While there were actually four such series under that particular umbrella, the first of them has unfortunately been either wiped or mislaid, but the remaining three-quarters of the quadrilogy – Pathfinders In Space, Pathfinders To Mars and Pathfinders To Venus – have luckily survived, and they are proudly presented by Network for all to enjoy.īeginning in 1960 with the now sadly missing Target Luna, the Pathfinders series would cover the exploits of Professor Norman Wedgwood, his children, and the journalist Conway Henderson, in the attempts to get man into space from the remote Buchan Island Rocket Research Station. One such example is their reissue of the long-since out of print DVD release of ABC Television’s sci-fi drama serials commonly known as the Pathfinders In Space Trilogy.
Network’s extensive catalogue of releases has included some genuine landmarks in television which would have otherwise remained unseen by modern audiences, something which is almost unthinkable.

One of the market leaders in this field has been Network Distributing, which for a quarter of a century now has been joyously bringing us rare treats from the archives, and lavishing all the care and attention which they so rightly deserve to have in their presentation. Thank goodness, then, for having the continuing presence of physical media, something which not only means we can still have continued access to things which may vanish without a warning from streaming providers, but also provides us with a much-needed outlet for those more esoteric productions which would otherwise be left to languish near-indefinitely in the vaults.
No matter how broadly some of them attempt to cast their nets, there will always be things which end up being missed, those rather niche or obscure films and TV shows which will seemingly never end up being made available on demand, no matter how hard sought after they may be. For all the hyperbole over the ever-expanding panoply of streaming services, there are still some fairly significant limitations which are yet to be overcome.
