Yes, the Carlton UFO DVDs are region-free, so as long as you have
a setup that can play/display PAL, you can watch these videos.
For a while there the limited edition UFO boxes were quite cheap
(~20 pounds each), but I think the price has gone up on them
again...

FWIW I think most computers with a DVD drive and DVD player
software will play them as well - I bought my laptop in New
York, but it plays PAL DVDs (certainly including UFO) without
problem, or special configuration. Even before I took Windows
off it and replaced it with Linux.

PS - Marc, sorry for my own modest part in the off-topic-fest
we've just had.

Hi all
I was fascinated and somewhat shocked into the reality of how old I am (!!)
by the fact that Ed is 70 years old.

I still feel the 4 years old I was when I first saw UFO!!!

Now - 33 years later - its amazing to find out my hero Ed qualified for a
free UK bus pass 5 years ago:)

I wondered, given by how different, but yet 'not so old' he looks, if anyone
knew how old Mike was? To me - if he's approaching Ed's age - we're being a
bit cruel on him - he looks well if he's in his 60's.

Best regards
TonyC

Mike was born in 1939. Couldn't find the month or day. So he would be
around 64.

Thanks, Amelia. Someone needs to correct the listing at IMDB because its way
wrong!

I've send b-day greetings to Mike several times since I became aware of his
b-day - BTW - he's a Capricorn! Pam

I just wanted to thank people for the details they sent on my posting
regarding Mikes Age.

He *is* doing well. If I look like that at 62 - I'll be happy.

I'm a little out of touch with the internet - so if anyone can point me in
the direction of Mikes site - I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks again folks
All best regards
Tony

Tony,
It's at michaelbillington.com . He's improved it a lot from the old site
and it includes some good shots of him in the shows he's been in.
