I've found out that the sci-fi anthology series "Welcome To Paradox" is available on DVD here in Australia.

I'd never heard of it before, the main reason I was interested was because it featured an adaptation of an ADF story, "Our Lady Of The Machine" - which was my personal favourite of the Angel Cardenas stories.

Has anyone seen this series? If so, can you tell me if the show as a whole is any good - and if the "Our Lady Of The Machine" epsisode is a good and faithful adaptation? Also, did the guy playing Angel act the part well?

Hi Ben;
Alas, the adaptation of Our Lady of the Machine, while competent given TV budgets, was much less than I had hoped. Much is changed around, the story is not set in the Montezuma Strip milieu, the actor playing Cardenas performed okay but was far too young, and I had other complaints.
Or to put it another way, I wouldn't buy it. Buy Wall-E instead. Or Dark City.
