Take a look at the Blu-Ray box set of Aliens that came out last year. Wow, what a set! I'm not even a fan of the last 2 films but it was such an incredible set with so many amazing extras that I ended up with the full collector's edition egg! And I don't even like 2 of the 4 films! But 2 versions of each film and endless hours of extras made this a must-buy set. Another example - the Blu-Ray set of Space:1999. An old half-forgotten sci-fi tv show from the 70's, yet restored to an amazing level of quality, with some very impressive extras. Yet Star Wars makes it's debut on Blu-Ray and most of the extras already sound utterly forgettable.

I'm more excited to see Empire:Revisited.

Space:1999 actually has a pretty healthy fanbase worldwide. (I still have my 1976 Mattel Eagle!) Conventions are still being held. There is even an ongoing fan edit of the series that's pretty amazing, comparable to Adywan's work.

Gerry Anderson is essentially the George Lucas of tv in the U.K., and it's a safe bet his other cult shows will hit Blu Ray. Thunderbirds has been cited as an influence on the look of the current Clone Wars series
