What I really want (and I'm sure most of you agree) is the Chronicles restored to their original format. In the case of the longer telemovies (Curse of the Jackal), keep them as they are. For things like Palestine, 1917... which was turned from a great 50 minute episode into an awful 1 1/2 hour travesty, back in its original form please.
Then, let's say Volume 1 of the DVD releases has 5 discs. On each of the first 4 discs, have 1 Corey Carrier adventure, and 2 Sean Patrick Flannerys. Put these in relatively chronological order. Then have all the supplementary documentaries on the 5th DVD.
So the first volume would be something like this:
Disc 1:
The Curse of the Jackal (Egypt 1908, Mexico 1916)
Princeton 1916 (alittle trouble with this one, given it's 'before' Mexico - but still, it's better than chopping up Curse of the Jackal like the 'Adventures' did)
Disc 2:
Morocco 1908
Ireland 1916
London 1916
Disc 3:
Paris 1908
The Somme, 1916
Germany, 1916
Disc 4:
Kenya, 1909
Paris, 1916
Verdun, 1916
Disc 5:
All the Historical and making of documentaries (if these can't be fitted onto the others).
-------
Continue like this for the other 2 volumes, and if they run out of Corey Carriers... just put 3 SPF episodes per DVD.
Probably a pipe dream, but I think that's the best way to do it - rather than completely chronological, because then after Curse of the Jackal you'll be waiting 'til the next Volume to see Flannery again.
Or... they could put them on DVD in the same jumbled order as they first aired, that'd be great too.
Any suggestions? What are your hopes for the official DVD release?
