One of my earliest memories was running in the rain with a slice of pizza to the university common room where I hoped they would be watching UFO. My mom insisted she watch Masterpiece Theater on our tiny B&W TV set, which was on at the same time as UFO. I ran in the rain, got to the common room. The university students were not watching UFO and would not change it because some 5-year-old kid wanted to watch. I went without and ate cold, wet pizza by myself in the cafe.
I loved this show as a 9 year old just amazing how it entranced me! RIGHT around the 33:00 minute mark the UFO had landed in Canada and that may have had something to do with the fact this show did well here in early 70's!
Me. likevmany young Germans at that time were not aloud to see it in those yeas because NOT YOUTHFREE and because of the time it was running on TV. I watched it a few years later when I got older. Still I had collected all I could find about the show from beginning on like the VIEWMASTER PHOTOS.
Can't believe I never heard of this! But growing up with Stingray and Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, I felt I was watching a live action version on those programmes; turns out that's exactly what is was! Good ol' Gerry & Sylvia Anderson 😊
Left out Fireball XL5, Supercar. Then their was what followed, Space 1999. Many of the shots in the feature film "Meteor" had a Gerry Anderson look, but I'm not sure about that.
It may be an unpopular opinion, but 2023 needs more Nehru jackets, turtlenecks, and minis to get us back on track! UFO and Space 1999 were instrumental in making me the sci-fi fan.
Funny, I used to fantasise about the space ships and tanks. Something must have stuck in my subconscious because long-haired women in tight clothes, and gullwing cars are seriously hot. Not sure about the purple wigs, or why they wore them on the moon.
There's a lot of great stuff in entertainment going all the way back to the late 19th century. The old carbon arc lights, the costumes, "The roar of the greasepaint, and the smell of the crowd!" (sic) "Barbershop" quartets and tight harmonies. Burlesque, Vaudeville ("A little song, a little dance, a little seltzer down your pants"). The earliest silent films. "Moving pictures" were brand new; nobody knew what they were doing, there was no "formula"; it was all experimental. Later, the classic comedies of film: Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Fatty Arbuckle, Harold Lloyd, W.C. Fields, the SIZZLING Mae West; Laurel & Hardy, Abbott and Costello, the 3 Stooges, the Marx Brothers, the Little Rascals, the Bowery Boys. The Epics, like "Lawrence of Arabia". The classic horror movies of the '30s; Frankenstein, Dracula, Wolf Man, the Mummy; early sci-fi, Buck Rogers; the classic gangster flicks, Jimmy Cagney, Edward G. Robinson. Westerns: Tom Mix and Hoot Gibson. It's almost limitless.And this is just from the 1890s to the 1930s. I didn't even TOUCH the '40s and beyond (although some of the stuff I mentioned did extend into the '40s, '50s, and even the '60s.) Someone like you might enjoy exploring.
@kellyrobinson1780 Thanks Kelly! I’m familiar with a lot of those names, especially Edward G Robinson, always one of my favorites. I enjoy watching the oldies but I had never even heard mention of this series, thus my surprise! I guess British TV didn’t make it to rural Tennessee back in the day. Great stuff for sure!
@@DougForce Ah. Got it. British TV, '60s? The Avengers. Spy-ish. Very cool. Diana Rigg 😍 'Nuff said. (10 bonus points for anyone who can say how they came up with the the name of the character played by Rigg, Mrs. Emma Peel.)
