Question[edit]

Hi, I take it that Survival programmes have not been released on a commercial media format? Is that for any reason in particular, other than ITV being rubbish these days? (I'm very surprised Network DVD or somebody haven't released them). Bob talk 14:15, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reply[edit]

Hi Bob, Survival shows were released on video tape for home use in the 1980s and early 1990s. Survival Anglia Ltd. licensed Stylus Video, a division of Stylus Music Ltd., to market one-hour shows under the generic title The World of Survival. The same company also issued VHS tapes of half-hour shows aimed at younger viewers with the title Junior Survival. In the US, Survival titles were marketed on VHS by the Eastman Kodak Company in the 1980s, including the children's series Animals in Action. I'm unaware of any subsequent commercial media format, such as you mention, although library footage has lately become available through ITVWild. --Tomwalshe (talk) 09:43, 30 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
