THE SECRET SERVICE

THE SECRET SERVICE DVD SET - REGION 2 PAL FORMAT (UK) - Available June 20, 2005

The last, and less known Supermarionation series from Gerry and Sylvia Anderson comes to DVD, region 2 PAL format (UK and the rest of Europe) for the first time ever, on June 20, 2005, a year and a half after its release in North America. The series had been made available before in UK, in VHS videotapes, but has been sold out for years. Now it's your chance to own it!

Presented in a nice two discs box set, with a very affordable price, this 13 episodes series presents the adventures of Father Stanley Unwin (played by... Stanley Unwin), a very special secret agent, who, with the help of a neat invention, can reduce his partner Matthew Harding (who posed as the presbytery gardener) to the size of a (puppetsized) doll, in order to crack various cases for the BISHOP organisation.

Fans of the Captain Scarlet series might be interested to know that this series features many of the puppets who previously starred in the Captain Scarlet series - including the Captain Scarlet puppet itself, in the recurring role of Agent Blake, the BISHOP's assistant.

You can pre-order your The Secret Service DVD set at Amazon.uk.co, by clicking the link.

Other upcoming DVD releases from Network include a new release of Space: 1999. Dates to be confirmed.

PLEASE! CAREFULLY READ THIS IMPORTANT NOTE FOR TAPES AND DVD:

Be aware of the different Regions and recording Formats. UK tapes and DVD are PAL format - and DVD discs are Region 2, which means that, PAL TAPES ARE ONLY COMPATIBLE WITH UK VIDEO SYSTEMS AND REGION 2 DVD DISCS ARE ONLY COMPATIBLE WITH EUROPEAN PLAYERS -- THEY WILL NOT WORK IN US EQUIPMENT. Unless you have a system that will enable you to, you will not be able to view those medias in North American machines, which use NTSC recording format, and Region 1 for DVD discs. The same is true the other way around.

REGION 1 DVD SET

The last and the more obscure of Gerry Anderson Supermarionation Series, will soon be released on Region 1 DVD (North America) by A&E Entertainment.

Stanley Unwin) a crack Secret agent (!!!!!!!!) and his gardener Matthew, whom, with the help of a very neat invention, can be reduced to the size of a midget doll and be carried around in a suitcase... The series might be of interest for Captain Scarlet fans, as some episodes featured the Scarlet puppet, in the role of mild-mannered agent Paul Blake... Not well-known as the series had not been broadcast largely in UK, it will soon be available for people to own on DVD. For Region 1 DVD players only (North America) , or for those living in the UK owning a player able to read Region 1 discs.
