Wrong show, dude... this is the Spectrum Is Green one. Although I suspect that for me to declare such an interest in the less popular CG remake of this programme, I'm probably on the spectrum.

Childrens' ITV butchered its release so hard, by splitting the episodes into two and airing as part of a Saturday morning kids' show it was clearly never intended for (to Gerry's chagrin), that it's no surprise it never made it to a third season.

It has a bunch of great bonus features, creator and cast commentaries, documentaries and cool posters which make me glad I supported Anderson Entertainment and preordered the set directly from them before it goes on general release on September 21st.

Ah sh..

I think my account got hacked by Captain Black... Yeah, i remember the splitting in two of the episodes and the disaster that was.

Gerry was hoping that the new CGI Scarlet was just going to be the start of it and seemed to have plans for several other shows to follow. But the ITV scheduling killed those plans dead in the water.

Full disclosure I still prefer the '60s original though.

S.I.G.

PS - I forgot to post this buy last week. Both were slightly discounted and brought my series collections up to date. The series 3 release of B7 looks to be coming soon (in time for Christmas!):

No problems. I apologise for getting a bit snippy and Stingray is a great show as well.

Yeah, most people do from what I understand. I would've loved to have seen a third season though as Ochre was just starting to come into her own and there were hints of good, pacifistic Mysterons seeking to bring an end to the conflict to add further complexity to the narrative.

Season 2's (or Series B's) "Gambit" (featuring Deep Roy) is still my favourite of the series as I'm a sucker for casino heist episodes (see also Knight Rider 2008 S01E08 "Knight Of The Zodiac" and Justice League S02E21-22 "Wild Cards") and it's largely a Vila/Avon double-hander, those two being the most entertaining members of the Liberator's crew for me.

In the UK, the only place you can buy the Tank is at the British Motor Museum.
Which I seem to be visiting a lot lately :lol:

Finally got this today! I started with Battlefront 1 on PS2 back in 2006, and my brother and I loved it. So much so that he went out and bought Battlefront 2 for the same system only months later, and it went on to be my all-time favorite shooter game- a title it still holds today- and is quite possibly the most played game we have. Of course, when we got a PSP years later, he got Star Wars Battlefront Renegade Squadron for it, probably because of all the fun we had with the console games. And I played Renegade Squadron a ton afterward, probably more so than the other PSP games we have, and to the point that it's become synonymous with the final months of my senior year in high school.

With all that said, it should come as no surprise as to why I wanted this game. It's actually been on my wanted list for many years now, probably since the aforementioned final months of my senior year, but I just recently decided to stop putting off on it and finally bought it. Got back into the PSP a while back, played Renegade Squadron once more, and lately I have been in a Battlefront mood, so it was about time Elite Squadron finally made its way here.

Already done a few quick tests to confirm the game works, and I'll probably play it tonight. Glad to finally have this game after wanting it for so long, and I am looking forward to seeing what it has in store since the previous games were a blast to play. Seeing how it's by the same devs that did Renegade Squadron, I am very optimistic about it.
