Hi everybody. I currently run a Department S website, and I am launching a new section on it devoted to the Technofilm ITC releases. I am interested in any information anyone can provide me with Technofilm's history (origins, release catalogue, demise, where it is now) as well as images of all language releases of the ITC titles (particularly the mysterious The Champions releases)
All help will be much appriciated and credit will be provided.
Emails welcome.

Adam,

I don't know about Technofilm releases from this series, but one episode was also released by UFA-ATB in Germany: "The Trojan Tanker" . The German edition was called "Department S - Der trojanische Tanker", #213/214, on 2x400ft reels, colour, German sound. There is a picture of one of the covers on Heiko Jonscher's website: http://www.super8online.de/suchen.php (search for "trojanische Tanker"; you won't get any results searching for "Department S", as there is a misspelling in his database...)

Doesn't Piccolo have the Castle/U-8 rights, as well? They seem to have released an awful lot of their titles and even the box cover art is nearly identical?
