The special features on the Network UFO Blu-ray?   I have mixed feelings on these, as I think I they spent a fair amount of money on special features that could have been better spent doing a competent film-to-video transfer of the entire series.

As I recall, there were some throwaway documentaries that we could have done without.  And there was a book, which I have nothing against a book but I don't think it should have been a major special feature on a video release.  I think the only special features I appreciated were the extensive photo galleries (although the resolution on these photos could have been better), the raw footage from the episode titles (without the text overlayed), the raw special effects footage, and the "Tomorrow Today" segment which featured Sylvia Anderson and Antonia Ellis, seen for the first time in HD.
