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 😊
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. .
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!
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...

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👍👏
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.
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.
@@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 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❤.
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! 🙀 😻👍👍👍👍
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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
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.
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"! 🏆🚀
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.
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!
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!
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.
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!
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.
Hello. This is Bo and Peep of Heavens Gate. We have been toodling along behind Comet Hale Bopp and we are looking for a new comet to ride. *Flying saucer sounds*
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.
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.

patimuse I did a few searches for your question hoping to find some sort of answer for you. Wish I could have found something. I've been around a long time and other than this show I've never heard anyone else use 'U-Foe'. You may be correct that it was a British thing.

I figured that it was a combination of the British accent and the rapid urgency during the alert sequence that cause the sounds to run into each other; on the slower moments, I can hear each letter. In any case they're appropriately referring to enemy "foes" and the writers may have intentionally been playing with us - lol
Yes, to answer the question. Up to the Seventieth British accents and British locations had been much more in fashion as American sites in a lot of SF novells and movies. Guess it had been thought this kind of filming appealed more to an international audience. Aso, and you are absolutly right up to the Seventieth the British movie and TV makers had been much more active in this field. Also the expressions; for example the British word IMP or IMPOSSIBLE for ALIEN started to disappear after some years.[ For example QUATERMASS AND THE PIT, 1958/59 also seen in my youth - also still on RUclips} UFO and SPACE 1999 were good examples for it, also shows for a younger audience as the minni series THE TRIPDODS ( in German seen under the translated title DIE DREIBEINIGEN HERRSCHER )
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 😃

These "old" scifi shows STILL wow my imagination way more than any recent cgi movies/tv shows.
Fabulous series, great modelling and effects for the time.
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! 👍😁
i remember watching this show when i was a kid, on saturday afternoons.
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?
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."
Lt Ellis was the main reason i watched UFO.
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.
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!

Yes, to answer the question. Up to the Seventieth British accents and British locations had been much more in fashion as American sites in a lot of SF novells and movies. Guess it had been thought this kind of filming appealed more to an international audience. Aso, and you are absolutly right up to the Seventieth the British movie and TV makers had been much more active in this field. Also the expressions; for example the British word IMP or IMPOSSIBLE for ALIEN started to disappear after some years.[ For example QUATERMASS AND THE PIT, 1958/59 also seen in my youth - also still on RUclips} UFO and SPACE 1999 were good examples for it, also shows for a younger audience as the minni series THE TRIPDODS ( in German seen under the translated title DIE DREIBEINIGEN HERRSCHER )
Muy buena serie lastima que no venga doblada en latino español me recuerda mucho mi infancia en los 70
Se penso che ha 40 anni, e mi piace sempre da impazzire, un capolavoro assoluto............
fatto in 1969 - 🛸👽✨
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 😃
Pero' un sottomarino che può anche volare non lo hanno fatto........strano

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.
Oh my, the ladies uniforms.
Magnification Zero? Methinks there was no filmographer in the scripting room on that day lmao
That red ship looks like a fish.
