Condition: RED

Hi all!

Just received the A&E newsletter....a banner summer for Gerry Anderson fans
to say the least!

The UFO box set description (on the A&E site) has updated "bonus features"
as follows:

"DVD Features include: Commentary by Creator Gerry Anderson on the Premiere
Episode "Identified"; Alternate Video Outtakes; Gerry Anderson
Biography/Filmograhy; Production Stills Photo Gallery; Interactive Menus;
Scene Selection."
So it looks like we'll be getting the same extras (for the most part) as the
UK DVDs.

Also -- for anyone interested, there will be a Space:1999 MegaSet released
in August. Not sure what the extras will be (if any, that is) for this set
as opposed to what has been released. A Thunderbirds MegaSet and Captain
Scarlet box set are being released, too.

Where does it say this? I just checked and it still had
the old list of bonus features...

Good news about the Gerry Anderson commentary and deleted
scenes though!

Check the following URL:

They corrected the listing for "Court Martial", too (it used to just say
"Court").

As far as I remember, the GA commentary for "Identified" was not listed
previously.

Also - refresh your browser to be sure you're not seeing cached stuff. :)

Well, I tried that link on 2 browsers, refreshed the pages, deleted my
cache, and it STILL shows the old version of the page. Bizarre!  

And yes, the Gerry Anderson commentary was not mentioned before.
I also had not heard from the consultant that they had received
this from Carlton. I have heard discussions of additional extras,
but from what you've described, these aren't mentioned on the page...
yet.

Anthony was kind enough to send me the actual
page from the A&E website, since my browser
isn't showing me the latest version (probably
my company has it's own cache at the proxy
server). I noticed that they corrected
the episode order, so that EXPOSED is now
before SURVIVAL. Also, interestingly
enough, they dropped RESPONSBILITY SEAT
and replaced it with CONFETTI CHECK A-OK
(I wonder what the story is there?)

Oh! And A&E's bonus features no longer
lists surround sound! I certainly hope
that's true... I still found it difficult
to believe that Carlton would have made
a 5.1 surround track and then not offered
it as an option on their own DVDs...

Marc

Thanks for the info! I'm very glad to hear about the THUNDERBIRDS megaset. I
knew I was doing the right thing by waiting.
