dvd question

[daggers]

calling all you rough neck fans please.
I've got the UK versions of the roughnecks on DVD but there seems to be a few episodes missing?
At one point they see a queen blast for earth and then they are on earth having defeated the queen?
are the missing episodes available in the UK ?
thanks

There's 2 DVDs that were US-only (think I read it was something to do with a couple of episodes on them being flashback-heavy. Can't see how that would matter). One was the ice planet campaign. I'm not sure what was on the other (Trackers) but it didn't have the final stories. Think they went so over budget they couldn't finish the series. I'm sure you could order the US versions from Amazon or somesuch. There is (used to be ?) a Roughnecks fan website that had an episode guide for the proposed final campaign, taken from the unused scripts.

Amazon:

The Complete Campaigns is a four-disc compilation of the Roughnecks: The Starship Troopers Chronicles series that was originally released on eight DVDs: The Pluto Campaign, The Hydora Campaign, The Tophet Campaign, The Tesca Campaign, The Zephyr Campaign, The Klendathu Campaign, Trackers (including the four bonus episodes), and The Homefront Campaign. While Paul Verhoeven's dark, satirical adaptation of Robert Heinlein's Starship Troopers seriously strayed from the novel, this Verhoeven-produced TV series--part sequel, part remake, all CGI animated--hews closer to the spirit of the novel, a space-age twist on a World War II battle adventure. Roughnecks: The Starship Troopers Chronicles is a series of military skirmishes and assignments on a variety of fronts, such as Bug City, water-dominated Hydora, the desert planet Tophet, the jungle planet Tesca, fiery Klendathu, and good old Earth.
