Gerry Anderson - UFO TV Series
![SHADO Mobile: Century 21 Tech Talk [2.9] | Hosted by General Ed Straker [UFO]](/img/1.gif)
I absolutely love this TV show and I was a child and now that I'm an adult and the internet is all I can watch all these episodes over and over again still one of my favorite TV shows
Have the series on dvd
I love this show. It was ahead anything of its time. Gerry Anderson passed away many years ago yet rules.
🛸👽💚✨
This still is good show to watch . I like to watch full episodes . UFO beats the Drama , the fake reality TV shows . UFO fits in with the things that's been going on for centuries .
Watching this program as a kid whenever Sky One was launched it made my week! 😄
I absolutely love this series watched it as a kid in the 70s. One amusing thing that confuses me. When you look at Skydiver, the detachable aircraft takes up about a third of the combined length of the whole craft. The aircraft is maximum 25 - 30f long so the rest of the craft is only about 50 - 60ft. Within that space all we see inside is the control room and captain's cabin. There doesn't appear to be space for crew's quarters, engine room, torpedo room as it does occasionally fire torpedoes. The craft really needs to be at least 3 times bigger than it is.
Star Trek ships, vessels 🎬 seem to have the same problem. Except for TNG Star Trek Enterprise....
never underestimate imaginary technology…
@@temujin0911 lol I also used to watch Voyage to the bottom of the sea and the 'Seaview' also had the same issue 😅
@@MichaelWilliams-mo1vv same here... that triggered our imagination back then and took things as they are... now, when confronted by real world engineering problems, you start to ask "where the heck did they put all of that?"... lol
There are torpedo tunes. One episode I think called sub crash had one of the crew to exit from the torpedo tube. She didn't however. She came back to the control room with Stryker.
I always thought that UFO was an amazing programme. Stipulated , SkyDiver was really amazing. And I'll admit that the ladies on Moobase were seriously amazing.
3 amazings are worth 1 heart
purple girls rule.
I wanted to be a skyone pilot when growing up.
Neil's Giant Leap, followed by a few more awe-inspiring Apollo missions...and 2001, were still fresh in the public consciousness. Audience sophistication was blossoming. Gerry Anderson got that. His model shop was always.......
....creative in designing air, space & watercraft for his shows. But now, we had much higher expectations for Sci-Fi vehicle authenticity.
Studio models of SHADO's transportation & weapons inventory introduced a greater level of believably to television Sci Fi. They looked functionally practical, were far more detailed ...and a revolution in FX techniques for filming them had just taken-off... with full afterburners.
Notice the weathering and heavily-used, worn look to UFO's Earth-origin crafts? Other's certainly did. Overnight, model making of every kind radically changed. Imaging media, architectural, scaled reproduction and hobbyists would never look back as "realism" was redefined.
Finally, illusion was trying harder to look more like....REALITY.
(Besides, the inverse wasn't quite working the way counter-culture had figured)
I love the attention to detail on all the models and sets . You can see why these shows looked so good back in the day
Yes, some details are delightfully pertinent.
Same control stick in SKY 1 and interceptors.
I loved this show back in the day. I watched all the Gerry Anderson shows from Supercar on when we could get them in the Tampa area. They were always on UHF and that little circle antenna didn’t always pick it up.
I always thought skydiver was one of the coolest sci-fi craft of all time. I saw a vid where somebody made an actual working model. Personally, I've always wanted to slide down that tunnel and into the jet. What a genius way to get in.
it was cool wasn't it ?
American Warhorse aw
I like the folks involved in this production, for the most bit.
I can watch these episodes over and over! Simply the best! 😎👍
Very glad you're enjoying UFO. Happy New Year.
MY FAVORITE GERRY ANDERSON 'S TV SERIES ARE SUPER CAR MINUS MITCH THE MONKEY. STINGRAY. THUNDERBIRDS, CAPT. SCARLETT & THE MYSTERONS & OF COURSE U. F. O.
Simply...an awesome Tv 📺 series when I was 8,incredibles aereo & sea ships,thanx 🛸
Brilliant series. I saw it In Awe as a Youngster in 1972.
Love those underwater smoke effects.
The Skydiver launch footage is superb.
It was an amazing show they did a great job in the music fit thanks Barry Gray,
as fan of gerry anderson , i still get enjoy watch, people forget no computer aid, all models was hand build, , now i am 60yrs, , dont forget it only sci fiction
Skydiver was my all time favourite Gerry Anderson vehicle bar none.
same here - 🛸✨
The sound of the UFO's scared the hell out of me as a kid
You have abused the apostrophe, Robert. Abuser.
