IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

In my experience, UK DVDs of older animated series similar to Star Fleet never come out on time. In fact, it's happened so often before with so many other series, that I specifically don't pre-order such discs anymore.I can't blame companies for wanting to put out good product, but I really wish the...

Help shape the Star Fleet DVD

Not really surprised at this; most British DVD companies like Fabulous that release 'cult' children's TV titles nearly always give out early release dates that they can never keep!There's another UK company releasing a ton of Marvel Comics series on DVD, the first two of which were supposed to be re...

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

I've just read the latest bulletin as well and totally agree about what Fabulous said about the Japanese DVD set. The picture quality really is disappointing, with the episodes obviously simply being taken from a video source (the LD master?), rather than being transferred from original prints. I wa...

Help shape the Star Fleet DVD

Just sent about 20 questions for Go Nagai to Fabulous, although I imagine most of them are already covered! The only extras I could think of adding to the set would be PDFs of the Look-In strips and World Annual - the Doctor Who DVDs have done exactly this, and there's not much else out there in ter...

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

Just been told this after moaning in another forum that Star Fleet hasn't officially been available over here for two decades!This is fantastic news! When I was told it was genuinely coming out, I knew it would be Fabulous Films who would be behind it. Hopefully they can at least get the English-lan...

cereal:geek - New 1980s animation magazine

I consider myself a generally well-behaved poster, so I hope some shameless self-promotion won't go amiss!Basically, I'm one of many contributors to a new magazine from Busta Toons Productions discussing anything and everything related to cartoons of the 1980s, cereal:geek. I've actually got a copy ...

Anderson TV hosts Thunderbirds 2086 episode!

Nice!...But it would have been even nicer if they'd have gotten a hold of one of the remaining 7 episodes that was never released on video (in the UK, at least)!

'Message From Space' on UK video tape!

This isn't strictly about Star Fleet, but with the extreme lack of any news, I figured no one would mind much!I've long heard of Star Fleet's similarities with Message From Space, and I did know that an English-language version of that show existed. Until now though, I wasn't aware that it had actua...

American Ntsc 1 Hour volumes -fakes?

I think the whole deal with stuff only being allowed for sale in the UK if it's been rated by the BBFC is really only a UK situation, so no you legally wouldn't be able to sell the US Star Fleet tapes within the UK (as crazy as it seems).I'm not aware of many guidelines as strict as this in other co...
