3 DVD set scheduled for August Will include only 3 previously unreleased eps : Clocks Kings & Queens Woodwinds. These sound like they're all probably from series 2. It DOESN'T include "Honey Bees" which was on the Watch With Mother vhs - an episode which everyone loves its all slightly sad as ( in addition to the 6 episodes of the earlier "The Pogles" series )the episode total on this set from Pogles Wood is only 12 - out of the full 26. OP doesn't like them all which is a shame; & having seen Honey Bees which isn't on it as mentioned we are entitled to disagree with him asbout that one at least! ( ie because we have seen it on vhs & can therefore assess it ) At least 8 of the 12 - & quite likely it is as high as 11 of them - are from series 2 ( only Cake Crumbs is definitely from series 1 as far as I can gather )- Maybe almost all of series 1 is not been released because OP doesn't like them because for that series the BBC insisted he withdraw the witch figure from "The Pogles" & introduce an educational element - ie honey making, bread making, the dairy, road building etc Maybe he wasn't happy at being told what to do so specifically by the BBC( ? ) - which is understandable. Its a great shame that series 1 won't be released as I remember them vaguely but fondly - & I know for sure that Honey Bees is an out & out classic! Though I very much look forward to the "new" 3
For series 2 he was given a far freer hand ie the educational element dropped & a concentration on stories instead.
