Other than Fireball XL5, this programme UFO was my next favourite of all Gerry Andersons amazing programmes he and his partners made. The sound of that UFO still make my spine tingle, I'm 65yrs now and still love to watch all his creations - just fabulous memories, thank you Gerry 😊
People seem to always forget SID and the vital role he played in detecting UFOs. I am sure without SID we would all be wearing red space suits and breathing night nurse in our space helmets... let’s hear it for SID👍👏
#SpaceIntruderDetectorDay
Aliens missed a trick not blowing up SID.
gooscooby not a lot of people know this but SID moonlights as the Black Knight satellite once in a while? 😂😂😂
@@TheDavecroft Wasn't there an episode where SID was attacked and damaged?
You're thinking of the episode "The Man Who Came Back". Straker is almost killed during an EVA to repair it.
Along with the sound of the Tardis,the noise of the UFOs whisk me straight back to my childhood.Thought they made such a cool sound!
Lee Britnell I agree! Add the sound of Thunderbird 2’s boosters, the sound of a T.I.E. fighter’s ion engines and the sound of Airwolf’s engines to the list and I’m in heaven!
Same here. The sound of the UFOs stuck with me all these years.
Same here.
I can still do a very passable impression of the sound of a 'youfow'...
korrr'rwhackh, korrr'wackh, Korrrr'wackh...
.
Such a eeeeeery sound that once heard, haunts one forever.
.
Of course, we didn't realise until 1978 that; in space, no-one can hear you scream...
Could also add the sound of the spinning thingy Joe 90 Sat in.
UFO like most of the Anderson productions still look fresh and modern. A tribute to the creative genius of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson.Thankyou for a life time of memories.

