Yep, you read right. There is going to be a seventeeth
bonus DVD with the Space: 1999 Mega Set to be released by A & E this month. Details are sketchy but there will reportedly be remastered episodes (probably first season) with audio commentary by Sylvia Anderson, Johnny
Byrne, and Christopher Penfold with additional extras duplicated from the British and French R2 releases. My guess is the remastered episodes will be "Dragon's Domain", "The Testament of Arkadia", and "Death's Other Dominion" as those are the episode transfers that have tended to receive the most complaints.
Strange thing is, only Best Buy seems to be offering the 17 disc Mega Set. All other retailers won't have the bonus disc. Strange.
Really, what A & E should do is offer the bonus disc either for free or at a discount price to everyone who has bought the Space: 1999 DVDs in their 2-disc sets. As much as I'm intrigued about the bonus disc, I'm not sure I want to repurchase the entire series to get it, especially as a few of the first season discs I find unsatisfactory due to flaws in the transfers.
