Satellite and cable channel BRAVO began a screening of Joe 90 on November 3rd 2003 which finished - eventually - on January 10th 2004. Sadly, these were not the new 35mm transfers prepared for DVD release, but horrible old 16mm versions with poor colour & sound and covered in dirt & sparkle - just like the Channel 5 VHS releases in the 1980s and the BBC transmissions in the1990s (although at least BRAVO's copies had the original title logo). I can only assume these versions were in BRAVO's archive from a prior showing, and it was cheaper than getting new copies from Carlton. Shame.
BRAVO followed the ITC recommended transmission order as opposed to the original production order. But frankly, the prints were so poor it wasn't even worth setting your video for them. If you haven't got them already, go and buy the DVDs! Last modified 21 January 2004 |
