OCS DVDs

I guess this comes vaguely under Merchandising, but please feel free to move this if I'm wrong.

I know I'm a little behind in the times, but the DVD boxset of the original/classic series had recently come into my posession. (Okay, I bought it.) I'm sure I'm being really, really thick, but I can't seem to find the 'Play All' option.

Do I really have to get up after each episode to select the next episode? I'm just starting to get comfy when the ep ends and I have to get up and select the next.

The Otherwise Ecstatic Captain Indigo

As far as I recall, there isn't a Play All option. A serious omission, I agree, but one that saved me from taking root on my sofa when I first got the boxset.

Play all? If you do that then you'd miss that fantastic bit of music that plays before you press play for the second time!!

(I think it was from the eisode with the radio station which gets taken over by the Mysterons)?

Yeah there's neat little music when the scene/chapter selection thingy comes up.

That's what I was thinking.

I love my boxset, actually it's technically my brothers, but umm yeah ... I love having a brother

Simply titled "White As Snow" from its episode of the same name, this track is available as an episode version and a commercial stereo version.

Although I have to add this theme is nowhere near as catchy as the Joe 90 theme or Hijacked, from the same series. So there....

Yes I know it was 'White as Snow' now, we just watched it!!

I'd forgotton how funny that episode was. Excellent bit at the end when Colonel White is ranting on about what he is going to do to Captain Scarlet for disobeying orders - "but Sir, I don't think you realise, he is dead.."

"What sort of an excuse is that?"!!

I use my PC to play DVDs, so no, sadly, it doesn't have a remote. I keep thinking about getting a wireless mouse for it...
