The Big John, Little John series set that was supposed to come out in October 2009 was initially delayed until April 2010. A few weeks prior to that, the release was postponed indefinitely and TV Shows on DVD reported that the studio intends to release it one way or another at some point.

For those, like myself, who don’t want to wait, the series was released in the UK and Australia last year. As with the Red Hand Gang release, which was released in the UK the year before it was released in the US, the UK DVD is region free, which means it should play on any US DVD player or computer.

I received the UK DVD as a Christmas present and it includes all 13 episodes uncut. Unlike the episodes copied from faded 16 mm prints, these episodes include an episode preview at the beginning of each episode, as well as a preview for the next episode.  The bonus material is pretty small, just an episode guide and a few promotional photos.

Imported copies have shown up on Amazon in the US, but currently, no copies are available. I got my copy from Amazon UK and it only took a few days to ship.
