So...all 10 episodes are 'U',but the 69-minute piece is VG.Why? That's what I thought. This is what it says on BBFC's website: THREAT There are scenes in which the children are threatened by a spaceman who is initially dressed as a human; the children are not attacked, although they are briefly scared by him. Um isn't that what happens in the individual episodes as well? |

It seems the story is now going to appear more less than 3 times on the disc!:
Main programme itself
•Feature-length presentation (70 mins): exclusive version of Dan, Helen and Peep-peep’s adventures, edited specially for the release
•BBC Records LP: film version (55 mins): an exclusive presentation, combining audio from the 1972 LP with footage from the 1980 TV broadcast

Has the story been cleaned up for this release? The picture looks so much better than the original broadcasts. Edit: Just found it's The Restoration Team that have restored this story. Brilliant!

Received the DVD today. Simply brilliant! My favourite feature has to be the LP recording combined with video footage but everything is great! 10/10.

A feature on The Boy From Space in the latest (about to go off sale) issue of Infinity magazine: Ray Harryhausen’s Ymir travelled 20 Million Makes to Earth and he’s landed in the pages of Infinity 37 alongside a lot of other great sci-fi and cult TV treats. We look at 50 Years of The Master from Doctor Who, remember the teatime terrors of The Boy From Space, serve up some vintage chat with director Val Guest (Creatures the World Forgot, The Quatermass Xperiment) and remember the great Sid James. There’s also a splendid look back at Tornado comic and the Golden Age of sci-fi and radio. infinitymagazine.co.uk/product/infinity-37-cavegirls-at-war/ |
