In a high-definition sampling of cult television from years past, Network have announced the upcoming release of three Blu-ray discs entitled retro-ACTION!, each containing single episodes from a number of iconic programmes from the ITC library.

The programmes contained on these discs have rarely, if ever, been seen at their full technical potential and certainly not on the medium they were originally designed for. It is the legacy of both producers and contributors who aspired to high production values but only now can their work be fully appreciated. These new high definition transfers and restorations from the original 35mm elements herald a new era for these iconic shows for both loyal fans and new audiences.
