I think "Great Expectations" was their first.

I think its their 6th release.

The first batch included Black Narcissus, Great Expectations, Boys from Brazil, Strictly Ballroom etc

Zyclone is correct. The Thunderbirds will be part of their third batch of titles.

I was interested in Thunderbirds, but I'm going to wait for a price drop first.

On another note, I wonder if ITV will release a box set of the original Thunderbirds series and the new Thunderbirds series after Thunderbirds Are Go has aired?

ITV have pretty much given up on releasing catalogue titles so I doubt it plus if its just a rehash of their 16:9 versions they can keep them.

This thread was started to show Thunderbirds has been released on Bluray, though, so they clearly haven't given up.

This thread was started 6 years ago, since then they have reduced the amount of catalogue material they release on BD, if you want ITV shows like Sherlock Holmes, Miss Marple and Poirot you have to import from the US/Europe as ITV have no plans on releasing them here.

I'm guessing there's probably a very small demand. The only ITV archive material I could see people buying is Thunderbirds.

ITV have as said given up on BD releases in the UK although still happy to license to Network their UK partner for back catalogue releases and overseas companies.

This Supermarionation boxset is coming from Network and not ITV. The episodes of Thunderbirds are original aspect ratio 4:3 and not the cropped 16:9 used on ITV's boxset from many years ago.

You would hope this release is a precursor to more Anderson BDs in the UK although based upon the ITC samplers from some years ago those did not lead to full season releases of those shows.

That's the mistake ITV are making(not including archive stuff in original aspect ratios). If you look at the BBC's archive releases, they have been pretty successful, with the classic series of Doctor Who now released in it's entirety(apart from Underwater Menace episode 2). These are all in the original aspect ratios, proving that this is a important thing that people like archive releases.

Limited to 2500 copies and costs £80.00 released October 20th

Definitely something to look into if you like your Gerry Anderson shows.

Regarding this set - The image shows it's including a 2-disc blu-ray set of "Filmed in Supermarionation" and "This is Supermarionation". It also includes another 2-disc blu-ray set called "HD21" which includes several additional remastered episodes.

Will those two 2-disc sets be available on their own also, or only in this box set? The box set is very expensive for USA customers to ship, and I just can't do it. I'd love to pick up the separate blu-rays though if they will be made available. I hope these aren't just limited to the box set.

Apparently the Japanese Thunderbirds BD is in 4:3 - but also costs like four or five times as much

There is going to be a release in Germany soon and rumours are it will use the same masters as the Japanese set so 4:3 OAR but should be a good deal cheaper.

Do you have a link by any chance to any info on that upcoming German set? I'd like to read more about it.

Concorde are releasing a double pack of films soon in DE, maybe they're using that to judge demand..
