volume one hits around the end of january, the second in april. i wonder if the uk will get the same dates...

also; it seems as if mk2 have finally got round to securing the 17 deleted scenes, from 'fire walk with me', that lynch has selected to be included on their 2007, two-disc special edition...

Will that be worth the purchase, d-man? As opposed to waiting for a UK release I mean.

i'd wait for the uk release, which should be hot on it's trail...

Wah! Must see! I watched the first series for the first time earlier this year, and by golly is it great stuff! But why does Germany get it first? They've also got the special edition of Sin City while we're still stuck with the vanilla version! Why?!

As I have never seen it, is it worth getting episodes 1-7 or will this just leave me fuming at the fact that the other 23 aren't available yet?

Also, given that the set only contains seven episodes, why does it cost over £25?

Since it appears you will have to wait no longer than six months for series two, I'd say it was well worth investing in series one. You will be frustrated like nothing else until that second box-set, but in the meantime you can enjoy one of the best television series ever made. It also appears you're looking in the wrong place to buy the DVDs - £25 seems excessive and I'm sure I've seen it for less.

Actually £25 seems to be about the going rate. As well as episodes 1-7 you also get the feature-length pilot.

Thanks for reminding me, CB, that I've got to trade in my R1 first season box for R2 - we still don't have a proper release of the pilot.

Just bought Series One - £16.99 but slightly less with a student discount. That was in Virgin.

Popped into HMV on the way home and saw it for £29.99! Blimey!

review of the german set. crutch, get translating...

Good show, good picture, English soundtrack better than the German, no extras.

Yes, that's all that it's saying...

good work...

I'm here to serve.

As in the sound or the music?

And no extras? That's crap. I hope ours is worth the wait.

it'll be exactly the same. apparently, the second volume of the second season will have some extras; rumour has it, it'll be new interviews with the cast...

OK, just watched pilot and first episode... why does Cooper always talk into that dictaphone to 'Diane'. Who is Diane, and how can she hear him down a dictaphone!?

Cooper is fantastic character

Diane is his secretary back at headquarters. Presumably, she can hear him once the tape reaches her desk.

Oh I see. It seemed odd that he would keep talking into a dictaphone

The Second Season has popped up on the US Amazon site. Haven' seen word on a UK release yet.

Just finished Season One!

Glad to see Cooper on the front of the Season 2 DVD because after he got shot in episode 7 I was a little bit upset that he might not be in the rest.

I am guessing then that Leo either was innocent of the murders or there was yet another accomplice. And that the same person bashed Dr Jacobi on the bonce.

This is an excellent show but I'm just bummed out that I will have to wait so long to see the rest

I watched Season 1 again recently and was glad to see it was as good as I remembered, right down to being incredibly scared when Bob first appears at the end of Laura's bed.

It's just incredibly annoying that the ending to the series was spoiled for me by one of those fucking list shows a few years back. I hadn't heard of the series then, so didn't mind too much, but now it really pisses me off. I'd have loved to have watched the show fresh, without knowing the ins and outs.

Even worse is the later one where Donna and James leave Maddy alone in the living room, and she sees Bob slowly emerge from the foyer and climb over the sofa at her. Jesus, that freaked me out.

Lynch and Frost really knew how to make relatively uncreepy things scary as hell. The one from the first series is only about two seconds long yet I find it utterly terrifying. Even when they reshow it on the ''previously on Twin Peaks'' bits it still sends a shiver down my spine.

bloody hell...

america, canada, australia, germany, france and holland all have release dates for season two. seems as if america is getting it in one big box, whilst it's split in two for everyone else...

no uk date yet...

hurry the fuck up! I've waited like a million years.

Paramount are putting out S2 in Region 1?!

Holy shit. They love me. *rubs hands together fiendishly*

It came out at the beginning of the month in the USA at least - I bought a copy for a friend as a surprise present and it arrived today. Got stung for £12 import duty though.

still no sign of the uk release though...

So I am about to start season 1 and my buddy told me not to bother watching the Pilot because it gives a bit of the series away. Sometimes he is full of shit about stuff like this, what do you say? No spoilers of course, please.

Depends on if you're watching the pilot proper or the ''European'' Pilot. The European Pilot is the version which was made in case the series bombed and they could just release the first episode as a movie. This version includes a lengthy dream sequence at the end and a rushed ending, but as far as I'm aware doesn't come with the Season 1 boxset, so you should only have the proper pilot.

It doesn't give anything away unless you've already seen the whole series and therefore can look back on it and spot things that recur in other episodes. Other than that it sets things up for the rest of the series. If you don't watch it then you'll have no idea what is going on.

I bought the region two version, so is this the proper pilot, or the European one?

That's the proper one too.

Cheers, guys. Will start watching it tonight.

I am glad I watched the pilot first. The show is itself is confusing enough. I don't know how anybody understood the show without first watching the pilot.

We need S2R2!!! Good God! Those drippy Americans are far less deserving than we!!

I caved an bought the Region 1 boxset in New York. Ooh mama!

I intend to do that when I go to Florida next month. I just can't wait any longer!

Hee. The episode of SNL that Kyle MacLachlan hosted waaaay back in the day was pretty fantastic overall.... and this sketch was brilliant:

I'm very slowly working through Season 2. The end of the first episode is genuinely chilling, I was quite freaked out. It's also interesting to note just how early Wyndham Earle was mentioned...

I've GOT to get a copy of season 1 & season 2, I haven't seen TP since it ws on back in the 90s. Classic stuff, I remember.

I do re-read the Secret Diary Of Dale Cooper every so often though, and it's wicked. Written by Scott Frost, Mark's son.

Are you sure it's not Laura Palmer's Secret Diary, by David Lynch's daughter, Jennifer?

Did you pick a copy up in NY in the end?

Yuh-huh. It was good value.

Still no news of a UK release? I want me some cherry pie!

Aren't both of them in existence? I know that they made quite a few supplementary texts at the time the series was made.

Not as far as I know. See here:

Twin Peaks Books

Ah, the diary. I could never figure out if the story about the older boys at the lake was something she was given to write about, or if she came up with it and they lifted it for the series. (Donna starts telling the story to Harold at one point.)

So, are the features on the R2 season one box the same as the US one? (The Twin Peaks directory, all the great nonsensical interviews, etc.)? I'd like to trade up for S1 plus the pilot, but if it has fewer features I'd just as soon keep my R1 box, which even on Half.com is expensive as it's out of print now. Just trying to figure out if I could land it cheaper than it would cost to (finally) pick up the Hong Kong pilot disc.

Did you watch the Jennifer Lynch interview on the R1 box yet?

She was given a rough outline of things and people she must include, but had free reign to write the rest. Two of the stories are apparently things which actually happened to her - the one she was prepared to admit being the dream about eating her own foot off.

Is it wrong to fancy her a bit? I mean, she's David Lynch with tits...


There are lots of interviews - I'll check the rest and let you know (or you could look it up on Amazon or something)

On the Season Two box? I don't think I did - I watched a couple of them, but I was annoyed about the lack of goods. Must go back and watch that one...



I don't see why not. If you can get past the fact that she inflicted Boxing Helena upon the world...

Ooops, my mistake... it's the Secret Tapes of Dale Cooper, or something like that. It's definitely the Dale Cooper one though. I never really liked the Laura Palmer one.

Dale Cooper Book Thing = classic, nonethless.

Mmmmmm
