Product Description

A colourised episode of the black and white 1960s TV series following the interplanetary adventures of a spacecraft commanded by Colonel Steve Zodiac (voice of Paul Maxwell) and his crew: the eccentric maths genius Professor Matthew Matic (voice of Paul Maxwell), the beautiful space doctor Venus (voice of Sylvia Anderson), and Robert the Robot (voice of Gerry Anderson). When Lt. Ninety (voice of David Graham) is promoted to the rank of space general after designing the schematic for a new radar screen, he soon finds that the running of Space City is more than he bargained for.

The colourisation process is incredibly well done and I would never have known it came from a B&W source. It was a real treat to see the world of Fireball XL5 come to life in colour in crisp detail. Besides the main feature, there's Four feather falls and a superb documentary of the story behind the creation of Fireball XL5.

If you have an intrest in Fireball XL5, this blu-ray is fantastic and a bargain at the current price. Highly recommended.

All I could say about A Day In The Life Of A Space General (Colourized Episode) on Blu-ray Disc is really good thing to enjoy. (Not just if you want to replace your 2003 DVD Boxset with the 2009 DVD Boxset of Fireball XL5)

The Entire Colourized Episode seems really well, except some fault is the scene where Lieutenant 90 shouts "Commander Zero! What have I done?" as two scenes between Lieutenant's Whining and XL5's Crashed down to the ground were transferred in a wrong direction... I dont know why. :P (Same thing happened in 2009 DVD Boxset)

Along with Four Feathers Falls Episode (Gun Fight on Main Street) has HD Quality seems fine too aswell as a Documentary from the 2009 DVD Boxset too. (Only in SD)

Also the menu seems good as we see Earth, Stars and the Moon as seen in the ending credits. (but in the interactive way)

9.3/10!
