The Tonight I'm interrupting our coverage of Twilight Zone 2019 with a short little off-the-cuff review.

Now this is something that I used to do occasionally. I haven't done it for a while, but if there's a new Twilight Zone product like a computer game or a book, then I'd just kind of turn the mic on and

talk about it. And tonight I'm going to talk you through a new Twilight Zone Blu-ray box set.

Now obviously this is something that is probably better done visually so I've also just

recorded an unboxing video of this box set so if you go to the twilight zone

podcast.com slash tz60 then you can see that unboxing video there. Obviously I'm going to be saying a lot of the same things on that video, but you'll at least get that visual aspect to it as well.

But if you're on the move, then I'm going to give you an idea of this box set as well until you have a chance to sit down and watch that video.

So just to begin, this is a new Blu-ray box set with all five seasons

of the original Twilight Zone on it and it's entitled the 60th anniversary edition and what we've got here

is a beautiful sort of cuboid box. It's similar to the fifth dimension edition that was out in the States, which is now out of print.

But it's a beautiful sort of black box with swales on it and we have the silhouette of rod sailing on the front.

Now what is really important to me as a kind of collector of things is if I'm going buy a box set of something I like it to be definitive

I like it to feel like it's good quality if you like and it's hard to do these days with a lot of things that are ongoing but with the twilight term because that original series is you know complete in of itself, then it's easy to do.

You can just put them all together and it's really about how you package that to appeal to the

collector. And I think what this box set does it is really bring that collector appeal to it because not only is it a nice definitive edition

with all those episodes in it but it looks great on the shelf you know it is a beautiful

look and piece to have there as part of your collection so when we open it up there is

packed quite nicely into it we have the five seasons of the Twilight Zone in it, all in kind of digit packs if you like. So I suppose the big question is what differentiates this from previous editions? Now I can't speak definitively about US editions. I don't really have a firm

grasp of what's come out over there, but I know that the Blu-ray editions in the UK when they

were released previously, which is probably going back, I don't't know over five years for sure those

additions were an exact port of what was coming out in the US at that time so those