I was a young kid about 13,watching UFO at home. The glory days!
Yah, I want them back!
I too was 13 at the time and when I saw the Lieutenant with that miniskirt on, well, I was 13.
@@eyecomeinpeace2707 Well, the miniskirt hasn't dated, that's for sure 😜
Love the design of these space ships. Even after 48 years, they look good. (:
I always loved lieutenant Ellis wonderfull girl 😍
I also like the design of Lieutenant Ellis and she looks good too after 48 years.
Those Purple Wigs 💜
As a kid I had a cassette player and recorded the open theme on it.
Loved this show as a Kid, it was magical. UFO stands the test of time,even today the show looks futuristic of sorts. Those Outfits!
This and Dark Shadows were my favorites.
Haha I recorded it as well all these years I thought maybe I was the only one Great show!
Guess main reaso for the wigs was those were fashionable back then. In those days my mother even had two of those in blond - and don´t forget JAMES BOND-DIAMONSD FEVER done at this aera - also with female wighs
Gerry Anderson's production values were always high - he could world build really well - I remember this scene vividly. BTW the Space probe looks like it was based on the US lunar orbiters.
Authentic dialogue.
I wonder what it would’ve been like if they were behind Doctor Who & Blake’s 7
@@Howyaduing Knowing the BBC it would have been about the same. . . they were pulling as much funding as possible for their flagship CoronationStreet. There is something kitsch about seeing Tom Baker running down the same corridor seven times.
The sound of those UFO's is so cool.
I was pretty small when the show aired but I have never forgotten that unique sound throughout my life.
I watched it when it first came out in Canada then bought the DVDs I still watch it on Amazon prime video. God bless Gerry Anderson
The only time in the whole series that a UFO turned around and went back home. How lucky for the tracking team. Even without details of the planet they should know exactly where it is located and there is at least some kind of repair facility there you would think. Not a complete failure at all. Love the show❤.
These "old" scifi shows STILL wow my imagination way more than any recent cgi movies/tv shows.
I love the jet sounds in space. The UFO sound too. Watched this show when I was young in the states on BBC. UFO, Space 1999 and Dr Who.
UFO, Space 1999 weren't produced or broadcast by the BBC. It was an ATV (Associated TeleVision) production, broadcast on ITV - Independant TeleVision.
.
Dr Who was the only BBC production.
British film and television productions have always excelled at using sound effects and instrumental soundtracks to enhance the visuals occurring on screen. The timing and nature of evocative "incidental music" is critical for eliciting an emotional stake in the story. So too is silence. Within just this segment, there are many examples of how this is done effectively.
Lt Ellis was the main reason i watched UFO.
Ed Bishop was always such a gentleman, and treated his fellow actors with great respect.
So many wonders and emotions! This TV series accompanied my childhood, even though it was broadcast incomplete in Italy at the time. It was only in the 1990s that I was able to see it again in colour and in its entirety. In some respects it looks a bit dated, but certain technologies are still beyond our reach.
The sense of wonder remains as intact today as it did then.
My personal nickname is an obvious homage to my favourite character.
Thanks to Gerry Anderson for making us dream.
UFO, Space 1999 and, of course, Dr. Who: unforgettable, inimitable, unsurpassed! 🙀
😻👍👍👍👍
I had one of the fighters when I was a kid. It was made by Dinky toys and it was Green. Of course I lost the torpedo. I also had two Eagles from Space 1999.
i remember watching this show when i was a kid, on saturday afternoons.
A wonderful series, although it is a bit dated, being made in 1970. I wish they had made more episodes.
@JZ's BFF I agree. The story writing was ahead of its time. Ive turned some younger people on to this show and they're blown away!
@JZ's BFF I was watching that show too! Really good ( sometimes funny, sometimes serious) storyline.
The Andersons really knew how to get into my head and imagination when I was a kid.
they can still get in my head and I'm older than this show
@FandersonUfo - Yes ... I think you’ll find that applies to quite a few of us! 👍😁
Sexual harassment claims were unheard of in 1980.
1980? Final episode 1973.
@@michaelfields1113 The series was set in the future of 1980
Forever in love with Lt Ellys...😀😀
Must of have been a bit confusing having The Purple Gang together. Gabrrielle Drake was LieuTenant Gaye Ellis. Lt Joan Harrington was played by Antonia Ellis.
Ok, so the scale is shot on the photos, but you know where the alien world is, or at least one of their bases. Next step is a manned expedition, heavily armed.
that guy Foster just radiated coolness. His coolness factor was off the coolness scale
Indeed.
Screen tested no less than three times for James Bond, but didn't get cast in any of them. He had a cameo in "The Spy Who Loved Me."
Ok hang on let me check that again... proceeds to zoom in on incredibly hot Lt. Once more 🤤
Note to UFO'S, next time bring four ships!
lol - not a bad idea but the special effects budget was limited to 3
As an adult now, I feel I previously failed to fully appreciate the technical abilities of Leut. Ellis.
One of my favourite episodes and one of the very best♥️
I always thought the Interceptors were pretty lame. Armed with a baddass missile but only one! That aside I loved UFO! It was always on late at night which meant I had to plead with my parents to allow me to stay up late to watch it. The sets, the vehicles, Mobiles, Skyone, Strakers gas turbine car, the music...but best of all was Gabrielle Drake as Lt. Ellis, surely every 70's schoolboy fantasy in silver PVC, lurex and a purple wig with that killer body...Phew!
Hey, they are always cool, being nuclear tipped.
The UFO's were travelling so much faster than the Interceptors, it was somewhat like a WW1 biplane trying to intercept a fighter going supersonic. But the Interceptors would use 3x nuclear missiles to try triangulate on at least one of the UFOs, if there were three of them. The nuclear explosions would make an electromagnetic pulse and put out very fast moving radioactive shrapnel debris - because there is virtually no shockwave in a vacuum.
a few episodes were banned before 12.00 midnight
Fabulous series, great modelling and effects for the time.
Ah, back in the good old days when a TV show could be made purely for entertainment purposes.
They did do a few really good psychological episodes also.
