It's not the full video release. It's just the Peter Davison linking material and interviews with people like Terry Nation, Raymond Cusick and Roy Skelton etc. There are a few clips from the show, but no full episodes. Total run-time 38.56

Been looking it up as i was composing this post.
The thirty minute six episode series was transmitted live so i bet it's extremely talky and even creakier than i imagined. |
Actually, it's very entertaining and moves at a cracking pace. Again, it's not the full episode, but the short run-time of 8.37 (including opening and closing credits) left me wanting more
I also think that the Alan Wicker episode about 'what makes horror, horror' could very easily have fitted in as an Arrow Films special feature
