Region 2
A 104m compilation version - presumably intended for overseas sale - was released on PAL VHS by The Video Collection in 1985. More recently the same version appeared as a Daily Mail freebie DVD in the "Action Thrillers" series.

An even shorter 96m compilation DVD was released in Spain with English soundtrack and Spanish subtitles, under the title Los Hijos De la Gloria. Bizarrely, the cover of one release includes a photograph of Lumley as Purdey in The New Avengers!

Region 1
The original three-episode version was released by HBO in the United States in 2003.

The three-episode version was re-released in a two-disc set with The Contract by Acorn Media in the United States on 25 May 2010.
