FOUND BY: sy278 3 months, 3 weeks ago

For those who missed out on the earlier Zavvi £8.95 deal.

DVD Description
In V: Series 1 aliens pretending to be friendly, come to Earth and are received openly. The aliens have masqueraded themselves to look just like humans. When it is discovered that the aliens' planet is dying and that they have come to rape the Earth of its natural resources, the war for Earth begins. An important key to the humans' success is distinguishing the their own from the aliens.

Synopsis
Aliens with nice faces and reptilian habits descend over the earth bringing a new and menacing world order with them in this landmark television miniseries. Sixty-five million viewers reportedly viewed the original broadcast. Disguised to look just like humans, the aliens are actually lizard-like creatures out to strip the planet of its water supply and turn humans into food. Although most people are fooled by the visitors and allow the planet to be taken over by the fascist monsters, a group of resistance fighters try to defeat these creatures. Helping the underground movement is a journalist (Marc Singer) who figures out just what the aliens are up to.

NOTE: This the TV series that followed the mini-series and the Final Battle

this is not the best V to buy in prep for the new series

i'd only buy if you have the two earlier dvds v and v final battle from hmv £5.
BOTH vastly superior esp the 1st dvd which has a good commentary from director

Agreed. The "V - The Complete Collection" DVD is probably the best value for money.

The TV series had the occasional good episode but fell well short of the standard of the 2 mini-series.

Did anybody else wonder why the Visitors kept their human disguises long after their secret was revealed. Nothing to do with budgetary constraints I'm sure.

Because Diana looked sexier in her human costume

great great 1st 2 mini series, but went a bit downhill after that (but that hybrid, how fit was she! ;) )

their voices also lost its metallic voice after a while too. i gues that was due to being expensive to alter maybe.
