Iain Petrie | Previously thought lost Flash Gordon episode 29 "The Matter Duplicator". 1954 series colourised @IKP1000 | Uploaded August 2022 | Updated October 2024, 13 hours ago.
This print of Ep. 29. "The Matter Duplicator" of the 1954 TV series has just been made available for what I believe is the first time. I have enhanced the picture and sound quality to the best of my modest abilities and equipment, and here it is colourised. It appears to be a many-times copied and much compressed old print, presumably recorded by an individual many decades ago. There's a hope, then, that better quality versions exist out there somewhere, so if you know of one, please let us know! In the meantime, this is the best on offer.
I used some astrophotography tricks to pull out more detail from some elements of the footage, which I'll show in another video.
Despite the poor quality, "true believers" in FG54 will rejoice at the opportunity to watch an episode which was thought to be lost forever. Other will watch this and and say "What?!"
