The Blu-ray Is Here
And it's full of high-definition goodness.
28 August, 2009
Back to Earth hits Blu-ray on August 31st - and it's a treat for your discerning eyeballs.
The high-definition picture is gorgeous to look at. (Playstation 3 users make sure you're using a proper HDMI cable - no point watching HD images at standard def!) And there's full HD 5.1 surround-sound on the Director's Cut, too - the all-in-one version of the shows that's now become the definitive way to watch Back to Earth.
On this region-free two-disc set you can also watch the three TV episodes of Back to Earth - accompanied with anarchic cast commentary - or get the full story behind the production with Doug Naylor's writer-director commentary.
There's the two-part Making of Back to Earth documentary, which is like being right there on-set without the constant risk of tripping over electrical cables, plus a veritable cargo-bay's-worth of featurettes. Here's the full list:
