completely on-topic here, it's always good to know what Carlton is doing with their Gerry Anderson DVDs... ----------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Simon Morris" <[hidden email]> Subject: 1999 on DVD (UK) It has been announced formally that Carlton will be releasing SPACE 1999 on DVD in April 2001 here in the UK. Three volumes will initially be released at this time each with four episodes (Year 1) per DVD.Thats half the series made available immediately! (None of the waiting 2 or more years that we suffered during ITC Home Videos haphazard release schedule...) The price of each DVD is expected to be £15.99. I'm not sure if there will be an opportunity to buy box sets etc and I presume the remainder of Y1 and then Y2 will follow. As an aside, ITC's other DVD releases (eg THE PERSUADERS,THE CHAMPIONS,RANDALL AND HOPKIRK.THE SAINT,DANGER MAN(aka SECRET AGENT) will resume in February next year. So far only one DVD volume of these series have been released (2 episodes per tape). From next February these DVDs will also have 4 rather than 2 episodes per tape and the price is also expected to be £15.99. Volume 3 issues are expected in May. Back to hard-headed commercial reality though and further issues (on DVD or video) of DEPARTMENT S,MAN IN A SUITCASE and JASON KING have been postponed due to poor sales. A constant reminder of how fragile this sort of market is I suppose. Simon ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
Great news, Marc, and thank you for sharing it with us.
So does this mean that Space 1999 is the next Gerry Anderson series to be given the DVD treatment in April, or will any of his other series be released on DVD before Space 1999? I was under the impression that either Captain Scarlet or Stingray would be next to be released on DVD, possibly in January or February. Can you confirm this? Thanks in advanced.