Can you prove that a letter has been omitted?
What is the original word, before the substitution by the apostrophe: "UFOies"?
You should be thankful that hell is no longer inside of you.
it's called auto correct so blame my phone @@MoivinSulunker
Honest to gosh?
@@RobertOconnor-vx9tf
Auto incorrect.
@@RobertOconnor-vx9tf
God I wish they would remake this in to a feature film with current CGI instead of all the crappy Marvel stuff and recent movie remakes.
Could not agree more but am doubtful that Hollywood would get it right
MOONBASE ALPHA - Best regards - you do realize that all those Moon Base Alpha sets were intended for a season 2 of UFO that never happened - FandersonUfo is not a big fan of SPACE:1999 sometimes - so I'm glad you did include that show in your mixture - thanks
So SO right !
this and 1999. Maybe they could retitle it "Space 2069" or something
@@FandersonUfo And they've tried.
Everything was fine in all the scifi series of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson
I'd go with superb rather than fine actually.
That's nostalgic. I watched every week when I was a kid in Japan.
Very glad you have happy memories of Gerry Anderson's UFO. Best regards Fanderson
@@FandersonUfo Since the DVD was released by Deagostini a few years ago, I have the part that was broadcast in Japan,
@@polestarg6512 - I believe there is also a Japanese Blu-ray now. I'm very happy to hear from fans of the show in Japan. In a strange way I believe it is the Japanese fans who truly understand and fully appreciate how advanced this show was for a 1970 science fiction series. Most western viewers of the series can not understand why the girls on Moon Base are all wearing purple wigs. They wear purple wigs because they look fantastic with them. I doubt any one in Japan does not see that immediately. Thanks for your visit polestar. Please visit the channel page if you like where there are more UFO videos. I'd be happy to hear anything you have to say about the series.
I Like All the SkyDiver Episodes.
What I like is the gimmick where the words "SKY" on the aircraft and "DIVER" on the submarine spell "SKYDIVER" when the two craft are joined together. Only problem is, it doesn't work on the right side of the sub -- unless it's in Hebrew!
My hat is off to you sir. I had caught the clever word split idea but I never thought of the problem it would cause on the starboard side. Perhaps we can agree the lettering is standard only on the port side of SkyDivers. I think they would look rather elegant in such markings.
Wouldn't it be funny to find out it was in Hebrew, or Kanji on the starboard side?
morse code dots...lol
I have had a SkyDiver toy for years and I never noticed that it didn't have SkyDiver on the left (starboard) side.
Good Grief... all the years I watched this and it never occurred to me! Well done!
Love all of these shots especially the opening sequence in her pen. The model making is superb.
Goes well with the bathtub setting
There is a reason that missiles are shot out of subs under pressure and the fire their engines after they break the surface. In real life the sky craft’s engines would fry the diver sub to say nothing of its docking connections.
Yes I always used to think that lol, take moonraker for instance but it’s still a classic
Stingray. Thunderbird4. and Skydiver … my favorite 😂
I was crazy for this show in the early 1970s a totally captured nine year old school boy, never missed an episode at all no way.
WOW 🤩 I haven’t seen this since I was a child!
Thank you 😊
In the fantastic fantasy worlds Gerry Anderson there is the story, interesting characters, vehicles/vessels special effects, sound effects and then there is that INCREDIBLE music of Barry Gray.
From the opening and closing credit background music as well as all the mood settings in-between, he takes you there and puts you right in the middle where the (standby for) action is.
At the 3:22 mark is my personal favorite adrenaline accelerant by Gray. And for some caught in the build up excitement, in an alternate reality it might as well be YOUR head rising up in the cockpit and strapping in as SkyOne gets ready for lift off.
During the 1960s the entertainment industry was awash with TV and feature film science fiction of various types, replete with Anderson's MAJOR contributions of captivating millions of us.
Up until late 1972 when I first saw UFO, I thought Irwin Allen's Flying Sub easing out from under the Seaview was the coolest thing ever. But seeing SkyDiver angle up, blast out as Sky One separates from Diver towards the surface...BLEW MY MIND.
Derek Meddings did it to us AGAIN...
Sky One looks like a flying brick! I love it!
They even came up with a legitimate excuse for the mesh shirts.
As a weight saving measure they cut down on the insulation for the reactor steam lines. It was very hot inside a skydiver
ty Mr. Ricker - had not heard that excuse before now - 🛸✨
Love it, reminds me of Stingray
I love the fishnet uniform.
