Emmerdale New DVD Release

[Canon]

A 7th Emmerdale DVD set is being released in Finland this month.



The set contains another 20 episodes which will bring the episodes up to mid June 1991. The first Finnish DVD set started with Episode 1405 (21st November 1989) - the first appearance of Frank Tate.

They release them at a faster rate than Network do with the Emmerdale Farms.

This is good news because I have all the other sets plus the network dvd sets. Do you know the release date?

 

[Canon]

Do you know the release date?

14th December, I think.

Christmas has come early!

@Canon all you need now is box sets 5 and 6 plus you were right, box set 7 will be released on the 17th of december

@Canonbox set 7 will be released on the 17th of december

And I believe we could have another set by February. Hopefully the next set will contain more than 20 episodes, box sets 5 and 6 contained 30 episodes each so it's a bit disappointing that they've reverted back to just 20. Emmerdale was broadcasting just over a 100 episodes a year in the early 1990s, so they could easily release a whole years worth of episodes across three DVD sets.

I hear what your saying. I hope they continue with more episodes per box set I can wait to get to 1993.

Hopefully, I would love to have all of the Mervyn Watson era on DVD - probably my favourite time for the show outside of the Farm years.

Remind me again who that is. I only really started watching the year of the plane crash. I loving watching these episodes though. the show these days is a far cry from what it was.

Mervyn Watson was the show's producer from 1994 to 1998, what some would consider a rather successful time for Emmerdale.

1990, the first full year as 'Emmerdale' actually had more drama than 1993. The plane crash was more of an isolated disaster.

The Tates already showed that they were the Kings and Whites of their day with dark secrets from the Lord of the Manor's past, staged insurance scams and generally throwing their weight around the village.

woooooo yes you were right. my box set 7 arrived and its great.

 

[soapfan79]

Here's hoping for more.

 

[emm1978]

Been watching some of the Volume 7 boxset this morning, and it's interesting to see that in the space of a couple of years since they dropped the word Farm from the title, the show's farming scenes were rapidly decreasing, but I kept watching as it's a sign of the changing times.

Where would I buy this? Ebay doesnt have the other volumes and I cant understand finland websites.
