Archive Details / DVD Releases
The BBC archives currently only hold The Face of the Tiger, part of The Last Mystery, a number of film inserts and an off-air audio recording of The Last Mystery which was returned to the BBC late in 2006 — sadly too late to be included as part of the Andromeda Anthology collection.
All existing footage has been released on Region 2 DVD in the UK, alongside The Andromeda Breakthrough, as The Andromeda Anthology (Amazon.co.uk / Amazon.com / HMV.com).
A for Andromeda was remade for television in the UK in 2006 for BBC Four as a ninety-minute production and this has also been released on Region 2 DVD in the UK (Amazon.co.uk / Amazon.com / HMV.com).