I remember the show when I was a kid a long time ago I always wondered about one thing they supposedly had a fleet of those submarines but the only one they ever showed was the one
It's SkyDiver 4 shown leaving the sub pen and I think SkyDiver 6 is shown in the same pen. Who many in total is never defined
Shows today don't know how to do specail effects like they did back in the day, UFO was great
Well the current Thunderbirds Are Go series does a nice job of combining miniatures, practical effects, animatronics, and CGI for the show.
I'm too sexy for my shirt, too sexy for my shirt....so sexy, it hurts."
lmao!!! good one!!
Fred had nothing on these guys
:D
@@scottn7cy And don't get me started on, THE LADIES of SKY DIVER!
Next to Lt. Gaye Ellis! They were the most Eye-Popping 'human' feature of UFO.
OH HAHAHAHAHA!!!! I never noticed the fishnet t-shirts back in the day when we watched this on TV (it was a B&W set, so I had no idea the women on Moonbase wore purple wigs..). That's so funny.... you can see their chest hair. "Maintain speed 40 knots.." 40 knots!!!! (And they're obviously just creeping along...) IIRC there were supposedly ten SkyDivers, SkyDiver 4 got destroyed in one episode. I think they only showed SkyDiver 1 for the most part.
I watch this when I was still a kid...elementary in fact....just that it never last long
I don't know why ? UFO and SPACE 1999 SHOULD BE ON ME TV .
Thunderbird 4 conversion with a drab paint job :)
I loved this show!
I grew up watching these science fiction movies as a little kid in the 1970s. As a little kid I even wanted to join the US space military but yet it's only a movie not real. Nowadays they're making weapons, computers, UFOs, and other space age technology now.
There's trump's space farce now. It won't be flying soon though I'd guess.
Biggest disappointment of my childhood was waiting for Dinky Toys to put out a SkyDiver.
It would've looked fine in the Emerald Green they insisted on painting the other Gerry Anderson vehicles (like the Interceptor and Eagle Transporter).
This was the coolest thing ever for kids growing up'/!!!
I bet the retirement parties for the SHADO personnel were always fun. "Hey, before you go, have a cup of coffee!"
Loved this show - but I always wondered how sky 1 landed then reattached? And also why there wasn't a fleet given the limited flight time and presumably reset making it hard if more than one ufo got through.
a fleet of at least 6 SkyDivers is mentioned in dialogue of the series itself - that would still be too small to realistically cover the entire planet however only 3 interceptors on moon base is also not ideal but stays within the special effects possibilities of 1970 television production - as for Sky1 re-docking after a flight that is finally depicted and explained by Anderson productions - ruclips.net/video/hxFoUXZ8fSo/видео.html - 🛸👽
@@FandersonUfo Thanks so much! I will definitely have a look into this.
@@sng2225 - 🛸👽💚👍
Skydiver were My Favorite Episodes.
Looks like those UFOs dread Sky-1 worst. When spotted by that jet, they just run. In one episode, their squadron attempted to attack Moon Base, but they never dared to attack Sky-1.
American and Soviet military engineers would have said: "The top secret has leaked!" The idea of skydivers was groundbreaking.
I loved this show
Loved it, and still do!
MHD turbines? A ' kids' show, ahead of adult dramas? Only Gerry Anderson.
Georgina - Moon is charming!!
i always thought this show was so cool when I was a teenager.
That SkyDiver captain is an ACE!
🛸✨
Nice special effects for its time.
The future we deserved but didn't get.
It interesting how the pilot enters Skydiver by sliding into a tube that appears be tilted downward but there’s not enough distance for him to slide into the Skydiver. Plus how would he get up into the cockpit? Oh,the physics show business seems to always ignore!🤔🤔🤔
At a fire station the pole does not drop the engine driver right into his seat. It is just a quick way to transfer from the upper floor to a lower one. I agree the geometry of the SkyDiver set may be flawed. But without the schematics of the submarine to hand I'll guess that the slide ends at a hatch at the back of Sky1's cockpit. The pilot would open the hatch and then take his seat normally.
@@FandersonUfo It was a cool concept for the viewer.
@@jamesfrench7299 - it's marvelous - never gets old - 🛸✨
Wish they had shown how those 2 redocked.
I like how it says Sky on the bit that flies and Diver on the part that dives.
Linda calidad de imagen y sonido.😊👍🌹🍃🌹🌠💎
I like the uniforms .
One of my favorite SciFi series. And SkyDiver was my favorite vehicle on the show.
Good design of the equipment from decades ago🥝🇳🇿😎
I loved this show as a kid but I couldn't grasp was the major discrepancy in scale which is a major sin in all scifi vehicles, "the inside is always much bigger than the outside".
