Can’t resist passing this on from those cunning wallet-draining fiends at Network DVD:

To celebrate the definitive release of Gerry Anderson’s Fireball XL5, Network have arranged a special event on Saturday 27 June at the Odeon Covent Garden.

To open there will be a 35mm screening of ‘The Day The Earth Froze’, newly struck from the original negative.

In complete contrast, the first ever public screening of the newly colorized and restored episode ‘A Day In The Life Of A Space General’ will follow in high definition.

A 10 minute extract from our brand new documentary ‘A Wonderland Of Stardust’ will conclude the screenings.

Special guest Gerry Anderson will then take part in a Q and A moderated by Richard Hollis. Other special guests are to be confirmed.

The box set is released on Monday 29 June but a limited number will be available to purchase on the day at the special price of £35. Gerry Anderson will be signing copies on the day.

Tickets and special deals on the box set are available exclusively from this website – more details soon!

So now you know.
