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!

That's quite polite, for you.

I feel like Blake bursting into that empty room in 'Pressure Headache'. I mean 'Pressure Point'.

Defied the odds. Even deified the odds. Are you better today?

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

Yes. My nerve endings are back to a relative norm.

I would be quite pleased if anyone said that since I am fed up of people saying it's dated.

But that's its charm, I'd have thought.

I always think it's style makes it ageless?

A bit like Gene Hunt. Cool!

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.
