The Year: 1980 (well that is the time it was set, 10 years into the future as it was then) EXPOSED: https://youtu.be/Dq2xBTM9K10?si=GJH19...xBLzydelim NOT the 1st episode. If you want to know why, you can ask me... Tonight, I choose to celebrate the coming together of the UFO triumvirate: Ed Straker, Alec Freeman and Paul Foster. Test pilot Foster 'stumbles'...well, crashes, into the most carefully kept secret of the time: that aliens are visiting Earth for their own nefarious reasons. UFO had some well known guest stars and a very decent regular cast. They have a submarine like Stingray but the only strings belong to the vests the sub crew wear. Even the women... Join us for Gerry & Sylvia Anderson's 1st tv series with real actors and no puppets. And Barry Gray delivers a cracking feem toon, too. Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

Irritatingly and ironically, I've got to F.O. into Oxford this afternoon and may not be back in time. U.F.On without me, of course. Edit: Didn't realise UFO featured Alan Freeman. Stay bright! Edited by Cygnus Bazza on 26-06-2025 14:26 |

Fluff off pop picker cyggie! That's quite polite, for you. I feel like Blake bursting into that empty room in 'Pressure Headache'. I mean 'Pressure Point'. |

Suggestion: on-the-spot fine for any of us who uses the phrase “ahead of its time” tonight. Make this mandatory for all rewatches. |

Rats. I typed a really good snarky post for you both but somehow managed to delete it. Anyway, I hope you managed to find Oxford CB, and that you'll make it back in time. Hope OSP is in a better mood than yesterday, too.
