Pre-ordered!

Great news, we seem to have waited forever for this! Although it would have been nice to see Damien's name alongside that of Fay Ripley rather than James Murray.

Paddy's Day - me, Baileys, Damien DVDs! Sorted (after Irish mass and dance session)!

At last indeed!

Just to remind our US forumers that Series 3 and 4 are already available on DVD via Acorn TV / Amazon.com in the US (region 1), with series 5 released 7 March. (ahead of the UK and the Amazon listing has Damien's name!).. info here

 

Sounds like the perfect way to spend Paddy's day Ellie!

Damien's name is not mentioned at the top but he at least is in the product details  along with Clare-Hope and Lenora.. only poor Perry gets left out :/ 

 

 

We've waited forever to add series 3 to our DVD collections Rosie, this boxset of all three series and 4 discs is a delightful surprise!

Cannot wait to see the cover art... wonder if it will be like the US ones?

Oh my god FINALLY!!!!!! So happy to hear this, I can't wait to finally have this!

I was almost giving up hope too but it seems that now I can finally add these to my collection! :)

Under a month until this dvd box set is released! Time for a forum countdown?

Fifi, much as extras on a Suspects DVD would be AMAZING, it seems unlikely (Do hope I'm wrong!). Series 4 and 5 are only four eps, series 5 has six so maybe that is split between 2 discs? Perhaps the series 5 lineup is on the cover to represent the up to dateness / newness of the dvd and that it include S5 - maybe the other series will appear on the back cover! Not that I have given these things much thought.. at all..

 

Just had email from Amazon - my copy has been despatched, will arrive tomorrow! Yay! 😆

I've just finished watching series 3, and it made me realise how gritty and realistic Suspects is, surely in the forefront of crime drama. I have missed it!

Oddly enough, I also realised I much preferred the format of series 1-4. Don't get me wrong, I loved series 5, it was strong, emotional - but I did find myself picking out flaws and I have always been too enthralled by the other series to do that; I also missed the 'fly on the wall' feeling, it was much more of a standard crime drama and I didn't get the edge-of-my-seat, totally involved feeling.

I was a bit miffed that James Murray's role was given as second featuring star on the back cover and before Damien on the cast list; he was only in it for the one series. He must have a really good publicist.

All in all, I am content - I now have the whole of Suspects on dvd and can watch whenever I want. Nice to get a refund from Amazon as the price has gone down, too. Just wish the dvd was also available to download and in blu-ray, but I suppose you can't have everything.

I'm hoping that there is a series 6 and that Damien is in it; also that it returns to the old format.

 

Very happy to be adding a whole three series of arresting drama to my collection!

Here is a little look at the DVD

 

 

 

I do love the SUSPECTS logo on the discs too

Yeah....I'm surprised - and tbh quite disappointed - to see that the s5 cast are on the back cover as well as the front. Poor Martha - how soon they forget!! She wasn't my favourite character, but it seems very unfair considering she was in all of s3 and 4....and a main plot point in s5!

I guess it's time for a rewatch!!!