I love that gearing up for action music.....and how the pilots all slide down them chutes at the same time. Its comical.
Note how if one got into position first, he hesitated so that the others to sync up and they can jump in the tubes at the same time!
Looks rather expedient to me. Like the fire station poles
Yes...but how did they go from sliding to sitting in the cockpit?
This is one series i wish they would re-make ,with todays cgi etc' it would be amazing.
Used to watch this on Channel 27 , Worcester, Ma back in the day. Liked it so much, I bought the DVD bix set, before the price got crazy. Still watch it today. Get show. Love Gerry Anderson's work.
It makes me wonder to what extend this was informed by the battle for Britain in WW2. Like the 2D map of the trajectories of UFO and interceptors, and the communication between the base and the pilots
I would guess that UFO intercepts were closely modeled upon Battle of Britain techniques and methods - 🛸✨
No need to guess... I believe there is an interview with Gerry Anderson (or Sylvia) that explains the influence of the BoB 'Home Chain' defense system set up by ACM Hugh Dowding, on the scripting of UFO.
Even under close scrutiny the body work on lieutenant Eliis is extraordinary . Out of space station uniform she really buffs up well ........... 😛😀
Muy buena, la fantasía de la serie te trasladaba al espacio sideral. Todavía la disfruto.
From the episode "Close Up," written by Tony Barwick, who also wrote "Shadow of Fear," an episode of the Supermarionation series Captain Scarlet and The Mysterons. The Scarlet episode runs for only 20-odd minutes. Compare the two.
Sooo, did he have her waiting in that room all this time, in that pose to prove a point to Striker?
Lt. Ellis..(Gabrielle Drake) was my very first crush as a young boy...Wow what a beauty !! Her late brother also became a musical hero of mine Nick Drake.
that was a great program
9:58 Oh that lucky pillow she's about to sit on.
I'm wondering if the aliens didn't mess up that satelite somehow. With their level of technology they surely would have spotted that satelite, and the fact that they didn't blow it up seemed pretty odd. One blast from that ufo and that thing would have been scrap metal.
Had the same thought myself. I recall this episode from when the series first ran in the US many years ago now. Wish it had ran longer.
The only thing that save the probe is that the script was writing so that the UFOs didn't have Radar or Radio or even Windows..
I remember when this episode aired and I wondered how the probe could catch up to a UFO travelling at SOL 5, which I figured was 5 times lightspeed, with just a little chemical rocket.
It wasn't a satellite... It was a PROBE. Satellites are always in orbit around a planet; whereas probes go and explore other planets.
Yes,I agree!I like 👍 to watch:Ufo,too!And,I”m 62 year”s old!But,I”ve seen this serie”s since I was age:27!From:Des Moines,Iowa
I never understood how that UFO could NOT see this device following it back home and Not alerting their defense systems to have it blown to pieces once it entered it's defense perimeter.
It's called "suspension of disbelief." You're supposed to ignore plot holes. Just cheer for the good guys. 😃
send another probe to the same area, now that you know where it is.
Exactly. I first saw this episode when I was 10 and I thought the same thing "send another one". I liked and still like this show, mostly for its groovy 1960's vision of the future, but it had plot holes big enough to fly Sky Diver through.
Shhhhhhhh
I’ve seen episode many time’s!And,yes,it uses the;Journey to the far side of the Sun 🌞 music by;Barry Gray!I can’t believe,that Ufo is fourty eight year’s old!
filmed in 1969 and 1970 - it's over 50 years old now - 🛸
And,opp’s!I meant to say;I’ve seen this episode many time’s!(of Ufo).Yeah,here’s come’s my 4th Grade memory,again!I saw this particular episode after 3:30 p.m.after school ended.It was probably,in the spring that I saw this!It’s a classic!But,so,is;Journey to the far side of the 🌞 Sun!
OPP’s!My mistake!I guess,I can’t add!Thank you,Fanderson for the correct ☑️ number,here!Okay,now…..on with the show!📺👽👽👽👽👽😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
Episode is "CLOSE UP" and is one of the best.
You know the series sir. How often would Sci-Fi depict a multi-billion dollar failure in 1969. The story lines in this series were light years ahead of anything being broadcast at the time. Tragically only 26 episodes were made. Happy Good Friday Mr. Baird.
HR! You're going down, Mister! Just like old Havey!
It was just a cup of coffee for Christ's sake
I love this. The music is so Moody.
Barry Gray was the composer
@@FandersonUfo Barry Gray was literally a genius. It's a shame he didn't live longer and gift us with more wonderful music.
@@matthewblack7206 - I had no idea did he die young? As you say tragic loss of music he was brilliant.
@@FandersonUfo Mr Gray died in 1984.
Gerald Spratley UFO Soundtrack is out now! AWESOME Recording!!!
This could do with a re boot! Never noticed the door bell push buttons behind (right) of the interceptor pilot's head before!
Thats funny, Friedland D814 (ex electrician) that was the first thing I spotted too, though I didn't notice them back in the day! I think they must have had a box of those lying around or it would seem like an odd set-design choice: "You know the cockpit"? Yes... "You know what would look good behind the pilots head.... 36 doorbell pushes"! 🏆🚀
Probably best if they not reboot it. No telling what it would look like in today's environment.
Wish I could back in time and shake the hand of the costume designer. 😉
I loved this show! I have the SHADO patch on my winter hat, just waiting for someone to notice it and knows what it is!
🛸👽✨
Lt Ellis was an absolute beauty.
very good
Good show
Foretold “Hubble Telescope” Fiasco
The initial 'fiasco' maybe - Hubble was of course fixed and upgraded several times.
As a jid growing up with these shows it was all so exciting
better than the garbage now days
A rare moment of Lt. Ellis without the purple wig!
Today that middle scene would go straight to HR.
S Tho it's not a real
What, the part where Straker said "don't judge the end of a conversation"???
❤😊 Questa serie di telefilm mi accompagna ogni giorno della mia vita... fino alla morte...e oltre suppongo... Namu Amida Butsu Namu...😊❤
Gabrielle Drake we shared many of my young teen fantasies. She played in some risque films in the 70's and was not adverse to showing that sexy body off, minge and all. I always thought that purple wig suited her. She auditioned for the part of Jo Grant in Doctor Who but lost out to Katy Manning.
our loss, what a pity.
She's an orgasm on legs!
She stared in my favourate cartoon!

