The series has not been repeated in Britain since the 1960s. In December 2004 it was announced that the rights had been acquired by Network Video, and it was released on three Region 2 DVDs in May 2005. It is the only Supermarionation series not yet released to DVD in North America as of January 2006. Two British children's annuals were produced based on the show published by Collins in 1960 and 1961. They were both written by Sylvia Anderson and the first one featured a short text story based on the pilot episode of the TV series.
