Yep. I just did an A/B comparison with the Carlton SUB-SMASH
commentary. On the A&E version the pitch of his voice is
lower and he's talking slower. It's been slowed down. It's
really unfortunate, because both the Ed Bishop and Gerry
Anderson commentary sounded a bit sluggish originally.
Having them slowed down even further make these commentaries
almost intolerable! :-(

Also, I've had a chance to properly spot-check all the
chapters on all the episodes on A&E's UFO DVD Set 2,
and the audio and video quality is fine. There are no
PAL-speedups, no audio screwups in the mastering
phase, and these all are the new digitally remastered
versions. All appears to be fine.

I did notice a mistake on the back of the packaging though
-- it says that the SUB-SMASH commentary is by Gerry
Anderson. No Ed Bishop commentary is mentioned on
the packaging!