i loved this show when it came out, bought the DVD set of it some 15+ yrs ago, and still love watching it. it was ahead of its time in a dozen ways, and while showing its age, its still an epically good, well directed, written, and acted show for the most part. i have 5 decades of sci fi under my belt, ive gotten to automatically start talking to the screen things like " wait, why have you not called for back up already ? youre a squadron of 3 craft, you never send 1 in alone".. or "ok, why did you fire one rocket and just go "OK, hit the target, they are still airborne".. what the ..?? lolol.. i mean, seriously, if you HIT your target, its SLOWING down, you go in for the kill shot.. not simply bank away, and call Control to say" Yup, hit it, its still flying though, good luck on the ground finding it:".. yea,, i never "thought" much when i watched it, i just enjoyed it was Sci Fi.. so... its still good, you just have to overlook, it wasnt a massive budget show when compared to todays epics, vast/constant use of miniatures, repetitive "cut scenes" to save money, but doing its best at the time.. the quality and attention to detail of the miniatures, was actually pretty damn good for the time.. just allow for the era when it comes to clothes and makeup.. personally, i thought they looked nicely futuristic.. loved the gals purple wigs and silver suits. they had genuine Foxes on that show, and many of them, in positions of authority.
So i take it you loved the show, and what's not to love really? You might already know this, but "UFO" and another sci-fi TV show called "Space: 1999" were produced in Britain, by the the team of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson. This same "power couple" also created several other 1960's television shows, that made extensive use of scale models including "Captain Scarlet", "Thunderbirds" and "Sting ray". The fact "UFO" only got 26 shows before being cancelled is a shame! The show was just improving with every episode and it could have been even better, but just never got the chance...
@@robertmaybeth3434 UFO was epic and way ahead of its time.. not to mention so freaking kewl... yea.. it was just hitting its stride.. and boom.. axe falls.. 😞
The intro music was inspirational. The outro always left me wanting more. So far ahead of its time in so many ways. A miracle it was commissioned too….
I watched this when it was originally on and loved the show and was so disappointed when no network or syndicate renewed it for a second season and I had a horrible crush on Gabrielle Drake. I was 18 then and 71 now. Thank you for posting this and I subscribed. I have a Shado appreciation scroll someone created on Ebay and several t shirts with the Shado logo on them.
Oh, Come ON man! No 'healthy', 'red-blooded', 'teenaged', male, no matter their nationality, could've had a "horrible crush", on Lt. Gay Ellis! (As portrayed by the Ravishingly luscious Miss Gabrielle Drake!) A "painfully unrequited" crush, yes! But horrible, I seriously doubt it, friend.
Love this. I remember, even as a kid, I thought if the aliens sent _four_ UFOs instead of three, the moonbase fighter ships with their one bomb each would be screwed.
Knowing that it takes the moon a month to circle the earth, I always wondered why they didnt attack from the other side so moonbase was eclipsed. I assume SID and moonbase orbited opposite each other, but I dont think canon establishes it. And of course the Soviets must have been laughing their butts off since the UFOs always attacked NATO countries.
They had other lines of defense, didn't they? If interceptors 1, 2, and 3 missed, they had that crazy looking submarine that would tilt back and launch a underwater fighter plane like a torpedo. It would burst up though the surface and fly normally through the air like an F-15 or Thunderbird 4. If the UFO landed, the final line of defense were those slow moving treaded land vehicles. I remember seeing them moving though the woods doing stuff against UFOs.
Was a kid when I watched this and was a fan. Never realized how expensive it must have been to make. Besides the various sets and special effect vehicles; there were A LOT of characters with speaking roles!

