The first live-action television series from the legendary creators of Stingray and Thunderbirds, Gerry and Sylvia Anderson, UFO is to be released on Blu-ray-ray in a new HD restoration in November, courtesy of Network Distributing.

1980. After ten years development in top secrecy, SHADO – Supreme Headquarters Alien Defence Organisation – goes live.
