ok so my dads driving me nuts for the old tv series v, problem is there are that many diffrent ones i dont quite know what i am looking for,
i have seen a mini series that includes the first two episodes? and v the final battle which i am not sure what that is......
is the mini series the first two episodes but not the rest of the series?
do you have to buy the series seperate?
can you get the second series?
was there a third (i remember the aliens comming back after hiding behind the moon but dont know if that was a second series or third, it hink there were two but i dont know i kind of remeber one season being cancelled halfwy through)

This is one of my old favourites.

You need V The Miniseries:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/V-Mini-Jane-Badler/dp/B00005MHNA/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/026-1159778-1593202?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1175627307&sr=8-1&tag=myrev09-21

and V: The Final Battle

http://www.amazon.co.uk/V-Final-Battle-Michael-Durrell/dp/B00006HCP6/ref=pd_bxgy_d_h__text_b/026-1159778-1593202?ie=UTF8&qid=1175627307&sr=8-1&tag=myrev09-21

Which if you buy them together at Amazon.co.uk at the moment will cost you £15.96 (which also mean they`re free delivery)...


*edit* there is an R1 version available of V the series, but don`t bother with that, it was crap...

V The Miniseries is excellent.

The Final Battle is the second miniseries.

The R1 V The Series set is actually dual coded for R1 and R2 so you can get one cheap and play it even if you are R2 only.

It starts off not too bad but gets a bit soapy.

But I`m sure your dad would enjoy following the additional adventures of Mike Donovan,Ham Tyler an the evil Diana

There was a second series to `V` but was nowhere near as popular as the original. Still watchable though....

I wouldn`t mind seeing a revamped version of V, and in the climate we`re living in, this would be the perfect time to do a re-imagining of the classic sci-fi series.

IMDB is one of the most inaccurate sites on the net.

V was 2 episodes.

V -The Final Battle was 3 episodes.

V-The series was 19 episodes.

The original 5 x90 minutes are often shown as 10 one hour episodes.