This is astounding quality visually. From the technology of 1969-70 to this is remarkable. Gabrielle has never looked better. Even Ed Bishop and his cigarette smoking looks time correct. It all interlaces the live action with the modelling far better than the original. Hats off to the software programmer who facilitated the conversion of a schoolboy classic.

I'm German and I want to say Thank you! Long before Tomb Raider you gave us this great entertaining serie in the early 70 th. It was cool, very British and sexy... Thank you Great Britain for all the fun ! 👌👍
@@stevesteve8098 Thank you, we should be aware of the engineering achievements of all western countries. Many European nations have given us technical achievements that have made our lives easier. Let's think of James Watt, Sir Isaac Newton, Mister Bernoulli, then Keppler's laws, the industrial use of iron and steel by the British, the telephone and Morse code, the production of electrical energy by the Siemens and Westinghouse generator, diesel and gasoline engines, the Internet of the US Army, penezilin and so much more...
Have visited the Marshal Space Museum in Huntsville, AL is so cool how they have all these V2 rocket engines brought over from Germany that were modified and used in many early missiles and rockets (took a few years for US to start developing its own competent rocket engines). I got to briefly live next door to one of the German rocket scientists that was then retired - nice guy. Werner Von Braun still highly regarded in that town. The USA space program proceeded directly off of the German rocket program - in both hardware and rocket scientists.
Purple wigs as part of the uniform. Very interesting concept. Visually appealing for TV. An unexplainable mystery for the story. There were other things going on equally as quirky. Two different mindsets at play: one for the TV viewers, and one for the story and characters.
This a real mid 60's English si-fi classic! Love the costumes, set design , costumes styles and the music track. Classic kind of MST3k feature. I see this as a yank and I love it...

@@BlueBeeMCMLXI I read some of your other posts. You’re an angry person. If you’re old enough to remember this show, you should make peace with whatever it that’s eating you up inside. Time is not on your side.
@@ghostdogzx-1474Reading your posts tells me that you never had much control in life. You most likely considered yourself as a "nice" person while others saw you as a doormat.

This has been enhanced and upgraded some of the effects: the UFO passing Mars is new, the redocking of Sky Diver is new, and I am sure a few other tweaks have been done and I am only 24.20 in, very nice work.
When I was a kid, I thought the Moonbase ladies were human / alien hybrids with purple hair. Little did I realize that the purple wigs were standard issue with the Moonbase duty uniforms for the command staff.
It was never explained, but it would make sense that in space with ridiculously high interception speeds, the warheads would be nukes - and relatively massive compared to the launching craft. But of course the show did what it did for dramatic effect.
The existence of the UFO was supposed to be kept secret. The entire SHADO thing is an operation undercover, disguised as a TV studios. Henceforth the limited resources (think how expensive was making all these perfect miniatures). Suspension of disbelief is required...
18:10 I always love how fake computers in movies always have tape drives where both reels move in unison, like an audio tape. Except when "rewinding" (which is a high speed thing - you couldnt hardly tell which way they are turning) that is pretty much the only thing that computer tape drives do NOT do. Theres a capstan that drives the tape across the heads but it moves at a low(ish) speed and is fed by vacuum columns where air suction pulls the tape (on both sides) down and when they expose an electric eye at the top that reel does a quick burst movement until it covers up another eye at the bottom which makes it slam to a stop. The other side does the same thing but in reverse pulling the tape out, but there is no connection between the reels movements.
@natehill8069 I don't think that's correct. Any reel-to-reel mechanism will have the reels move at different speeds except for the exact instance you are at the center of the length of media. It's a matter if simple geometry. At every point where there is more media on the left, the outside band of material is larger than the outside circle on the right. One rotation on the left will be more than rotation on the right. So the smaller side has to go faster to keep up. Forward or rewinding doesn't even matter. This principal is how bicycle gears do what they do.
@@keninnewmexico8763 Nate is talking about *computer* reel-to-reel tapes, not audio ones. I've worked with equipment like that in computer centers, and what Nate describes about the vacuum columns and a capstan to move the tape rapidly across the read/write head is accurate. It's magnetic tape though; the "electric eye" thing that he describes is used to know where the end and beginning of a tape is so that the machine doesn't just run the tape off the reel. A reflective bit of tape is placed on one edge of the tape or the other, to signify the load point or end of tape. When the "eye" sees a reflection one one edge or the other, it knows it's at the start of where the data is going to be written or read, or at the end. The capstan moves the tape back and forth as needed across the read/write head much faster than the reels would be able to react. Thus the vacuum columns which give things time to move accordingly while allowing quicker access to the data on the tape.
I was initially trying to skip to the timestamps listed to study this Gabrielle (for science) but I just keep getting caught up in the darn story. Thank you for posting.
Lost in Space was the exact opposite. When Angela Cartwright (Penny Robinson) began to grow up, Irwin Allen provided a shin-length skirt for her. He didn't want his show to be a cheesecake factory.

