Re: UFO on DVD

Does the fact that Stingray and Captain Scarlet and Space 1999 are
all going to preceed UFO onto DVD mean that they are all more popular?

Generally video companies are going to put to market those products
with higher demand so this suggests that UFO rates down the list in
priority.

My main concern with this is that if previous sales of the above titles
fall below the producers' expectations then later releases can often
be cancelled. Let's keep out fingers crossed.

I am really looking forward to seeing the full series of Stingray
released uncut on DVD. Let's hope Carlton keep going with the other
GA series.

Are you talking about me? Coming home from vaction I traveled from
Taipei to San Francisco. I left at 10:25pm and arrived at 4:50pm the
same day.

In the UK, I suspect that Carlton is trying to capitalize on the
Thunderbirds revival by releasing other Supermarionation series
quickly. It's also possible that UFO is being delayed because of the
recent VHS release by Digital Entertainment... give those UFO fans
some time to save their money so they can buy yet another set of UFO
videos!

In America, I have no idea why Thunderbirds is being released before
UFO... poor judgement I guess, thinking that something which is
successful in the UK will also be successful in America...

Rumor has it that the American UFO laserdiscs were cancelled partly
due to poor sales of the previously released Space:1999 laserdiscs.
If true, then we really need to hope for good sales on the upcoming
Space:1999 DVDs, whether you like the show or not!
