it would be great, if maybe august/september time one of the terrestrial channels could buy it, get some massive air play before serenity, but doubt it would happen :(

sky one never bought it, or attempted i think, in fact they're losing all of their good american type shows to E4

Firefly is in the middle of it's 4th or 5th full run on Sci Fi UK if I'm not mistaken - can't seem to access the SFUK site at the moment to check...

That's a great idea; one that I had myself a while back, but lacked the wherewithal and time to do anything about. I do think that if the critics are benevolent towards the film it stands a much better chance of doing well over here, and hopefully most would be willing to give the boxed set a chance (probably not all though...).

I will try and get round to donating some money in the next few days for this...

You guys have already donated £55, enough to purchase the first 3 Firefly DVD boxsets!

International browncoats are welcome to donate. If this idea proves successful it may be worth replicating it worldwide.

Wow, thanks everybody so much!

After less than two days we've already raised over half the money needed!!

The first 5 Firefly box sets have all been ordered and such arrive on Monday - I will put photos online as proof at the beginning of the week.

Still 50% of the way to go! I will be ordering boxes and paper to make the Serenity boxes, a certain film company has supplied certain leaflets about a certain film, and I've got the letters ready.

I was thinking this would take all of July to organise, but at this rate we should have finished by the end of next week.

Browncoats, awesome.
