## Description

Blast off into the farthest reaches of space in Fireball XL5! In the future, mankind has at last made it's giant leap beyond the bonds of Earth. Under the supervision of the World Space Patrol, the galaxy and all it's wonders are finally being explored by a fleet of spaceships unlike anything we have had before. Under the command of the rugged Colonel Steve Zodiac, the fleet's flagship Fireball XL5 investigates the deepest corners of Galactic Sector 25 in search of faraway planets, alien life and adventure. Another distinctive creation from the mind of producer Gerry Anderson (Thunderbirds, Stingray, Captain Scarlet), Fireball XL5 debuted in 1962 and soon became a favorite of young viewers with one eye aimed at the television and the other on the rapidly growing Space Race. Anderson's famous SUPERMARIONATION technique is of course on full display here, offering it's unique look and style to the adventures of Colonel Zodiac and his crew. All thirty-nine fantastic tales from Fireball XL5 - in glorious black and white - are presented here in an out of this world box set.

Review: Great Fun to See This Old Favorite Again - Some may see this as crude but this was positively state of the art in 1962. Considering the size and low resolution of the average television screen back then, the production standards far exceeded what was required, so much so that when viewed on a large screen TV today it looks pretty amazing. Keep in mind I am not a big CGI fan however and my eyes see anything done with models and film as much more realistic than CGI could ever hope to be. One of the things I appreciate most about Gerry Anderson productions are how well many of the sets and scenes completely fool the eye into appearing full-scale and real. Sure there are a few comical moments such as the exhaust clouds of Fireball XL5 casting a shadow upon the sky as fireball takes off, and wires galore, but all in all I still think it holds up as a spectacular achievement and without a doubt say no one could recreate anything half as good today. Even though Fireball XL5 was geared towards children I still find the stories and action quite compelling and enjoyable today. The fine voice actors bring the Supermarionation puppets to life to the point after the first few episodes you almost don't notice them being puppets at times. Barry Gray's music was years ahead of its time and the pop tunes were solid enough to probably have charted nicely had they been released as singles. When I originally watched the show in the 1960s my favorite part was Robert and watching the show today I find it very amusing that the only noticeable British accent in the show actually belonged to the robot.
Review: Amazing picture quality... and works in American players! - I love Gerry Anderson's Supermarionation shows, and while Thunderbirds is the one everyone talks about and remembers, I'm actually a bigger fan of Anderson's earlier black-and-white series, Fireball XL5. Very much a classic sci-fi series that was influential on so much of what came later, the rapid pacing, creative character development, and set design show just why Anderson was such a visionary when it came to children's entertainment in England in the 1960s. I was extremely disappointed to learn that this release would be Region B Locked, but I saw other comments on various spots online claiming these would work in American players, with the Region B notice disappearing after a few seconds and the menu screens loading up and working fine. Upon having received the discs, I'm happy to say this is true. You'll get the Region B notice, but it disappears a few seconds later... and they play fine! Image quality is amazing, even putting to shame the old DVD version (which actually didn't look half bad). Only complaint is a lack of bonus features, though the bigger DX set has a disc of them (why wasn't that included here?) Fireball XL5 is a great show and I'm so glad to see these amazing looking discs work in American players. Absolute highest recommendations!
