The first live-action TV series from Gerry and Sylvia Anderson, 1970's UFO remains a benchmark sci-fi production. Long-awaited on Blu-ray, it’s presented here in a new HD restoration, with all 26 episodes, and a wealth of bonus extras.
After 10 years development in top secrecy, Supreme Headquarters Alien Defence Organisation (aka SHADO) goes live on 16 September 1980. Its aim - to combat the threat of an alien invasion from a dying race that abducts humans to repair their own decaying bodies.