@@paulreeves7249 ...Man that chick was hot!!!!!!!
I love how the Doctor makes the Commander eat his words.
that tech just happens to have a picture of one of his co-workers' thighs to prove a point to Straker
It wasn't a picture, he had the young lady in there all this time waiting for the demo.
Commander Straker gave Gail full control of the sheparding of the ufo towards the orbit of the probe. As soon as he said this he walked straight over to the blokes who then coordinated the whole operation!
Muy buena serie lastima que no venga doblada en latino español me recuerda mucho mi infancia en los 70
In the distant future of 1980 it's a trip that nobody could have fathomed that we would be able to watch the world in the palm of our hands. And IT WOULD BE THOUSANDS OF S.I.D.S. and not just one.
Those moon chicks with purple hair and tight miniskirts were totally shagadelic.
Right on
The whole shaa bang was bloody fantastic
🛸👽✨
@@FandersonUfo to infinity and beyond
I like it.
"Firing minus five decimal two seconds" That's Numberwang !
This had a epic soundtrack much like space 1999.
It's amusing how they thought ANY of this stuff could be accomplished by 1980. Here we are 42 years after and STILL not possible. MOST sci-fi shows underestimate the time needed for technology to be developed. Did they ever explain why the moon women all had purple hair?

I was always happy when Gaye was in a scene. 🤗
Gerry Anderson got really good at "Supermarionation". Those puppets look just like real people. ;-)
Puppets also have less ego and take direction better than most actors.

How can you have missed one of the greatest TV shows ever.
@@dogwalker666 I grew up in Los Angeles in the 70's and 80's. I watched everything on every channel, but I'm seeing this for the first time as well. We got some Dr. Who, and Space 1999, but no UFO.
And nobody is going to mention the cool jazz that kicked in on the “`Red Alert”?
"Well done Gay... doing a man's job" Love the 1960's dialogue at 10.15... Somehow think that "pep talk" would go down like a bowl of sick today!
Wow
Loved the Purple hair
2:35 great music!

Straker couldnt have been that dumb to not know that the magnifications could be some of ANYTHING.
Time to play X-COM again., a game that used this series as its primary inspiration.
It is embarrassing how many hours I've played all the X-Com games. From the original to I'm sure a world record for X-Com2.

I think that a lot of this came true. 40.000 cattle mutilations in the USA in the seventies and eighties. They took out organs and eyes of the cattle. Hundred thousands of UFO sightings around the globe and the pentagon gave 3 videos of UFO sightings to the public. Greetings from Linz-Austria 🇦🇹😎👍🏔⛷❄️🥨🍺🛶🐺 Europe!

Gerry Andersen production FTW.
This is the roots of the first Star Wars movie. The special effects, models etc. Same techniques.
Yes the SFX people did work on starwars it was made in the same studio too.
Nice purple

Pensare che per quei tempi il futuro era il 1980 però su alcune cose avevano fatto diverse anticipazioni ,vedi il telefono in auto la cornetta wireless e poi in spazio 1999 quel telecomando che faceva di tutto persino collegare il computer centrale,gli Anderson erano geniali proprio per questi aspetti tecnologici,ricordo un dietro le quinte di spazio 1999 e spiegavano come facevano a trasmettere le immagini sul telecomando,un piccolo monitor CRT,e un cavo che passava nella manica del personaggio 😃
