Full details and pics soon.
In addition, Gerry will be at Forbidden Planet doing some autographs and Hamleys will be carrying the new range of toys from Bandai.
All this, and no word of broadcast or other releases outside the UK...
This is basically a good news/bad news posting. The good news is that I have finally been able to get the TV Century 21 site updates newsletter active again. The bad news is that despite many hours of effort, I have been unable to ressurect the original subscriber list. Consequently, we have to start again from scratch. So, if you were subscribed to the TV 21 updates email list, you will need to subscribe again, sorry about that. If you were not subscribed, the TV Century 21 site updates email list is a service I provide to send out emails whenever a new post has been added. If there is interest, I may break it down a bit more, so that we have lists related to interests such as general news, downloads, gallery etc.
If you want to subscribe, simply add your email to the "TV21 Site Update" form to the left, make sure "SUBSCRIBE" is selected and click the PROCEED button. You will receive a confirmation email, which contains a link to click on to verify that you really want to subscribe. IMPORTANT Until you click on this link to verify your request to subscribe, you will not be subscribed!
The emails will probably go out 2-3 times a month at most and each will include details on how to unsubscribe. Just my way of making it slightly easier to use the site.
The downloads area has been expanded to include a complete set of Supermarionation-era fonts, TV Century 21.com desktops and even a set of icons.
In a grim co-incidence, two of the main actors from the UFO TV series have passed away within days of each other. Mike Billington passed away on monday and Ed Bishop passed away on wednesday.
Not much is known about the circumstances, but it will certainly come as a shock to fans of UFO and Captain Scarlet, where Ed Bishop voiced Captain Blue.
The Fanderson site has a detailed report on these events as well as more of the history for both actors. Both actors were scheduled to appear at the convention this autumn. We offer sincere condolences to their families.
The company doing the release, Network, is also re-issuing Supercar on DVD. Network has a reputation for doing superb DVD releases, so all of these should contain plenty of goodies and hopefully the Supercar DVD even contains something new.
The live action 1972 series "The Protectors" is finally out on DVD in the US. The DVD set consists of 4 discs with all 26 episodes from the first season. Not a lot of extras, but there is a photo gallery and a commentary for one episode.
The Protectors season 1 DVD set is available at Amazon for about $72. Something to tide us over until the Four Feather Falls DVD comes out later this year...
