I think the following message was intended for the SHADO list,
but it was addressed to SHADO-owner...

Hi there,
Ole Alstrup over from the ITC_DVD Group. I sneak in from time to time
and enjoy all your great enthusiastic postings about the UFO releases.
:0)
Check the link for a picture of the boxset at the official A&E site:
http://store.aetv.com/html/catalog/vp01.jhtml?
id=70495&browseCategoryId=1285
It says it ships on July 2nd, a month before the retail date.
I should mention I have a good contact with Scott Bosco, the US
consultant for the ITC releases and he mentioned a few snippets of
information on UFO. He actually told me that great stuff is coming up
with UFO. That he has gotten new material to be produced, including
commentaries - one with Michael Billington - and another which will
knock people's socks off. I seem to remember something being
mentiuoned here about the new commentaries? Anyway, should I find out
more and post here?
One thing that is great about the A&E releases is that the new
immaculate 625/50 telecine masters from Carlton (BBC Resources) will
be properly converted to 525/60 format and will be transparent in
quality, identical to a pure 525/60 transfer. So will get UFO in the
correct 24fps speed. Hooray!
Sincere Regards from
Ole

like one and I couldn't examine it too closely. But if it was, it
still looked like the package for the Captain Scarlet set which is
coming out now, so that leads me to believe it was the real deal.
