Spain April 1st, 2003; December 1st 2003
First three volumes, each containing three episodes, released April 2003. Second two volumes released December 2003. Price 17.95€ each. On 25th May 2006, two box-sets were released, each containing 24 episodes of each series (9 DVDs for Year 1, 8 DVDs for Year 2). Price 49.95€ each.
Strangely, volume 2 features a photo from Gerry Anderson's UFO series. Volume 3 features Maya from Year 2, although at least Catherine Schell appears in one of the episodes on the disc. Two of the three back covers feature Year 2 shots. The complete editions also randomly mix Year 1 and 2 photos (the first series cover shows the cast from Dorcons) but the UFO photo does not reappear.
The episodes (visual and English audio) are identical to Carlton. The Spanish (Castillian) soundtrack is rather muffled, with distinct Latin American accents. There is also an English soundtrack, and Castillian and English subtitles can be selected.
The main menu is animated: the background picture is a shot of Moonbase Alpha from Matter Of Life and Death, with clips from Breakaway superimposed over the planet, as Eagles fly over (from various library shots). Menu transitions use a clip of the Travel Tube zooming past. Interior screens use a stylised Big Screen. On selecting an episode, a vague approximation of a Moonbase door appears with the flashing text "Insert Your Pass!" (in English). This takes you to scene selection. All the extras are sourced from Carlton, although the text guides (characters and Moonbase) are enhanced by short clips of their subjects in place of static photos. In the character guide, the character names are stated by a female "computer" voice in Spanish.
