Super Space Premiere!

 

Enjoy an exclusive taste of what’s in store on Network’s stunning Space: 1999 Super Space Theater Blu-ray box set!

Here’s the classic Destination Moonbase Alpha TV movie – but as you’ve never seen it before! Rebuilt from the high definition restorations created for the series itself, this feature-length adaptation of The Bringers Of Wonder two-parter is presented here as a widescreen special edition featuring enhanced special effects. With an exclusive new introduction by David Hirsch (mastermind behind the original Super Space Theater shows) and Tim Mallett from Kindred Productions (mastermind behind the new restorations), it’s an event no self-respecting Space: 1999 fan can afford to miss!

The movie will be free for everyone with a Network On Air account to watch from 7pm on Tuesday 25th January until 7pm 1st February.

PRE-ORDER: Space:1999 Super Space Theater Blu-rays!

Network have announced a superb new Super Space Theater Blu-ray Disc boxset!

In the late-70s/early-80s ITC (capitalising on the success of Star Wars) edited episodes of several Gerry and Sylvia Anderson productions to create what would ultimately become thirteen full-length movies for cable and home video under the banner Super Space Theater. The four made from episodes of Space:1999 – Alien Attack, Journey Through The Black Sun, Cosmic Princess and Destination Moonbase Alpha are being released in a Blu-ray Disc boxset from Network.

All four movies can be watched in their original 4:3 aspect ratio or in a new 16:9 widescreen special edition. Extra features include (dependant on the film) original episode or movie soundtrack, trailers and original titles. The boxset also includes Spazio 1999 – the Italian cinema edit, eschewing the original Barry Gray score for one by Ennio Morricone.

With delivery expected from 31st January 2022, the boxset is available for pre-order now for just £40 (rising to £50 in January).

FAB 99 also sees the second wave of deliveries of our 2021 membership gift – the oft-requested 7″ Barry Gray EPs from 1986 and 1988, together on our exclusive new CD! We can only give this CD away as part of our membership package, so if you get a renewal notice with FAB 99, make sure you renew by the date given on it so that you don’t miss out!

This mailing also includes your 40th anniversary badge, which we stupidly missed out of the FAB 98 mailing!

If you were late renewing your membership, and so haven’t been included in the FAB 99 mailing, we haven’t forgotten you. Your membership will re-start with FAB 100.

Mail is still being affected by the pandemic, so please be patient whilst your FAB 99 wings its way to you. Amazingly, we know from experience that members living in the same town can receive their packages days apart! Nonetheless, if you’re worried your package might have gone missing in the post (having allowed a reasonable amount of time), please check our Shipping And Returns page before contacting us.

Anyone who missed FAB 98 can now buy it as a back issue, and last year’s membership item – Century 21 Complete Puppet Catalogue – is also now available to buy in the Shop.

How to get FAB magazine? Join Fanderson!

FAB magazine is available exclusively to Fanderson club members – we usually publish three times a year, and do our very best to make each issue a joy to read for every fan – regardless of your favourite Anderson series!
