Australian DVD Update

tk0671
Thanks Rob,

I'm impressed by the information you've supplied.

Could you please provide the full email address of Dominic Rayner,
the Territory Mangager of Carlton, as the email you posted was
abbreviated to dominic.rayner@c...

As I have the full Thunderbirds collection on DVD, I'm
now hoping UFO will be released in the Region 4 Australian
Format. I haven't seen Captain Scarlet on the store shelves in
Australia at the moment, so maybe UFO will fall by the
wayside as well.

Cheers!

Mark

Darwin, Australia

Re: Australian DVD Update

Chris Avis
I sent some email to Simon Wheeler ar Carlton International back in
October last year enquiring
after the Australian DVD release. Below is the response I received from
him. I did not get back
to him as I purchased a multi region DVD Player soon after and decided
that it would be quicker
to get the Region 2 release (Like Marc I usually order Region 2 DVDs
through Blackstar). If
anyone wants to follow up, Simon's email address is:
[hidden email]

By the way, although I have a ".com" email address, I live in Perth,
Western Australia.
