On May 13, 1992, Fox Video released in Australia the first 6 black & white
episodes of the first season of Lost in Space. Since then
Fox Video has been releasing further tapes at a rate of 3 volumes
every four to six months. The tapes have been selling extremely well
with each release invariably hitting the top 5 sell through list.
Priced at $19.95 ($24.95 for volume 15 which contains the 1 hour LIS
pilot) each tape includes two episodes. The episodes have been
cut from master prints specially produced for this release.
The episodes are complete, uncut and include the cliff-hanger endings with
freeze frame caption "To be continued NEXT WEEK!" Also left intact
are many scenes TV networks have deemed too scary to broadcast.
The soundtrack of each volume has been digitally enhanced to give a hi-fi
stereo effect.
It is worth noting that the Australian Lost in Space Fan Club has
assisted with the design of the video packaging and provided
episode synopsis information. The address of the club can be found
at the bottom of the inside jacket.
In Australia, the tapes can be purchased from most larger video outlets
and department stores. For further information about the Fox Video Lost
in Space tapes contact: Ken Taylor, Fox Video, PO BOX 399, Artarmon, NSW,

in PAL format only. If you live in the United States please see our
