In the UK? Vegas season 5 DTV

September 28, 2008

That’s right, if you are one of those people in the UK who have been waiting to see the fifth and last season of the US import Las Vegas then you have a choice to make. The cancelled show was not optioned by the local broadcaster Sky when it’s fifth season became available. The good news is that even though the season will not be coming to television screens soon it is coming out on DVD next month. So those wanting to see what happens in the final season need only decide if it’s worth going down to the local DVD store.

The 5th season boxset is out Region 2 on October 13th at £34.99 RRP. It isn’t really fair for those in international territories to be penalised for the ratings failures in another country. However it is good business to not buy a failing show even if you have committed to prior seasons. We can only hope that season 5 will be shown at a later date on more local broadcasters like Ireland’s RTE or TV3, for the UK ITV or Channel 5.
