Sandbaggers
 

Does anyone know if there is a Sandbaggers Vol 3 planned for DVD release? I have the first two volumes that present the first 13 episodes, but there are seven more. The collection I have is from BFS Video, but I'm not sure how to contact them.

I already did, they don't have any plans for doing the final eps :( I'm not even sure they own the rights to them (or who does or if the eps even exist anymore :( :( ).

This is disappointing news. I can't remember if my local PBS station ran the whole series or just the same episodes as are on the DVD, but that was at least eight years ago. I may try to contact the production company -- Grenada TV -- I assume they still have the rights.

Good news! BFS has announced a 9/16 release for set #3.

Just found out about this, and it appears a few places are starting to take pre-orders. Thats a positive sign....

I cannot recommend this show (DVD sets) highly enough.

ANY fan of well written political/spy thrillers will love this show. The dialogue is so well written, and the actors are fantastic. The Sandbaggers is kind of the Anti-Bond. It brings the reality of the spy world more into focus.

I am definitely looking forward to the season 3 set (even if seasons 1 & 2 were better).

Oh, and to have some fun with a friend at work who introduced me to The Sandbaggers I call him Sandbagger 3.

Sandbaggers fans should get that reference. ;)

Of course, if you REALLY want to insult someone just call him Peele - or Deputy Chief. :D

I just started an Amazon STL thread for set 3 if anyone is interested...

This is way out of date now I guess, but I have a quick question.

Looking at amazon.co.uk (I bought series 1 from them because they're so much cheaper than the US discs -- about to buy series 2) -- was Series 3 never actually released in the UK on DVD? Is the R1 version the only collection?

thanks.

Season 1 was released in Aug 2005; Season 2 in May 2006, so season 3 is likely to be released late this year or early next year.

The UK generally stagger season releases even for older shows.

Thanks for the update -- I just ended up ordering Season 2 UK and the 3rd season from Amazon UK marketplace (US release, but for the approximate UK price - $20 less than amazon.com). -- the staggering that you mentioned is a little weird given that the US releases have all been out for a few years now.
