would use the audio + original shooting scripts to make animated versions ala the Invasion.

Even 70 pounds seems a perfectly reasonable cost for twelve CDs! In American dollars, that's less than $9 per CD.

The US will also get this boxset, I see.
