Page 1 of Does anyone remember `Star Fleet`? DVD release at all?

Does anyone remember that quality kids programe `Star Fleet` from the early 80`s? It was about a few puppets in space and was a blatant rip off of Star Wars and had a rousing soundtrack by Brian May!

Wonder if it`s about to be released on DVD? Any ideas?

Er Brian May covered the theme tune after watching the programme with his son, he didn`t do the original theme.
I don`t think it took too much from Star Wars and more from the japanese space cartoons that were popular (remember that Star Wars did borrow a certain amount from japanese influences)
Anyway look at http://www.sfxb.co.uk/ which indicates that theres only a japanese release without any English as such but the rights owners are looking for a publisher outside japan.

Barry Hercules was awesome!

Try http://www.starfleetdirect.com/

They have the full series on VCD for 40$ US

Class show - lots of great memories watching this as a kid - the one armed general who was captured and forced to work for the bad guys scared the crap out of me for years... lol

I was glued to this as a kid . Remember the x-bomber ship and dr benn who died when a creature got aboard and stung him with poison . oh those were the days . It was on itv every saturday morning and I had a granada half hour vhs tape I used to record it on .

I remember watching it on saturday morning with Commander Makra, and those insect robots.

I always thought those eye patches were cool and I wanted an eye patch that talked
