DS9 Season 4 UK VHS

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Season 4 was released on VHS in the UK in a two-episode-per-tape format by CIC Video in 1996.

It is interesting to note that this season sees a number of volumes receive ratings above PG. Only Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan had received such classification before.

↑ This release was heavily advertised in the UK genre press, with full page advertisements in Star Trek Monthly and SFX, amongst others.