I concur.
I remember this excellent series as a child... and aside mention, those ladies were very beautiful...
I always wanted to meet purple-haired women from the moon! 😍😍😍😍
Me. likevmany young Germans at that time were not aloud to see it in those yeas because NOT YOUTHFREE and because of the time it was running on TV. I watched it a few years later when I got older. Still I had collected all I could find about the show from beginning on like the VIEWMASTER PHOTOS.
Women always look good
Yes. With that make-up and colored hair it's quite easy.
@@RonaldWall-yw3hxBut not Always
Can't believe I never heard of this! But growing up with Stingray and Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, I felt I was watching a live action version on those programmes; turns out that's exactly what is was! Good ol' Gerry & Sylvia Anderson 😊
Yea Stingray was my favorite
I was going to ask - why does this have such heavy "Thunderbird" vibes? (It's the only one of the programs you listed that I saw here in the U.S.)
complete with wooden actors
Left out Fireball XL5, Supercar. Then their was what followed, Space 1999. Many of the shots in the feature film "Meteor" had a Gerry Anderson look, but I'm not sure about that.
Captain Scarlet?
Das ist so cool 🤗👍😎

I like how Straker's car seems to have anticipated the AMC New Matador in the US. This series is so much more interesting than Space 1999.
Serie favorita en mi niñez, muy adelantados a los tiempos, genial
I wonder how many times the set and clothing designers for 'Austin Powers' referenced this show...
I was waiting for him to just pop up
Yeah baby
It may be an unpopular opinion, but 2023 needs more Nehru jackets, turtlenecks, and minis to get us back on track! UFO and Space 1999 were instrumental in making me the sci-fi fan.
@carlosrodriguez-dd4sb they will never come back... I think mini was one of the great inventions of mankind!
It’s those darn USB Flash drives instead of Reel-To-Reel Computer Tape. Ruined everything!
Same here, UFO and especially Space 1999. Though Star Trek TOS was the springboard for me.
Silver minis. You forgot to say silver minis.
Hahaha I remember when all that was in style. IF you tried coming out with a show like this nowadays some people would burst into flames.
What a pleasant surprise. First time I have watched this ever. Super dee duper cool
“About as much cloud cover as a G string on a belly dancer” Fabulous!
True
Lucky to be old enough to remember this series - and how much I fantasized being 'stuck' on the Moon with these babes!
Funny, I used to fantasise about the space ships and tanks. Something must have stuck in my subconscious because long-haired women in tight clothes, and gullwing cars are seriously hot. Not sure about the purple wigs, or why they wore them on the moon.
@@EponaDreams-AmbientDreamscapes wigs .. kinky! .. spot-on my idea of a Moon base! ... 😊

I’ve never seen or heard of this before! What a great show! Thanks for sharing this!
There's a lot of great stuff in entertainment going all the way back to the late 19th century. The old carbon arc lights, the costumes, "The roar of the greasepaint, and the smell of the crowd!" (sic) "Barbershop" quartets and tight harmonies. Burlesque, Vaudeville ("A little song, a little dance, a little seltzer down your pants"). The earliest silent films. "Moving pictures" were brand new; nobody knew what they were doing, there was no "formula"; it was all experimental. Later, the classic comedies of film: Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Fatty Arbuckle, Harold Lloyd, W.C. Fields, the SIZZLING Mae West; Laurel & Hardy, Abbott and Costello, the 3 Stooges, the Marx Brothers, the Little Rascals, the Bowery Boys. The Epics, like "Lawrence of Arabia". The classic horror movies of the '30s; Frankenstein, Dracula, Wolf Man, the Mummy; early sci-fi, Buck Rogers; the classic gangster flicks, Jimmy Cagney, Edward G. Robinson. Westerns: Tom Mix and Hoot Gibson. It's almost limitless.And this is just from the 1890s to the 1930s. I didn't even TOUCH the '40s and beyond (although some of the stuff I mentioned did extend into the '40s, '50s, and even the '60s.) Someone like you might enjoy exploring.
@kellyrobinson1780 Thanks Kelly! I’m familiar with a lot of those names, especially Edward G Robinson, always one of my favorites. I enjoy watching the oldies but I had never even heard mention of this series, thus my surprise! I guess British TV didn’t make it to rural Tennessee back in the day. Great stuff for sure!

