Portugal October-November 2003 The full series was released in two DVD box sets with 6 discs/24 episodes per set. The box artwork looks similar to the French TF1 edition, including a similar artwork for the box with the lettering Espaço:1999 in Portuguese. The first series box set was released with major advertising; prominent displays at FNAC shops (the major European retailer), and colour adverts in all major newspapers. TV commercials for the Space: 1999 and The Saint box sets also ran in the major channels, which is apparently a first for DVD -- seen previously (and very recently) only for the Indiana Jones Box Set. The TV ad unashamedly heralds Space: 1999 The newspaper advert blurb translates: On release, the first series set shot straight to number 2 at FNAC (ahead of the newly released Indiana Jones box set). Portuguese Public Radio ANTENA 3 is commemorating the release of the Portuguese Space:1999 DVDs with a contest, offering trips to the Kennedy Space Center as well as the DVD packs: Website On September 16th 2004, a box set of the four compilation movies was released.
