The Aphrodite Inheritance on DVD

For over thirty years the series remained obstinately unavailable commercially on video or DVD and the best I could manage was a copy collected together from three different sources - a combination of UK Gold broadcasts and some episodes from the original BBC screening, courtesy of Olive Bird (Michael Bird's widow). The tapes were transferred to DVD and they reproduced reasonably well, although UK Gold as usual had cut bits out to make it fit the time slot.

In October 2014 the series was finally released here in the UK by "Simply Media". I suspect Alexandra Bastedo's death earlier in the year had something to with it. The packaging is dreadful, and it runs to just 2 disks, with no extra features, but it was nice to get a complete version.

The price has fluctuated. Curently (August 2019) Amazon are selling it for 12.99.

Given the abysmal cover on the professional release I make no apology for keeping the versions below.

As ever - if you have trouble tracking down a copy drop me an email.

Website visitor Mike Brown kindly designed two alternative, very professional looking, box covers to grace my DVD collection.
