NCS Recovered

I have been seeing information posted on Facebook, etc. from Anderson Entertainment that the original "Masters" of the New Captain Scarlet series have been "recovered". It looks like there may be a HD release of the series in the works. Can anyone fill me in on what they mean by "recovered"? From who/where? Were the masters missing or in someone's possession? Damaged and restored? Kind of an odd word to use but it caught my attention. Also, at about the same time this NCS news was released Youtube cleared out all the complete NCS episodes. Something is afoot!

I imagine it was a case of recovered from where ever they were stored by the production company...probably known, but no one could be bothered finding them until now.

(With apologies to those who liked NCS).

Trying not to get too excited about this......

It's interesting. It may be that Anderson Entertainment did own the masters, but not the actual rights to the series, which may be what has prevented a third series from going ahead. However, it would be marvellous to think that they've got those rights back at long last. Jamie did say on Facebook that ITV will not re-show NCS. I'm not sure if that's because of their continuing negativity towards the series, or if maybe now they can't because they no longer own it. [go-1-go]

Not sure what the YouTube 10th anniversary vid is all about, but hopefully something is indeed afoot, as Animikii said. Good that it hasn't been forgotten about, anyway! And the prospect of a Blue-ray DVD release is excellent news.

I didn't go to the Andercon in Leicester last month. If anyone did, perhaps they can let us know if NCS was mentioned?

The Anderson Channel on YouTube's latest video was one to mark 10 years of NCS which blew my mind. Ten!?

But no I didn't attend Andercon either unfortunately largely for financial/time reasons which is a bummer as a lot of would have had me spellbound probably. Screenings of the Thunderbirds' movies, Shane Rimmer etc...

In short, I don't know if NCS was mentioned but talk is of wanting a Blu-ray release.
