There was a positive review of the second UFO DVD set in Chronicle
(Currently on the stands) written by Jeff Rovin:
here it is!
Chronicle May 2003 Issue #235
Page 27
"The second (and final) group of thirteen episodes of the British series
UFO (1969-1970) look and sound terrific. Ed Bishop provides solid core as
Commander Straker, the head of SHADO (Supreme Headquarters Alien Defense
Organization), a secret group with assets on earth, in orbit, and on the
moon. He receives terrific support from Michael Billington (who should
have been James Bond) as Col. Paul Foster. The team battles aliens whose
world is dying and who are seeking to transfer their minds to human bodies.
The stories are unsentimental (people die) and generally solid, despite
occasionally screwy science (a hole in moonbase causes suffocation but not
decompression). Derek Medding's special effects are ambitious and
spectacular and the caliber of guest stars is extremely high with the likes
of Michael Jayston, Gary Raymond, and Lois Maxwell. Fans of the Prisoner
will see familiar faces. Extras include outtakes, alternate takes and
commentary.
