ITC series including Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) have a long
history of physical home entertainment releases on VHS, DVD and Blu-ray, as
well as soundtrack releases on audio formats such as vinyl records,
audio cassette and compact disc.
In this
section, we focus - as you would expect - on Randall and Hopkirk releases
ranging from the earliest VHS home video cassettes
right up to the magnificent Blu-ray release of the
series, whilst also turning an ear to Edwin Astley's
evocative, brilliant musical compositions on vinyl and CD.
However, that's not the end of it, not by a long
chalk! In this section - essentially a 100-page website in
itself, nestled within Randall and Hopkirk
(Declassified) - we also present the same level of
information for 24 of Jeff, Marty
and Jean's ITC film-series stablemates that loosely
operate in the same genre.

One thing to bear in mind is that our focus is
exclusively on British releases. This isn't because
Randall and Hopkirk (Declassified) is insular or
dismissive of what has been issued elsewhere in the
world - far from it judging from our shelves! - but rather it is a gargantuan
task to document just the British merchandise and
the section had to be kept to a manageable size. We
might occasionally allude to international versions
and present peeks at foreign covers, but
essentially, the criteria is that if an item wasn't
published in the United Kingdom it doesn't feature.
Apologies if this is disappointing but life is too
short and you should definitely find much here to
jog many a nostalgic memory and perhaps make you wonder how you
managed to miss so much...
Please click on the series logos to access the pages
in this section, which are further subdivided into
delivery formats (i.e. VHS, DVD, etc), accessible by
clicking the format icons beneath each series title.
The series icons link primarily to the VHS pages,
though obviously for series without VHS releases,
they won't!
Additionally, as an extra-special treat, there are
two additional sections:
Multi-Series Releases, where you will find
those instances where episodes of more than one
series were issued together, for instance ITC
Video's Classic TV Heaven range; and
TV Themes
Collections, where VHS, vinyl record, audio
cassette and CD releases of TV theme compilations
are recorded - as long as they have at least one ITC
theme included. This latter section is a huge
rabbit-hole of a section, so please forgive it not
being totally comprehensive.
If you spot something missing from any of the pages, please
Contact Us if you can help, correct
something, scan a cover (600dpi preferred) or just wish to send a
comment.
Finally, this section would not have been possible
without the sterling support and hard work of so
many people, whose names appear below. Thank you all.
