Hi all,
As many of you know, Carlton is about to release Gerry Anderson's
"UFO" on DVD in the UK, plus A&E is supposed to be releasing
it in the USA sometime this year, as is TF1 in France. The
Fanderson website mentioned several special features that
were going to be included on the UK DVD's, and this got me
wondering what fans really *wanted* for special features,
if cost/time/effort was no object. So I put together a list
of items that were certainly possible to include on a UFO
DVD if a video company wanted to make the effort/spend the
money, and conducted a poll on the "SHADO" Yahoo group.
Here are the results so far:
deleted scenes 40
digitally remastered episodes 33
cast/crew episode commentaries 32
alternate opening sequence 29
behind-the-scenes photos 29
cast/crew interviews 26
Fanderson's 1-hour UFO documentary 23
overview of SHADO bases, hardware, etc. 22
character biographies 18
music + effects track (no dialog) 18
pre-production artwork 18
music-only track 17
publicity photos 17
readable scans of the original scripts 15
"Power Themes 90" UFO music video 14
Doppelganger featurette 14
cast/crew biographies 14
readable scans of the writers guide 11
english-language subtitles 7
merchandise galleries 7
french-language (dubbed) track 1
After I began the poll, I discovered that some fans
weren't voting because they had no interest in
special features at all -- they just wanted the
episodes themselves. So it certainly would have
been more interesting to see how many fans felt this
way.
Anyway, just for everyone's information... I thought
this would be interesting, although in retrospect
I'm not sure if the results are all that surprising!
