OVERALL: Draw
Identical specs, both have the booklet so it comes down to your choice of packaging.
Note:
The original master video tapes were wiped before 1969, the 16mm telecine film recordings of all four episodes were junked by 1978, possibly earlier. A single copy of episode three "Air Lock" was later found to exist in private hands in 2011.
The animation was done 2020-21. -
