Gerry Interview - "Loose Ends"

There's a brief interview with Gerry on the BBC program "Loose Ends",
available online now (for the next few days):
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/programmes/genres/comedy

Gerry's segment starts at 35:49. He's plugging the DVD release of Fireball
XLV. He mainly discusses the Supermarionation days, but briefly mentions the
new UFO movie. There's nothing here which you haven't heard before. I could
precis it as:

Puppets: BAD
Lew Grade: GOOD
Rolls Royce: GOOD

I always find it quite sad that Gerry never seems to appreciate what he
accomplished with his puppet shows, or how much they are still valued by
those of us who were children at the time.

I found it good to listen too :) Just one question, I already have Fireball XL5 on DVD, 5 DVD box set. Is this another season? or just a remastering??
