VHS video released in the UK by 'The video collection' in 1985. It was a series of tapes which chronicled the first 12 and last two episodes of season 9. These videos were were released due to a dispute between the BBC and the commercial network Thames TV which resulted in the show ceasing transmission from the point of Naldo's shooting in Season 8. In 1985 the company made a deal with international distributors for US production company Lorimar to purchase the upcoming series of the popular US drama Dallas, at that time transmitted on BBC1. This broke a gentlemen's agreement that the two networks had, in which they would not poach each others' imported shows; in this instance, Thames paid $60,000 a show compared, to the $33,000 that their rivals had been paying. The deal was announced in a blaze of publicity and immediately brought condemnation, not just from the BBC but also from other ITV stations who feared the BBC would react by poaching their imports, thus pushing up prices (imported shows being cheaper than home-made productions). The BBC delayed transmission of the episodes of Dallas that they already had, stating they would begin broadcasting them at exactly the same time Thames broadcast their new purchases. Ultimately, pressure from other ITV companies (notably Yorkshire) forced Thames to sell them back to the distributor at an enormous loss, and the status quo was restored. |
