The UK DVDs only have the IDENTIFIED and SUBSMASH commentaries, so the
A&E DVDs are better since they've got those KILL STRAKER and TIMELASH
commentaries. Also, the A&E sets have more of the unused audio/video
extras than the UK sets.

The UK sets are much stronger on things like behind-the-scenes photos,
publicity photos, merchandise photos, script excerpts from deleted
scenes, character bios, cast bios, etc. Also they've got much better
menus.

One of these days (if I ever get around to it), I'm going to write up a
comparison of all the various UFO DVD sets, as each one has something
unique to it!

And no, I don't think very many (if any) of the photos offered by Polly
Products appeared on any of the DVD sets. The DVD sets have different
photos. (which sort of indicates that there must be a vast, nearly
unlimited supply of UFO photos out there, although for the most part
companies seem to use the same ones over and over).

Also, the photos on the UK DVDs are dissappointing in that they only take
up about a quarter of the screen (poor resolution). There are examples
of this on my website, BTW.
