You wait 28 years for a Babylon DVD release (factoring in the invention of the DVD during that time, of course), and then what happens?

Icon Home Entertainment are releasing a UK DVD of the classic film in October, which is great.

What is really great is that this release will feature “fully restored and remastered image and audio (personally overseen by Chris Menges – Babylon’s Director of Photography) plus Audio Commentaries and Interviews”. These are exactly the sort of things which were missing from the recent Rarovideo release (as was pointed out by Stewart Home in his review for Woofah issue 2).

More information when we have it – updates to the uncarved Babylon subsite will also follow.
