The two disc BBC release of Maddigan's Quest is barebones but adequate. There are seven episodes on disc 1 and the final six episodes on disc 2. The menu gives you the option of selecting an episode or playing all the episodes, and that is all. There are no subtitles, secondary languages, alternate audio channels (DTS, DD 5.1) or "making of" documentaries. The picture quality is fine throughout. There is a short bumper in front of each episode from episode two on, describing in under 30 seconds what happened previously. The BBC released this DVD fast. The Australasian Region 4 version is supposed to have a release date around November 2006, with extras features, which will probably include a documentary on the filming of this New Zealand film series. Time will tell. For now, the BBC release fills the bill nicely for those who just want to see the entire series.

I should declare my involvement in making this series upfront.
I've received a copy of this DVD set. The BBC weren't involved in its publication - that is all down to 2Entertain. It's a pity about the absence of special features - we weren't asked to supply any. There is no 5.1 mix, because the original programme was mixed in 2.0 stereo.
What I can say about these DVDs is that the picture quality is superb. The show was shot and mastered in HD, and the detail of the show's look (though downconverted to SD) is the best I've seen in Standard Definition. It's also great to see the programme in a 16:9 ration - which is how it was intended to be seen.
The region 4 version will come on 2 disks and will also feature commentaries on two episodes, a 'making of' documentary, interviews with several key creatives and a photo gallery.

The CBBC show shows that the BBC can still create great kids TV the BBC seem to make a good kids show every year this is few years old now and there has been a follow up but other great new shows.
The show is about a travelling cirus and is set either in the furtrue or distant past and the Quest is they must obtain a device to prevent their home city from dying.
If you saw it you will probably understand and this DVd will certainly refesh your memory remember BBC for great kids shows.

If you haven't seen this then I highly recommend it. One of the best Australian productions I've seen. Bought for my daughter who loved it too. The book is worth reading too.
