Surely there are at least a few of you who are fans of this iconic late 60s show, THE INVADERS.

A forerunner of sorts to the X-Files, it tells the story of a man who has discovered that THEY are here: aliens from another planet, working on THEIR plans to make the Earth THEIR world. He dedicates his life to fighting THEM, and trying to convince a disbelieving world that the nightmare has already begun.

Sadly, this show has been all but forgotten in recent times. It ran for 2 seasons, but only 12 episodes were ever released in the USA on videotape. The series is not available on DVD, and shows no signs of ever coming out in the near future. There was an attempt at continuing the series in 1995 with a special 4-hour miniseries, but it was abyssmally bad and had almost nothing in common with the original series. Even the miniseries has not been issued on DVD. The original series occasionally airs episodes in various countries, but at present I don’t think it’s running anywhere in the world.

There are various bootlegs of the series on DVD out there, in varying quality of course. Does anyone own any of these?

What possibilities for a preservation project might we have with this?
