Gamma Rays On... Yobba Rays On...

I've been thinking about copying my run of Space Patrol (the British puppet series, not the American live action series) videos onto DVD. But it seemed a lot of bother, so I thought I'd see how much the commercial DVDs cost.

Interesting answer... £21 or more plus p&p on Ebay.

Even more interesting answer... £16.99 inc. P&P from Play.com

Three guesses who just got my order.

Once I've got this I'll have eight PAL VHS tapes of the series going spare. Am I right to think there's going to be a charity auction at Eastercon?

I'd like to see an episode or two someday. I'm a big Supermarionation fan; it would be fun to check out the competition.

It's a fun show, although it was sometimes a bit obvious that they were recycling stock footage in different episodes.

Forgot to say that they're region 0 DVDs so should play on a US machine, you'll just need to find someone who distributes them in the USA.

Cultural question: does P&P mean something like "Post and packaging?"

It was in the part of the sentence where I'd say, "Shipping and handling" as an American (or S&H).

Yes - p&p = postage and packing.

You are - Friday evening, from 9.30.

Right then - assuming all goes well they'll be there.
