Dr. Bapswent Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Does anyone know if Supreme Sacrifice has been released on dvd? as I would like to send a copy to my brother in New Zealand. I have a DVD copy from the TV if you want a copy of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surrey Jambo Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 The company responsible for it is http://www.rdfrights.com/Programme.aspx?id=2635 I called them on Thursday but was told they don't sell to individual members of the public. Maybe a concerted effort by club or supporters might be different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaskedMagician Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Anyone know if it will be shown on the BBC again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Alexander Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Does anyone know if Supreme Sacrifice has been released on dvd? as I would like to send a copy to my brother in New Zealand. I keep getting asked about this. It's not available as a DVD, but I think that it should be. The only way this will happen is if there's a concerted effort by HMFC supporters (and other interested folks) to write BBC Scotland and the publishing department of RDF Media. I doubt that will happen! I wish it could simply be published 'on merit' but in the real world it's about convincing them that they'll make money from the release.

piltonjambo Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Just sent an email to their Head of sales asking about this ... I trust we will all do likewise ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
portobellojambo1 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Just sent an email to their Head of sales asking about this ...I trust we will all do likewise ... I thought the Head of Sales might have to report to someone else, so I thought feck it, and contacted the MD direct a few days back, and am awaiting a reply (I do know he has read my email), Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meadows Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 i would buy it, and another 50 to distribute to local primary schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Alexander Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 i would buy it, and another 50 to distribute to local primary schools. That's one of the main reasons I think it should be released. It's a superb means of interesting young folk in the subject of the Great War - and also in the reasons why the act of Remembrance remains so important.

makateer Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 It's on Mininova along with the Romanov documentary. It's on mininova but there are no seeders for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Fredrickson Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Jack Alexander - would you happen to have any email addresses that we could contact Re this? I reckon it would be a huge seller as I am sure like me many on here have friends or family "down south" or abroad who have yet to see this masterpiece. If available, I would press for it to be shown in my local schools as it is such an amazing story - the title saying it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Giants Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 i would buy it, and another 50 to distribute to local primary schools. I agree, a truly remarkable tale - throw in some copies of "Last Voices of WW1" too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The link goes straight to the item in their catalogue and has contact details. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Fredrickson Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 See #3. The link goes straight to the item in their catalogue and has contact details. Good luck. Email sent. I have also asked what the minimum expected sales required would be for a DVD release as I imagine if we had a target, we could canvass interest parties and provide the stats to the publishers.

portobellojambo1 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Thought I would pull this up to the top again. I contacted the Managing Director at RPD to discuss the possibility of getting this programme on DVD. I received a prompt and very polite response from The Director of Publishing indicating that they had no plans to do so at this time, but as a follow up to something else I suggested within my email they said they would be delighted to discuss the licensing rights with HMFC. I forwarded the email onto a contact at Tynecastle, asking them what they thought. They thought it was a good idea, but indicated it had been referred to the Head Buyer at the club, and they would have to take certain things into consideration before deciding if it was something they would pursue (costs, sales potential etc) So no definite yes, but no definite no from HMFC, but they are looking into it.

If Hearts were to buy the rights to it and release it I reckon it would probably be our best selling DVD. I also got a prompt response to my email, stating that they are not in a position to sell the programme as a DVD - so maybe putting on pressure on our club is the way forward.
