I'm a Worcester-based-action-figure-making Browncoat!

I've got the Region 1 DVDs and am planning to get my mum the Region 2 version for Mother's Day... she doesn't have a multi-region player.

I'm so not funny but I got a kick out of it.



Right where did I put my .75 Calibre Brown Bess British Army Musket?

I feel the need to bayonet some damn traitorous Colonial Rebels before lunch

Hi

I'm another British Firefly Fan. I'm banging the drum about it wherever I can and telling people about it and how great it is. Also working on a Fanzine with a bit of luck, will post again more info about it when issue 2 is ready. Issue 1, is available and its the first post you get on screen when you load this website. Sly.

This does seem a bit strange for amazon to be selling the american ones especially as the region 2 ones are due on sale soon. I think sales of the region 2 disk could be hit quite a bit by this and the fact that pretty much evey uk fan with a region 1 dvd player will already have the box set. Whereas something like buffy or angel the region 2 disks usual come out before the region 1.

Red coats my boys and girls....damnit

and firefly wont ever be on the bbc, sorry to say that.

It was/is shown on the sci fi channel on sky/digital/etc...

and it, i think, scored that channel highest ratings i'll go check what nubmers that is exactly.

So, you'll probably have to wait to show your friends the dvds

Another British fan here (Derbyshire).

I got a region 1 set of the DVDs (and a player from Amazon to go with), but may get region 2 as well, so I can share them and get some converts.


See the Yahoo group of British browncoats:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ukbrowncoats


See you all there soon.

Wow, more UK Browncoats than I thought.

Due to age of DVD player have to wait for region 2 DVD to be released.

Couple of converts so far. Working on more right now.

I'm from Coventry.
Its easy to spot me - I'm wearing a ...long.....browncoat!
