Since DMC doesn't typically include extras, the DVD supplements will likely be missing from the BD. These included: the UK theatrical release, the original TV episode previews, the Wonderful World of Color title sequence, Walt's intros and closing comments, a Leonard Maltin introduction, the documentary "Dr. Syn: History of The Legend" (containing the last interview with Patrick McGoohan before his death) and widescreen versions of Walt's introductions.

Wow, so you are saying the 1.66 theatrical cut has more picture than the 1.33 broadcast cut? That is to say the broadcast version is a cropped image of the theatrical release?

Hrmmmm well that is a pickle. I tend to prefer original theatrical/broadcast ratio, in which case I would argue that the three part episode cut should be shown in 1.33 and the theatrical cut should be shown in 1.66....but if the 1.33 image is just a crop of the 1.66 image, that does make it harder.....