i loved this show when it came out, bought the DVD set of it some 15+ yrs ago, and still love watching it. it was ahead of its time in a dozen ways, and while showing its age, its still an epically good, well directed, written, and acted show for the most part. i have 5 decades of sci fi under my belt, ive gotten to automatically start talking to the screen things like " wait, why have you not called for back up already ? youre a squadron of 3 craft, you never send 1 in alone".. or "ok, why did you fire one rocket and just go "OK, hit the target, they are still airborne".. what the ..?? lolol.. i mean, seriously, if you HIT your target, its SLOWING down, you go in for the kill shot.. not simply bank away, and call Control to say" Yup, hit it, its still flying though, good luck on the ground finding it:"..
yea,, i never "thought" much when i watched it, i just enjoyed it was Sci Fi..
so... its still good, you just have to overlook, it wasnt a massive budget show when compared to todays epics, vast/constant use of miniatures, repetitive "cut scenes" to save money, but doing its best at the time.. the quality and attention to detail of the miniatures, was actually pretty damn good for the time..
just allow for the era when it comes to clothes and makeup.. personally, i thought they looked nicely futuristic.. loved the gals purple wigs and silver suits. they had genuine Foxes on that show, and many of them, in positions of authority.
So i take it you loved the show, and what's not to love really? You might already know this, but "UFO" and another sci-fi TV show called "Space: 1999" were produced in Britain, by the the team of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson. This same "power couple" also created several other 1960's television shows, that made extensive use of scale models including "Captain Scarlet", "Thunderbirds" and "Sting ray". The fact "UFO" only got 26 shows before being cancelled is a shame! The show was just improving with every episode and it could have been even better, but just never got the chance...
@@robertmaybeth3434 UFO was epic and way ahead of its time.. not to mention so freaking kewl... yea.. it was just hitting its stride.. and boom.. axe falls.. 😞

I was 11 when this series aired. Yes. Yes they did.
My bedroom wall looked like a Jackson Pollock painting.
I watched this when it was originally on and loved the show and was so disappointed when no network or syndicate renewed it for a second season and I had a horrible crush on Gabrielle Drake.

...just brilliant - a masterpiece!
Very ahead of it time it brings me back to wen I was young kid
Love this. I remember, even as a kid, I thought if the aliens sent _four_ UFOs instead of three, the moonbase fighter ships with their one bomb each would be screwed.
I was just thinking the same thing!
it's been hanting me since back then !
Knowing that it takes the moon a month to circle the earth, I always wondered why they didnt attack from the other side so moonbase was eclipsed. I assume SID and moonbase orbited opposite each other, but I dont think canon establishes it.
And of course the Soviets must have been laughing their butts off since the UFOs always attacked NATO countries.
They had other lines of defense, didn't they? If interceptors 1, 2, and 3 missed, they had that crazy looking submarine that would tilt back and launch a underwater fighter plane like a torpedo.
It would burst up though the surface and fly normally through the air like an F-15 or Thunderbird 4.
If the UFO landed, the final line of defense were those slow moving treaded land vehicles. I remember seeing them moving though the woods doing stuff against UFOs.
@@RaptorFromWeegeethat's Sky-Diver, Sky being the launch able aircraft component.
Was a kid when I watched this and was a fan. Never realized how expensive it must have been to make. Besides the various sets and special effect vehicles; there were A LOT of characters with speaking roles!
$10 a day actors, a 3D printer and some video editing software you could make this show in your Garage today.
I like it better than Space1999
I imagine cigarettes were cheap though.
Cigarettes were like 25 cents a pack and free matches of course. That was 1967

This is astounding quality visually. From the technology of 1969-70 to this is remarkable. Gabrielle has never looked better. Even Ed Bishop and his cigarette smoking looks time correct. It all interlaces the live action with the modelling far better than the original. Hats off to the software programmer who facilitated the conversion of a schoolboy classic.
Wait... this IS the original footage. No effects were applied 👍🏻
@@PauloPereira-jj4jv really? In 1970 they had resolution like that? Too long ago to remember clearly but seems highly unlikely a digital transfer would not have major image resolution enhancement applied? Either way it’s a great copy.

