I am looking forward to buying the v mini series which is out 11th march and is in 1.85.1 ratio and 189mins long. Is anyone else a fan of this great series and buying it? Can`t wait to see it again in widescreen and go down the memory lane when i first saw it in 1983.

Yes, but to be honest I was expecting great things, but I cant help but feel that things have moved on. The effects, etc were great a the time but they dont really stand up to much now.

Still, Mike Ironside as `Ham` still rocks. (Mr bit part himself )

I can remember watching this as a kid in about 1983 -1986. Its one of my greatest childhood memories, along with watching the World Cup in Mexico - 1986.

By the way did`nt Mark Singer have massive nostrils at the time !!

Don`t get to excited people. The disc only has the pilot and 2 episodes on it, hense why it has a running time of just 3 hours. There are plans to release later episodes later though, seemingly.

This was repeated in the past year on one of the channels. Was it C5? Anyway it may have been a Sky digital channel.
I never missed an episode in its original run (82-3?)
But I was 12 and when I saw it again I realised that.
I don`t think that u can ever get the same pleasure from watching any film as an adult compared to when u are a child. I think this show was primarily aimed at a 15 - 20 year old audience.
As a child u never really have to `suspend disbelief` and while I am a massive film/tv buff I don`t think I ever get the childhood buzz of watching shows.
Sad really - but I suppose the alternative of not growing up could be sadder.
