North American fans were delighted when A&E got the distribution rights to Farscape from ADV Films and released Farscape: The Complete Series in one box set, for about the same price that ADV charged for one season. Unfortunately, the rest of the world wasn’t so lucky. Now, for the first time ever, Farscape: The Definitive Collection is being released in Region 2 format for the UK fans, and it should be worth the wait. In addition to the full content of the North American version of the box set, the Region 2 version will include a nice little bonus: The Peacekeeper Wars.
UK fans can pre-order their copy of Farscape: The Definitive Collection at Amazon.co.uk.
from A&E:
Farscape: The Definitive Collection from A&E is a fan’s dream; all 88 episodes of all four seasons of the classic sci-fi show in one stunning box set, not to mention over 15 hours of bonus features including two disc mini-series The Peacekeeper Wars and rarely-seen special Farscape Undressed.
Farscape follows the adventures of astronaut John Crichton, flung through a wormhole to a far off galaxy while testing a prototype spaceship. Plunged into the midst of a battle, he is rescued by Moya, a living craft crewed by a motley group of escaping alien prisoners being hunted by the fiercely militaristic Peacekeepers.
Featuring mind-blowing sci-fi action, superb storytelling, great special effects and character designs by The Jim Henson Company, Farscape has stood the test of time as a landmark science fiction series. Prepare for the adventure of a lifetime with Moya’s crew — likeable hero John Crichton; renegade Peacekeeper Aeryn Sun; short-tempered warrior Ka D’Argo; psychic priestess Zhaan; mercurial thief Chiana and deposed monarch Dominar Rygel XVI.
Farscape: The Definitive Collection features:
- All four series of the classic sci-fi show — 88 episodes — in one special collector’s edition.
- More than 15 hours of bonus material including the rarely-seen special Farscape Undressed as well as episode commentaries, behind-the-scenes interviews, deleted scenes and much, much more.
- Bonus 2-disc miniseries Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars in which our heroes find themselves in the middle of a war-to-end-all-wars.
