STEVE IRWIN - IRWIN'S MEMORIAL TO WIND UP ON DVD

IRWIN'S MEMORIAL TO WIND UP ON DVD

Funeral services generally don't end up being sold on DVDs, but Steve Irwin's may be an exception. The Sydney Morning Herald reported today (Wednesday) that the Crocodile Hunter's service on Tuesday, which was televised worldwide, is likely to be made available on DVD. Judi Bailey, a spokeswoman for Crocodile Hunter producer John Stainton, who produced the service, told the newspaper, "We've obviously been discussing [a DVD release]." The service featured clips from Irwin's wildlife shows and tributes from a number of celebrities, including actors Russell Crowe and Cameron Diaz. The Herald called it "a slickly produced spectacle, perfectly packaged for television."
