Plans To Release Gerry Anderson Series

[Bayleaf48]

So far we've had 'Thunderbirds', 'Stingray' & 'Captain Scarlet' on D.V.D & video & now there's plans to release 'Joe 90' aswell & possibly others aswell :rolly2:

 

[Bayleaf48]

Any other information PLEASE post it here :rolly2:

I've seen UFO on DVD as well.

 

[Bayleaf48]

Wow! because I haven't :rolly2:

I saw it in Woolworths yesterday, so it must have been out some time.

I just checked Amazon UK. Two boxed sets 'series 1' £43.99 and 'Vol 5-8' £43.99.

I can't find any other series listed. Searches for Gerry Anderson at Amazon just bring up Pamela Anderson in bikini tops.

Guess I'm not looking properly :eek4: :erm: :eek7: :errrr:

Thunderbirds is currently airing on one of the channels here, but they seem to be stuck in a continuous loop, as they have played the whole series three times in a row!

Another channel just finished showing Stingray and Joe 90, but I never liked Joe 90 - too much of a Wesley Crusher type I guess! :dead:

 

[Bayleaf48]

Which one Techno?

 

[Technomage]

Sorry, I'm not sure what you want to know.

 

[Bayleaf48]

Which channel is showing 'Thunderbirds' on a continuous loop

 

[Technomage]

Hehe, thought that was it, I just wanted to be sure.

It is on TV3, a private company now owned by a Canadian company. The other series were on Prime TV, which is another private channel, but this one is Australian owned - we New Zealanders don't own much of our TV network anymore!

 

[Bayleaf48]

So no British channels then? :erm: :crying: :errrr: :crying:

 

[Technomage]

Sorry, you'll just have to move to Middle Earth (aka New Zealand).

 

[Bayleaf48]

Tat's not fair! :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:

 

[Technomage]

Don't be too upset, the UK got all the Star Trek series long before we did, and I bet you have had other shows that we have never had - that's the problem with living in a country of only 4 million people, the sci-fi audience just isn't big enough for the channels to care about!

 

[Bayleaf48]

Then it's unfair on you Techno!

 

[Technomage]

Indeed, however we only had to wait about three months longer than you guys to see Enterprise, that's never happened before. But that Prime outfit I told you about wanted to make a good impression and so they snatched the series away from the big networks and played it as soon as they could.

 

[Bayleaf48]

Any way, back to the topic

There's rumours flying about of plans to release as many of his series as possible on video & D.V.D when ever possible

 

[Technomage]

I remember that the videos of UFO and Space1999 used to be available in the UK back in the mid '90's, as a friend of mine got some sent out.

Unfortunately the 'fashions' worn in UFO are rather embarrassing when you see them now - very 'Seventies'! :dead:

Wher I work has still got the 'U.F.O' videos
