The BEST news of the decade for Captain Scarlet North American fans! A&E TELEVISION NETWORK will finally release a Region 1 DVD set containing all the 32 episodes of your favorite Supermarionation series! May 28th 2002 is the magic date! It's not a rumor, not an hoax either, it's official! All your long years of waiting is finally over! Unfortunately, there is no news yet concerning the same release in NTSC tapes format. Thanks to the dedicated fans who have contact me with the news, and thanks also to A&E, which has also swiftly sent me the confirmation of it. For those of you who are interested in buying the series directly from A&E, you can pre-order the box set on the Cult section of the A&E website. Just follow the link on the DVD page. |

For regions using PAL format videotapes (Citizens from European countries, such as U.K., France, etc.): you can use the links here and below, to access AMAZON.CO.UK, and order Captain Scarlet DVD or videotapes. Note that AMAZON.CO.UK also distribute books, as well as DVD and tapes of other Gerry Anderson shows, such as Stingray, and Thunderbirds.
NOTE TO INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: AMAZON.CO.UK sells everywhere in the world. But I advise you to take a look at the note below, concerning Region 2 DVD and PAL format in the DVD discs page, before ordering any.
NOW AVAILABLE (September 2001)!
Here it is! The new release of the Captain Scarlet video tapes, from Carlton International. This time around, the tapes follow the original airing order of the series… And this time, no compilation. The episodes are completed, with no missing scenes, fully remastered. This new series of tapes was scheduled to coincide with the release of the DVD discs, which will be carrying the same cover artwork.
The content and availability of each tape appear below each image. Note that the box set, containing the eight tapes, and including a bonus documentary tape produced by Gerry Anderson, will be the only way to acquire to entire 32 episodes before March 2002. The box set is presently available, as are the two first separated volumes.
IMPORTANT NOTE: All the tapes are in PAL formal. I do not know at this time, if A&E, who is supposed to release a Region 1 version of the series in DVD in spring 2002, , also intends to launch an NTSC version in tapes.

Captain Scarlet Complete Series Box Set
POLYGRAM / CHANNEL 5 OLD EDITION
Presented in 8 volumes, from ITC Intertainment, there are three sets of Captain Scarlet videos series produced in Pal: one series is marked "Channel 5". The two others are from Polygram . The tapes from the first set are offered for individual sell, while the second is a complete box set, featuring a slightly different art cover than the first, and the spines of all the video form four portraits of some of the series "stars". The three series have the same contain.
Each tape contains 4 episodes, except volume 3, containing 3 episodes, and volume 8, containing 5.
The order of the episodes are not the same as originally presented on TV. The first two volumes are compilation of chosen episodes of the series, to produce a “movie version”, so to speak. Volume 1 compiles the episode of the lunar mission trilogy, plus the episode “Shadow of Fear”. Strangely, it is in Volume 2 that we found the pilot episode, along with its direct follow up, “Winged Assassin”. This volume has been somewhat modified, in regard of the last scenes of the pilot episode , “Winged Assassin” … and particularly “Attack on Cloudbase”. While it was clearly demonstrated in the last scenes of this episode during the TV series that it was indeed all a dream from Symphony Angel, it is not the case here. I, for one, prefer the
original TV version of this story..
