Renown Pictures "VINTAGE SCI-FI COLLECTION - VOLUME 1" is to include DR Cyclops in Castle Films Digest version.
See here:- https://www.renownfilms.co.uk/march-club-specials-c-38/vintage-scifi-collection-volume-1-p-945.html

I know they were showing some Castle Films on Talking Pictures TV, but I don't think they have put them on DVDs before.

Will it be that 200ft edition or the later universal 8 400ft color edition?

When I saw Dr Cyclops on Talking Pictures TV last year, it was less than 10 minutes running time.

I seem to recall it was in colour but I could very well be wrong. Assuming it was from a 16mm print, was the 1 reel version released in colour?
