Fly Me To The Moon !!!
I am revisting my childhood by watching this again. This is an absolute must have in any DVD collection. The attention to detail and quality of the DVD covers is stunning. Professor Bergman would be proud. It was so nice to see all my favourite characters, Martin Landu and Barbara Bain were superb and Barry Morse is someone I want to hug. Like meeting old friends again. I grew up on Space 1999 and have never forgotten it, but seeing this DVD boxset was like comming home!!
I particularly like the music, I think this was restored and the picture quality is excellent, really fined tuned with tender loving care. Can't wait for Year 2 to be given the VIP makeover!! So fly me to the moon and give me a comlock! I am ready to watch this DVD Boxset again and again!!

Classic Television
24 episodes of the first series here,all have been superbly digitally restored which makes this 1975 series even better, some interesting extras on disc 7 as well ,including the 'Clapperboard' Gerry Anderson specials.Well done Network DVD on this release, let's hope that you will do the same on Series two.An excellent purchase.

The definitive release of SPACE: 1999 - Year 1
This is absolutely 1st class. The picture and sound quality will astonish you. The work that Network have done in terms of restoration and remastering is amazing.

SPACE:1999 remains one of the most controversial science fiction/fantasy series ever created... & I love it :-)

I can only hope that Network decide to release Year 2 and take the same amount of care over the restoration process that they have with Year 1 (you never know, we might even get to own "Message From Moonbase Alpha" - the definitive ending to the Alphan's long journey - & very moving it is too).

Buy this set, the presentation is laveish and the series itself contains some of the most beautiful and thought provoking episodes of the series. Highlights include: "Breakaway" (surely the most involving, stunning TV Series pilot ever filmed?), "Another Time, Another Place", "The Guardian of Piri", "Collision Cource", "War Games" and the mind booglingly scary and atmospheric "Dragon's Domain".

Even today, this is ground-breaking television on every level as the writers and actors go against every expectation and break every rule to create a series that truly stands on it's own.
