The Region 1 (A&E USA) UFO DVDs have two additional commentary tracks
that the UK sets do not -- Mike Billington/Alan Perry on KILL STRAKER,
and Sylvia Anderson/Wanda Ventham on TIMELASH. There may be a few
other extras... the "singing SID" was an outtake from IDENTIFIED.
In the original script, the Moonbase commander was male, and as a
hobby was teaching SID to sing. They actually recorded Mel Oxley
singing "Home on the Range" for this, and this is what that extra
feature is.
