Alien Evolution was a documentary that originally aired on UK TV channel 4.

Since this was released, however, 20th Century Fox have released the uncut Alien Evolution documentary on the Alien Anthology Blu-Ray set in 2010.
Alien Appendix 2: Alien Virtual Workprint
Years ago a fan editor made an edit of Alien re-inserting the known Deleted scenes of Alien, this was known as ‘Alien Redux’. Years later another fan has made a revamp of this edit from scratch using all known footage available to make a reconstructed virtual workprint. This version also uses unused musical scores and has alternate opening credits.
