News Just as I was complaining about a serious failure in the fan artwork supply, here we are. 
I re-jigged my sketch of Marina in the sketchbook and released a few extra versions.
She was a great character - super mysterious. 
I ran screenshot capture on the first of the four Stingray Blu-rays.
The picture on these discs is brilliant.
I love this show. Dan at the Star Fleet facebook group was kind enough to let me know about the re-release of the Brian May cover of the Star Fleet theme.
I see that it's being released on CD as well as vinyl ...
Rather than going on about it, I refer you to Ben Page's XBlogger substack, where he already has a great write-up about the topic:
Brian May's Star Fleet Project
I see as well that the official Queen store has some good-looking Star Fleet items.
I, myself, am allergic to pre-orders, but when they become available I can see myself placing a little order. 
I got the baseline Stingray Blu-Ray set today.
Rather than putting down £80 on the deluxe version, you can get the basic one for about £40 if you shop around.
All it has is the 4x discs themselves and the case.
There seems not to be much in the way of on-disc extras, but other than the show itself, what do you need?
I read as well though that Network: the company that released the Blu-Rays, has gone into administration.
I guess we can't have nice things.
It's lucky that we got Stingray out of them before the lights went out.
I see that their website looks to have disappeared in the last week or so.
Anyway, I'm watching episode 4: Hostages of the Deep now. The show looks great.
Our 2-year old daughter was captivated by it.
On paper, Thunderbirds is probably the best Supermationation show, empirically, but Stingray is the one I love the most.
The whole adventuring at sea with the cosy and awesome-looking supersub is a great formula. This looks interesting ...
I see that the ITVX online streaming service has done an AI upscale on Space Precinct, which is one of my favourite Anderson shows:
UK: Space Precinct upscaled to HD on ITVX - Fanderson
I wonder how good it looks: wish they'd do it on Blu-Ray rather than streaming.
You would think that, if it was filmed on 16mm, it wouldn't take much upscaling if any to look good in 1080p.
