Danger from the unknown? Menace from Outer Space? Fantastic new developments since man's conquest of the moon? Unidentified Flying Objects have become established and are believed to be a threat to the safety of Earth.

Who are they? Where do they come from? Who are the occupants and what do they want? S.H.A.D.O. has come into being not only to protect Earth from danger from outer space, but to protect the public from realising that such a danger exists.

UFO became Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's first live-action series - the 'supermarionation' strings were gone but the incredible special effects-model work and exciting, intelligent storylines remained, with Ed Bishop leading a talented ensemble cast including George Sewell, Michael Billington, Gabrielle Drake and Wanda Ventham. This 7-disc Blu-ray collection brings together all 26 episodes, restored in high-definition from the original film elements with an out-of-this-world assembly of Special Features. It's no surprise UFO was lauded at the time as being "the greatest ever space series!"
