Fw: Fw: [SHADO] Re: UK UFO DVD limited editions available again?

I dread asking this, but are there UFO "completists" out there who just have to own every permutation of every video/DVD released in all countries, not forgetting the Super 8 films as well?

All The Best,

BRIAN

And (obviously) the menus and packaging are different.  Also, don't the UK versions play slightly faster than the region 1 discs, thus altering the pitch of the actor's voices, whereas the region 1's play at the correct speed?

The Region 1 (A&E USA) UFO DVDs have two additional commentary tracks
that the UK sets do not -- Mike Billington/Alan Perry on KILL STRAKER,
and Sylvia Anderson/Wanda Ventham on TIMELASH. There may be a few
other extras... the "singing SID" was an outtake from IDENTIFIED.
In the original script, the Moonbase commander was male, and as a
hobby was teaching SID to sing. They actually recorded Mel Oxley
singing "Home on the Range" for this, and this is what that extra
feature is.

Well, of course! Probably only a very few people, though...

As for me, I've still got my Japanese UFO laserdiscs, plus I've got
quite a few of the DVD versions (UK, US, French, Italian, Australian,
Japanese).

I don't think I have any VHS versions anymore, and I've never owned
any 8mm film versions...

I've just ordered my set from Amazon. (goes away to hide the receipt from husband.........) Is it possible to have TOO much UFO stuff? I still have a badge from one of the Countdown comics.I wish I had the comics as well. :-(
