Thanks Kevin! Being overly impatient as well as overly curious, I
ordered it anyway. Amazon delivered within 48 hours :-)

Having the strange habit of reading books back-to-front, I saw there
are some significant additions to the script in the final chapter
concerning new UFO related merchandise, most intriguingly
a 'crossover' fiction story with Dr. Who that contains UFO
references.

It also states the proposed feature film remake from 2002 has
changed to a new series and should be quite advanced in production.
They probably need financial backing to get it off the ground (?)  
As for details, all I'll say is - doesn't sound much like UFO to me -
I would love to be proved wrong!

I guess it's only a matter of time..... ;-)

Forgive my ignorance, but what is the connection between a script and merchandise? TIA. : )

It's what happens when you read and write posts at the same time... ;-)

I think that if you want a movie or a TV series of UFO done right, there's only one company that's up for it - Harlington-Straker Productions!

But seriously, folks, wasn't there talk about a remake a year or two ago? IIRC it seemed to fizzle out after a while.