I had forgotten how wonderfully unisex the uniforms were in this series.
gotta love the fishnet shirts, LOL
still love the effects
1969
Yeaaa it was looking to see what you have to say about that
I loved that show, but today I think is funny to see Sky1 pilot looking vissualy for the ufo coming out from the sun. Radar was invented in WW2. It should track the ufo and fire missiles MILES AWAY
These Were My Favorite UFO Episodes.
The girls on Moonbase even to this day there on the height of my fantasy
Yeah, 5'8" 38*28*38 (smile)
Instead of half the crap on tv nowadays, UFO would be great for a re boot if done correctly.
yep - most importantly "correctly"
@@FandersonUfo very much so. Would be fun to watch.
It's amazing how one submarine could cover all the oceans of the world
spoken dialog mentions a SkyDiver 6 and a SkyDiver 4 but indeed a fleet of over 100 might be needed realistically - 🛸✨
Life seems so dull nowadays.............I remember the days when we humans had to protect ourselves from UFO invasions........:)
es una magnifica serie de mi adolescencia
gracias por sus comentarios señor
Good job fair
I like this show
Lots more available on the channel page. Please visit at your convenience sir.
The studio needed to make a Skydiver at least 3X the size for doing on water effects shots. The Seaview from Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea was over 17 feet long. While Skydiver miniature 5 feet. Also shoot outside in sunlight and real clouds and sky.
ty R5 - I'm not sure Derek Meddings had a big enough water tank available - his water stuff is stellar but I think the bigger model of Seaview looked amazing in Voyage whenever it was cruising on the surface - SkyDiver looks pretty good but not 17 foot long amazing like Seaview
The shots of Skydiver running on the surface were done in an effects tank, but the submerged shots were filmed "dry for wet" on a dry miniature set using smoke and diffusion filters.
I'm glad that I'm not onboard that Sky 1 when they launch
Everything and everyone would be sliding Bas Accerds
That's why I'm onboard the SeaVeview
DON'T have that problem to launch the Fling Sub
I use to have to wear those string vests in the RAF Fire Service 😂😂😂😂
One can only surmise that the two parts are combined again by a squad called the King's Men in a procedure known as Operation Humpty Dumpty.
lol - indeed they never show them re-docking but imply that it's happened a few times
In some ways the TV show UFO was kind of like Thunderbirds, with scenes and aircrafts and all!😏😄
I always thought it was nice that someone modified the F-86 Sabre (from the Korean War) to swim! LOL
Sensacional 👏😃👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 AMAZING 💯💥💯💥💯💥💯💥💯💥💯
How is he sliding downwards into Sky 1 when theres no higher structure as seen on the outside view?
I know it's just a kid's tv show but a jet needs aerodynamics to move and steer but a saucer doesn't. This should give it much more maneuverability.
It may be hard to believe but this 1970 show was actually intended for an adult audience - the special effects were state of the art for the day - this was a weekly series not a major motion picture - there was not an infinite movie studio budget to pour into special effects and this was at least 20 years before before even primitive computerized motion control for model filming was available - CGI was only a dream in 1970
I love skydiver
Love the S.HA.D.O. SKYDIVER Submarine. Just wished that it was equipped with Laser cannons.
“Keepin mind it’s just a show....”
Netted outfits are cool
que epoca!!!!! siempre miraba esta serie desde chico. para esa epoca buenos efectos
Que copado !!! Muy bueno
なっかしいー今見て全然大丈夫 小学生の時！
Never heard of the the series in the '70s
With all budgets goes to impressive crafts and ammos, They only afford for net clothes.
I don't know how, or why, but somehow, I got to this stage of my life, and never heard of this series. The sets, and live action are incredible. I'm going to look it up.
🛸- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UFO_(TV_series)
I’d be more focused on extricating my undershorts from my buttocks after sliding down the ramp, and miss the battle completely. Hate it when that happens.
Where exactly was he sliding from and into? Was the pilot sliding from the conning tower to a back hatch of the plane and then walk to below the cockpit and lifted up? or was it some sort of pneumatic tube system where he is pushed through?
Also the shirts look really uncomfortable on the male nipple area. I suspect the actors really didn't like them much
The slides and chutes used by the Skydiver and Interceptor pilots were a holdover from Gerry Anderson's Supermarionation shows, specifically Thunderbirds. The International Rescue crew entered their vehicles via slides, conveyor belts, and moving chairs so the puppets wouldn't have to walk. As any puppeteer can tell you, making marionettes walk believably is just about impossible.
