Wow! I've only seen the first ep, but right at the beginning there are two people shot with plenty of blood. And then there's all the scary talk about the aliens mutilating bodies and harvesting organs. I can't imagine my 5yo son watching this show (and I'm fairly liberal in what I let him see and what I teach and explain to him). He would be seriously scared all the time after hearing that stuff. Funny thing is, I always thought the US always allowed more violence on TV than anywhere else. But, apparently the UK at least had us beat in 69, unless there's a more violent US show from 69 that I'm not aware of. And, to top it off, they made toys for this show, so they were purposefully targeting it to kids in addition to adults.

Turns out I was wrong: UFO was sold in syndication to 136 stations in the US in 72 (no network picked it up, but some network stations individually picked it up in syndication). I have to say that UFO was one of the coolest TV shows I've seen--although nowhere near as good as The Prisoner. The UK always had better culture than the US. Without black people, the US would barely have any worthwhile culture. I didn't realize until today that Space: 1999 was done by much of the same team and grew out of a failed 2nd series for UFO. I loved Space: 1999 as a young child.

This show is so fabulous!! I've enjoyed everything the Anderson's created.

Thanks a million for posting these! Loved this series as an 8 year old at a time when there wasn't much in the way of SciFi series on New Zealand TV back in the 70s. Remembered Friday nights being my favorite night because of this series. Thanks again

I also Love the Episodes featuring the S.H.A.D.O. Skydiver Submarine.

Of all of them, SID-1 was the best actor. ;) SID-1 was always my favourite part of that show. I practically lived to hear SID-1's voice calmly reporting on the approach of a UFO. I felt like that was a fairly realistic representation of how an A.I. would be programmed (socially, it's better to have a machine behave a bit like a human rather than force a human to behave more like a machine). I was quite upset (at least internally) when SID-1 got blasted out of orbit by a UFO and had to be replaced by SID-2. I never did quite understand how a single satellite could possibly cover all angles of approaching the Earth all of the time. I guess I put it down to Fictional Physics.

My Sci Fi Web Series. Probably not? That's not how being "advanced" works. It doesn't mean that you're better in all things. Just because the aliens had ability to create a craft that could travel at the speed of light does not mean that their ability to encrypt/decrypt data parallels it. In fact they may not even know what encryption is. Who's to say they even had a need for it? Heck, as far as understanding what information they transmit their language is probably as alien as they are, which would act as encryption all on its own.

Such a amazing special effect in old time.

I grew up in Scotland in the early 70s as my father was stationed in Dunoon and I never knew this existed. Then later I watched Space 1999 and was a very big fan in the USA. If I did watch this I was too young and forgot about it. I ended up loving Space 1999 because my parents always watched it as it came out in the USA. And they did not like the fact I would not go to bed and stay up to watch it with them. I still love Space 1999 and watched it and had them all at one time on VSH. To see this and how much it is alike was a surprise at first. Space 1999 was much better yet it is nice to see where it started and what they learned that made it so great.

Basically, aliens don’t stand a chance against humans. I mean, the humans of the SHADO group.

UFO, the cheap remake of Thunderbirds but with actors instead of puppets. For me the series is interesting only to learn how the makers of the series thought about the audience and how cheap the means were to produce to series. Even the German series "Raumpatrouille" was more advanced in some parts. But of course in UFO the skirts were shorter and it was in color.

It is probably authentic Royal Naval equipment that was current when the series was filmed in 1970. I am not an expert but it looks like protection against burns from fire or explosion.
