      This is one show that should absolutely explode with color and brilliance thanks to HD.

          Network is a UK based company. Is there also going to be a US release?

              Won't matter if you own a PS 3. Region free Blu-Ray player.

                Really? I've never heard that and I've had a PS3 for nine years now. Unfortunately, any UK Blu-rays I have are region free so I can't test that out. I do know that my PS3 can't play non-region 1 DVDs (but I have another DVD player that does) so I'd be surprised if it could do non-Region A Blu-rays. Or does it need to be hacked?

                  From what I've heard,PS3s are suppose to be Region 0 Blu-Ray players.

                    Dumb question, if you play British blu-ray's in a North American Blu-ray player, do they still run a bit fast as they do in British players ?

                      I have the DVDs, but it'll look great on Blu-Ray!

                        No it should not. The whole previous PAL/NTSC does not affect bluray since it supports true progressive film rates at the actual film speed it was shot and because of that you no longer have a pal or ntsc format

                        However on some occasions a Blu may have a pal frame rate or the disc at a universal film rate but with pal extras,etc

                        But for the most part unless they lock it to region B ( and if you don't have an all region Blu player), you will be fine in viewing whatever with proper sound

                            Set in the not too too distant future (from 1970)

                            Aliens vs cool British secret agents lead by an American.

                            Includes, a moonbase with sexy gals, flying saucers, rocket ships and other fun Gerry Anderson stuff.

                            It's the kind of show Austin Powers would most likely watch

                              I do not have a Blu-ray player because I couldn't be arse to buy Jaws again (although, I did buy it twice on DVD. So much for being penny wise) I also don't have a 2001 monolith HDTV and I doubt I cloud fit such a thing in my teeny apartment (well, maybe). So the Blu-ray aspect isn't all that exciting to me.

                              However, I am interested in the show. One of my favorite movies is Moon Zero Two and TV Tropes listed UFO as a spiritual successor (along with Space: 1999 which I used to watch as a kid but couldn't tell you anything about it today. Give me a break, it's been thirty-five years). The intro looks fascinating as well as the late 60's/early 70's style. I wish more movies and TV shows were like this today.