My uncle Lewis was stationed at Lexfield airbase when he was in the royal canadian space force. He says there is a big maple syrup factory near there. That's probly what the ufo was after.

Have visited the Marshal Space Museum in Huntsville, AL is so cool how they have all these V2 rocket engines brought over from Germany that were modified and used in many early missiles and rockets (took a few years for US to start developing its own competent rocket engines). I got to briefly live next door to one of the German rocket scientists that was then retired - nice guy. Werner Von Braun still highly regarded in that town. The USA space program proceeded directly off of the German rocket program - in both hardware and rocket scientists.
@@TheSulross Thank you very much Sir !
Purple wigs as part of the uniform. Very interesting concept. Visually appealing for TV. An unexplainable mystery for the story.
There were other things going on equally as quirky. Two different mindsets at play: one for the TV viewers, and one for the story and characters.

When I was a kid, I thought the Moonbase ladies were human / alien hybrids with purple hair. Little did I realize that the purple wigs were standard issue with the Moonbase duty uniforms for the command staff.
Even as a kid I wondered why only 3 interceptors and the only Sky One. What was, the airforce doing?
and why they each only had one missle?
It was the British air-force so they were resting on their laurels.
It was never explained, but it would make sense that in space with ridiculously high interception speeds, the warheads would be nukes - and relatively massive compared to the launching craft. But of course the show did what it did for dramatic effect.
The existence of the UFO was supposed to be kept secret. The entire SHADO thing is an operation undercover, disguised as a TV studios. Henceforth the limited resources (think how expensive was making all these perfect miniatures).
Suspension of disbelief is required...
18:10 I always love how fake computers in movies always have tape drives where both reels move in unison, like an audio tape. Except when "rewinding" (which is a high speed thing - you couldnt hardly tell which way they are turning) that is pretty much the only thing that computer tape drives do NOT do. Theres a capstan that drives the tape across the heads but it moves at a low(ish) speed and is fed by vacuum columns where air suction pulls the tape (on both sides) down and when they expose an electric eye at the top that reel does a quick burst movement until it covers up another eye at the bottom which makes it slam to a stop. The other side does the same thing but in reverse pulling the tape out, but there is no connection between the reels movements.
Man! It's a movie!😁
@natehill8069 I don't think that's correct. Any reel-to-reel mechanism will have the reels move at different speeds except for the exact instance you are at the center of the length of media. It's a matter if simple geometry. At every point where there is more media on the left, the outside band of material is larger than the outside circle on the right. One rotation on the left will be more than rotation on the right. So the smaller side has to go faster to keep up. Forward or rewinding doesn't even matter. This principal is how bicycle gears do what they do.
@@keninnewmexico8763 Nate is talking about *computer* reel-to-reel tapes, not audio ones. I've worked with equipment like that in computer centers, and what Nate describes about the vacuum columns and a capstan to move the tape rapidly across the read/write head is accurate. It's magnetic tape though; the "electric eye" thing that he describes is used to know where the end and beginning of a tape is so that the machine doesn't just run the tape off the reel. A reflective bit of tape is placed on one edge of the tape or the other, to signify the load point or end of tape. When the "eye" sees a reflection one one edge or the other, it knows it's at the start of where the data is going to be written or read, or at the end. The capstan moves the tape back and forth as needed across the read/write head much faster than the reels would be able to react. Thus the vacuum columns which give things time to move accordingly while allowing quicker access to the data on the tape.
