Note that most of the "surround sound" (5.1) that was used with the
old Anderson series sounds terrible. They did NOT have the original
elements to do the job properly, so instead they did cheesy things
like add echo, turn the balance from left to right, etc. I recall
that the Space:1999 ones turned out the best, but in that case they
had separate music/dialog/effects tracks to work with.

Fortunately, UFO was released in mono in most countries. I have
the 5.1 mix on the Japanese DVDs, and it sounds terrible.
