Again truly baffled by the episode order of "UFO" on the dvds.
I must say that the voice over by George Sewell was a bit of a waste of time.
The DVDs have them in production order. There is no definitive broadcast order, as individual ITV regions showed them in different orders, and even showed different episodes on the same day (e.g. a viewer in the Granada region might see episode X while, on the same day, a viewer in Grampian saw episode Y). And some regions didn't broadcast all episodes on the first run either: they didn't show some until a repeat run in 1973 (I believe Anglia, where I then lived, was one of these). So the production order is really the only consistent one.
EDIT: The episodes Conflict (1-05), E.S.P. (1-06), and The Sound of Silence (1-07) all have the same first broadcast date, 7 October 1970, because of different regions mucking about with the order

It's quite surreal.
And the glorious Ms Drake* is only in 11 episodes, while George Sewell is in 17, presumably both due to the hiatus when the MGM studio closed.
Sewell was off doing something else when production resumed at Pinewood.
*Actually I find the other ladies with purple hair rather more interesting.
