My experience is similar to yours. I remember it being on an NBC "Saturday
Night at the Movies" WAAAAY back when. I watched it because I'd been a big
fan of Thinnes in the INVADERS and hadn't seen or heard of UFO yet. I
rememebr the "impotent" comment as well but the BCP's and "catting around"
went over my head. I'll have to track down that DVD as well.

Any SHADO operatives here have any leads or suggestions on where to get
either the UK or US release
and which would be the better choice?

Bill:

With all the discussion, I started to scout for this again on DVD.

It's been out of print for a while and no one is stocking it anymore.

You can fairly easily find the VHS.

I happened to luck out and find a DVD copy at my local library. I have it on
hold and expect it soon.

ps: info is for US version

Yes, and here is the link:

but it's rather expensive: at least $ 39.00!! (used).
Pfffff... I feel lucky that I've payed $ 16.99 at www.amazon.com !
Seems that it became a collector's edition meanwhile :-/

Jim (and others on the same quest):

If you strike out at Best Buy check out Sam Goody's (where I found my DVD
copy).

Hi folks -

Last night, Anthony and I were discussing the availability of "Journey to
the Far Side of the Sun" on DVD, whilst chatting, we performed an Internet
search for outlets that might carry it. We ran into quite a few dead ends.
There were outlets such as Best Buy that had it on their files, but had the
availability listed with irritating terms like "unavailable", "no longer
taking orders for the item" and so on. If you do manage to find it on the
shelves somewhere - GRAB IT! I found an article that stated that Universal
was suing Image Entertainment over the low pricing of its DVD releases of
Universal titles. For those that want to read the article, here is the
link: http://dvd.ign.com/news/33158.html

Image Entertainment is basically discontinuing any Universal titles it was
carrying and "Journey" is on that list. I know that they do have it listed
on Amazon.com for 39.90 or so for a used copy and 43-something for a new
copy. Unless you can find it on eBay or at your local video store, it looks
like finding it on DVD may be a tough bit indeed. The VHS tape version of
"Journey" is in a very large supply and is quite cheap from as low as 7.99
or so. I do know that Netflix.com does have the DVD listed in their library
and you can rent it from them if you must see it on DVD.

I hope this helps a bit...

All the best,
Bryan

I'm trying to catch up on my lists!

So, here is a lot of more or less related things I had to know or comment
about.

1- I got the DVD 'Journey on the far side of wherever' on E-bay! I just
watched the first part where a certain guy we all know appears. But I
watched it a lotsa times, so, it must compensate for the rest of the film's
length! ;-)

2-The TF1 set: sounds interesting! Even if the colors are darker than the 2
other sets. I was wondering if they were using the dubbing made over here in
Québec and, listening to the short file where we hear Straker and Foster
talking (before the Lake bit) it seems they did!
8-)

Is there any info about this on the DVD, Marc? Is Léo Illial's cited
somewhere?

I think I should get it if only to get the Billington-Bishop scene James G.
was tawking about! LOL! *I* found it funny!
<giggle>

3-The smoking issue. Someone mentioned with a kind of surprised terror the
fact that everybody was smoking everywhere. So? This total intolerance to
smoking we now know is fairly new. I remember the 80's where you not only
could smoke anywhere you wanted, it was kinda expected that you would! It
was socially acceptable and smoking cigars was even considered high class. I
did smoke cigar in college and <cough> pipe in university. (Hey! A gal's got
to stand out. And no, it was not anything stupefying in it: just nice custom
made tobacco smelling of raspberry. And I couldn't inhale the stuff, so it
was all for show
;-).
Ah! the good old times! Anyway, I have no problem with those characters
smoking like chimneys! It was the norm at the time.

4-Someone mentioned some new nice toys getting out in Japan soon? I would
appreciate if you would post information when it becomes available. Thank
you, whoever you were!
:-)

I think that's about it!

:-D

They are quite often popping up on eBay.
I bought a region1 copy (new and sealed) for US$15 about a month or so ago.
