Notes |
-
The Fiction Makers is a feature-length movie compiled

-
Other format releases: Betamax
(BITC 2068) and Philips V2000 (CRITC 2068).
-
Precision Video was the video
label of the Associated Communications Comporation, which also
owned ITC. It was launched in 1979 to take advantage of the
nascent home video rental and retail market. At that time, three
video formats - JVC's VHS (Video Home System), Sony's Betamax
and Philips' Video 2000 - were fighting to become the
pre-eminent home video system, a battle ultimately won by VHS.
Precision Video, however, hedged their bets and released many
titles in each of the formats and also occasionally experimented
with the Laservision disc format.
-
Precision Video releases were
uniquely packaged in hard plastic cases,
essentially audio cassette 'MusiCassette' cases but far larger.
Variations were made to hold each of the cassette formats. In
common with audio cassettes, these releases features
double-sided inlay cards, the reverse sides of which contained
cast and production credits and advertisements for other
Precision Video titles.

Notes |
-
Channel 5 Video was named so
as to suggest an alternative viewing programme over and above
the four terrestrial broadcasters then operating in the United
Kingdom - BBC1, BBC2, ITV and Channel 4. Channel 5 Video was a
sub-label of Heron/PolyGram. A fifth British TV channel,
coincidentally also monikered Channel 5, was finally launched on
30th March 1997 and had no connection with the by then long
defunct video label.

The Saint
Plays with Fire • The House on Dragon's Rock |
Notes |
-
Both the volume numbering and the
30th anniversary branding was dropped from the Saint VHS
range, starting with this second release.
-
From this point on, each episode
would be preceded by 'Episode One' or 'Episode Two' on the back
cover of these ITC Home Entertainment Group releases, a decision
which was slightly disconcerting for anyone who thought that
they were experiencing déja vu with each successive release. Of
course, the
numbering pertained to the episodes' position on the cassette,
rather than their position in the series.
-
The episodes were billed on the
front cover and spine with The House on Dragon's Rock prominent
over its monochrome partner, but were shown on the back cover
and cassette in the reverse order.

The Better
Mousetrap • The King of the Beggars |
Notes |
-
This was the final video cassette
of The Saint issued in ITC
Entertainment Group Ltd packaging. The cover made no
mention of the company's new owners, the Netherlands-based
record company PolyGram, who had bought out ITC in January 1995.
The sale price was reputedly £100 million. Unfortunately, ITC
Home Video was seen as collateral damage and closed with job
losses since PolyGram had a pre-existing video arm of their own. The Saint: The
Better Mousetrap / The King of the Beggars (ITC 1045) was one of the last two VHS
releases issued under the ITC name, the other being
Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased): Volume Ten (ITC 1920)
which was made available on the same day.
