@jayjlevans2000 @Prof_Quiteamess Dixon ran til 1976 and Z Cars til 1978 so both fit. I've no idea on Z Cars sets though. Softly Softly: Task Force, the Z Cars spin-off, also ran til '76 and could conceivably feature a WPC.

I’m no legal scholar but maybe it’s got something to do with the “raping young boys.”

@IanLevine Got chatting to Dan Hall when he came to Australia back in 2013 who said this was what the DVD range began to struggle with towards the end. So I can believe the Collection team would try to avoid the same. (Not sure how the Season 2 box did but I suspect it was a test case).

@IanLevine There's also a risk of exhausting the more commercial colour seasons so that only the BW seasons remain, which didn't sell nearly as well on DVD. That would make it harder to secure the budget going forward. Lower commercial projections balanced against greater restoration costs.

BBC Studios. Not exactly rushing the next Dr Who box set. Seems they have all lost interest and moved on to other things. Very let down by their horrendously slow schedule - crawling to one a year. Covid gave them an excuse to slow down from 3 a year, but now it's almost 1 a year

@tweeting_keith @IanLevine @Oldmankrondas They've already confirmed the logo will stay the same to ensure consistency across the sets. Apparently RTD specifically asked them not to start mucking about with the brand designs on the Collections.

@IanLevine @Oldmankrondas Am I the only one who is really bothered that the show's main logo has now changed? I'm not sure if I want further box sets to reflect that or to keep the Jodie logo. (Which I do really like.)

Suddenly all of the quaint Xmas and NY traditions I cherish from the north of England seem meh by comparison. First footing? THIS is how you do first footing!

Every year, hundreds of people in Bulgaria don elaborate monster costumes, often with large bells attached, and parade through villages and into people's homes to scare off evil and bring good luck. These "monsters" are called kukeri. The costumes vary from region to region: some are covered in long fur that streams in the wind as the kukeri dance, while others are elaborately embroidered and embellished with beads, glass, and bone, topped off with an equally adorned mask. Many costumes have leather belts with dozens of large bells attached to them. Subtle the kukeri are not. The costumes are designed to scare away evil with their loud clanging and monstrous appearance. Traditionally, these costumes are either inherited or carefully sewn and embellished by the owner. Until recently, all kukeri were men, and in many places, taking part in the kukeri dance was seen as a rite of passage. Often, costumes are passed down from one generation to the next, and new costumes are made by the owner, possibly with help from local craftspeople. While needlework in Bulgaria was considered women's work, the kukeri were an exception: men would work on their costumes throughout the year. Kukeri costumes are incredible pieces of folk art and offer a unique glimpse back in time because the tradition of the kukeri is quite old. In fact, it is so old that we don't know when it started. Some estimates suggest that the kukeri originated more than 4,000 years ago. While they are pagan in origin, the kukeri now appear around important Christian holidays. In some areas of Bulgaria, you can find the kukeri between Christmas and the Epiphany (January 6), and in other areas, the kukeri come the Sunday before Lent. #archaeohistories
