Manimal competition
*** THIS COMPETITION HAS NOW CLOSED ***
We have a definite retro vibe now, with the arrival of the cult 80's show Manimal, starring Brit Simon MacCorkindale, finally onto DVD. To celebrate its release we've got 3 copies up for grabs, courtesy of Fabulous Films. Closing date: 8th September.
About Manimal:
"Dr Jonathan Chase... wealthy, young, handsome. A man with the brightest of futures. A man with the darkest of pasts. From Africa's deepest recesses, to the rarefied peaks of Tibet, heir to his father's legacy and the world's darkest mysteries. Jonathan Chase, master of the secrets that divide man from animal, animal from man... Manimal!"
Manimal is a hidden gem from the 80’s, with truly groundbreaking special effects. Now all 8 full length episodes are available on DVD. Produced by Glen A. Larson (Knight Rider, Magnum, Automan) with transformation sequences designed and created by the multiple Academy Award winning SFX artist Stan Winston (Terminator, Jurassic Park, Aliens, Avatar), Manimal is a high concept show which acquired a global cult following since its first airing in the U.S. on NBC (where it was scheduled against popular soap Dallas) – and on the BBC in the UK. Fans are howling in anticipation at this cult TV DVD release.
Dr Jonathan Chase (Simon MacCorkindale) is a famed Professor of Criminology, with inherited powers to transform himself into any animal he wishes. He uses his shape-shifting ability to assist the New York Police Department in solving major crimes involving hijacked ships, nerve gas, smugglers and Russian agents! Jonathan is assisted by the only two people who are aware of his ability - Brooke McKenzie (Melody Anderson), an intelligent and beautiful detective with the NYPD and Tyrone ‘TY’ Earl (Michael D Roberts) a former intelligence officer with whom he served in Vietnam.
Extras: A Brand New Documentary ‘Man to Animal – An Interview With Glen A. Larson’. Episode Guide Booklet, Cast Biographies, Crew Biographies, Behind The Scenes Stills Gallery, Original Publicity & Action Stills Gallery.

Best of luck.
