Hello,

Let me be the first to tell you "Nothing" is lost from the show..if you know where to look.

The unaired pilot was thought to have been "Lost" but after two days of pulling every related element..there it was..

It was transfered from the network approval 16mm master negative, and boy was it a basket case..it had not been opened since 1963!

Due to time constraints rather than withhold the unaired pilot I let it go through with those slight gate movements at the begining. (a Problem on all 16mm prints of that age)

By that time I had already blown my budget twice on this transfer, the sound is now perfect but in the begining it was a major mess.

For the season one set I have further restored both pilots and have cut them together to form an new/old extended version of the first show.

As I will say to all fans when we have it..no holding back on any form of extra.

Look forward to material that will be far and above the normal run of the mill.

Best
