OVERALL: Draw
Both releases contain exclusive contextual material: Network's release contains an extended documentary and 'The Crossfire', a rather good television play featuring Wyngarde in a key role (not to mention extensive stills galleries and the usual textless material). On the other hand, Umbrella's DVD set contains exclusive commentary tracks (including involvement by Peter Wyngarde) and introductions to some of the episodes.
