Customer Reviews

I'd totally recommend this package
Had this for Christmas - and I'm glad to say that it's turned out to be all I could have hoped for. The digitally restored pictures are so sharp and clean.

In the Extras, one thing really had my eyes wide open - there's a sequence from an episode (originally made in black and white) which has been computer colourised. It's gob-smackingly fantastic! Even though it's only 13 seconds long, it makes you realise just how much colourisation has improved in the last few years. I can remember the Laurel and Hardy colourised videos (released in the late 1980's?) and they were not much better than blocks of solid colour stamped onto the image - every person had exactly the same flesh colour and all the houseplants were the same shade of green - ugh! The Supercar colourisation section is far superior and of a standard to easily convince that it was originally made in colour - it really is that good.

Maybe, one day, we will get "Supercar - The Entire Series" released as a colourised DVD. Here's hoping!

Until then, I'd totally recommend this package.

Super
Ok, so it's old and a bit corny, but this is great entertainment and there is little to touch it for kids today.

The best Gerry Anderson show ever!
I rented out this box set a few months ago with Amazon's new rental system and it is a piece of sheer Anderson cake. The stories are pretty advanced for the day it was made in, the Supercar its self is a machine that I wish was real and best of all the excellent stunts that the car is showed performing are breath taking. A must see for all GA fans!
