Well, in the case of the commentary tracks, Carlton paid for
2 commentary tracks (Ed and Gerry's), and wasn't willing to
pay for any more. A&E got these commentaries for free, so they
spent some of their own money on 2 more commentaries. I've
heard that A&E paid far less for their commentaries than
Carlton did. A bit ironic, since the A&E commentaries are
better than the Carlton ones.

As for the video outtakes, this one's a bit of a mystery.
Presumably the video outtakes that appear on the A&E and
TF1 UFO DVDs were available to Carlton. So it appears
that Carlton Video decided not to use them. Perhaps
after all those other extras they had put on, they
decided there wasn't enough room for these? Or perhaps
they decided that they weren't sufficiently interesting?
Or perhaps it was a simply a mistake (breakdown in
communications, etc.).
