BEHIND THE SCI-FI SCENES: THE MAKING OF UFO, SPACE 1999, TERRAHAWKS, AND MORE

[@mikehindson-evans159]

Definitely; you recognise the first bars of the theme tunes (and they still pop up in adverts with nothing to do with UFO etc - but it grabs your attention. along, of course, with the IBM Selectric "Golf-Ball" typewriter at the commencement of UFO. I recall launching more than one "golf-ball" (improperly secured) from the Student Newspaper typewriter...

[@Mr_Kenneth]

UFO was insanely ahead of its time. Incredible special effects, top-notch totty and a fantastic music score

[@CaseyJonesNumber1]

The UFO theme is my mobile's ringtone. When people hear it, many say they recognise it, but can't quite place where they've heard it. I usually keep them guessing for a bit! Thunderbirds is my alternative, but everyone knows that one...

It has without a doubt one of the most funky, groovy and far out memorable themes of all time. Its up there with the Prisoner and Doctor Who as being a total stand out legend.

[@almanuel6140]

as i am in my seventh decade i have said before and say today as a consumer of sci-fi programing THUNDERBIRD and the long list of other shows by Gerry were and still are the apex of puppetry...the fact that i still remember how much fun it was to watch these so long after seeing them the first time is a testament of how well these shows were made.

Every Anderson idea was gold, just a pity they were hamstrung by "executives" with no vision. Thank you 21C for making my childhood enjoyable, at times you were all I had.

[@Folker46590]

What's clear is that the American 'executives' were racist, and thought most Americans were stupid. If they could have, Doctor Who would have been changed or canceled.

[@bettyleeist]

I haven’t seen all of Gerry’s shows,but,have seen a few of them.The last one 1️⃣ that I saw was;Space 1999.That was in the fall of 1977.Now,look where Ufo 🛸 was headed.It became a radio 📻 show and a 📕 book later on.This was a year ago in 2023.It’s amazing 😻 how these old shows can be recycled into new things.😊

Then the "Spaceship" can land and take off horizontally, with four rocket engines placed on each side, front and back, as "the Eagles" have.

Many big 'kids' like me (70+ years) owe a debt of gratitude to Gerry Anderson for the entertainment he gave us, all the way from Torchy the Battery Boy, Four Feather Falls, Supercar, Fireball XL5 and many other series mentioned in this video. To my brothers and me, they were far ahead of their time and other childrens' television shows paled by comparison. Sadly, Gerry's final words can't come true. I just hope he knew the truth of how much fascination and joy he brought to so many people of all ages.

[@gerardpoltawsky4656]

yes i hope he knew how much joy and excitment he brought to all the kids my age !

[@jeffcook6446]

I loved UFO and Space 1999 as a kid...I still watch them today...I loved when they introduced Maya in the second season, she did lots for the series. Thank you Mr. Anderson.

[@AdamEast-yo8pz]

The second season was crap, debased by the need to dumb down and meet the assumed US market needs. The monsters were truly awful and the episodes had a comic book feel to them. Gerry certainly preferred the first series although he doesn't say so here.

[@johnclay7644]

the editors and lighting camera people were very good Stafford (Ufo and Space 1999) and Frank Watts (Space 1999) and Barry Gray's greatly effective music Great documentary.

[@tasercs]

'Hero' is an often overused word these days but I have always regarded Gerry as a true hero. He earned the respect of TV execs and made the most amazing programmes that changed many a child's life - with nothing but an idea and some passion. Yes, he had a wonderful and unique team of creators to help realise that dream, but he was the driving force. This showed a side of his life that had its fair share of adversity but he overcame this and if you didn't know the details of the cancellations, threats and petty squabbles, you would be left with just an amazing list of triumphs - programmes children will look back on when there is nothing but AI and CGI and wonder at. I'm sure the excitement and drama will create the same tingles it did for me 50 years ago (and still does), in generations of children to come. RIP my hero.

[@Quackalott]

Couldn't of put it better myself.

[@THE_Michael_Westen]

I'm a huge Anderson fan. Space: 1999 basically sparked my love for scifi. I still haven't watched all of his shows start to finish. Those I did I always enjoyed and they gave me hours and hours of fun and entertainment.

[@swpowell1226]

Thanks for all the great shows. Shouldn't have listened to anyone in America and we would have probably had more episodes of UFO and Space 1999. Fred Freiberger KILLED the series. There was absolutely NOTHING wrong with series 1 of Space 1999 and it DID NOT need Americanizing !!!!!

[@jean-lucpicard5510]

He should have told that yank to go stuff it when he told them to remove the black puppets.

[@jfbeam]

More UFO means there never would've been that dumpster fire Space:1999. It was only made to "americanize" the show - of course, hollywood execs are idiots.

[@hughh.8075]

I’m an American and couldn’t agree more.

[@tjroelsma]

Agreed, the US is the first country where a very small group of people, who want to be offended by pretty much everything, make so much of a ruckus that they dictate what other people are allowed to watch in the US. Which is completely contrary to the idea of democracy.

The greatest sci-fi for younger viewers ever made over decades. Visually never been beaten by anything. Best vehicles ever. And for me, Thunderbirds and UFO have stayed with me for over 50 years. Barry Grey's music was extraordinary too. Altogether magnificent.

[@tnetroP]

I was never really into Terrahawks. But everything else he did was fantastic from Thunderbirds to Captain Scarlet; and Space 1999 was a firm favourite when I was a kid. Thank you Jerry for making my childhood special.

Fantastic! The legendary man from my childhood era, Never thought I’d get to here the legend himself recounting his career and expressing the business struggles he faced.

[@Allan_aka_RocKITEman]

Back around 2013, J. Michael Straczynski [JMS] -- creator of the science fiction TV show *BABYLON 5* -- posted a comment online saying that most television network executives {I presume he meant in the US} just did not 'get' science fiction. I think JMS was absolutely right. It was definitely true in decades past, and I think that is still true to some extent even today.

It still is. Executives are just dense. It's their nature. They view all sci fi offerings as childish stuff. They wouldn't know good writing if it popped them in the chops. All they see is "The weird stuff."

For British / Americans: Ufo was very popular in Germany, therefor they kept a speed designation like SOL (Speed over Light) for the German dupped over version of Startrek. So when Cpt. Kirk orders Warp 5 they where going Sol 5 in Germany.

[@exidy-yt]

UFO remains one of my favourite TV shows of all time. The inspiration it's had on my one of my favourite video games, X-COM: UFO Defense and one of my favourite anime series' Neon Genesis Evangelion are iconic and immediately identifyable as is everything about the show itself. It was so ahead of it's time, and so amazingly internally coherent in it's storyline elements (except with the aliens themselves, but it never got the time and additional seasons to flesh that out) and it could have been so SO much more that it makes me sad. The Andersons' works will not be forgotten anytime soon by those of us lucky enough to have found them!

[@pimlicoX]

[@Karma1957IGY]

I was about 7 when Thunderbirds came out, and I was blown away with the fantastic machines and futuristic technology so much so that I'm kinda disappointed with how things are now. My head was programmed for a future that did not arrive. But it was wondrous and joyous all the same ! Thunderbirds, UFO and Space 1999 expanded my imagination and gave me a happy childhood.

Obviously, I loved the puppets! How could anybody not? ... And, in my opinion, "UFO" was one of the most stylish Sci-Fi shows ever created! Everything about it was just superb! SID: "This is Space Intruder Detector" ... "Condition red, I repeat, condition red" ... "UFO detected" ... "Computing speed and trajectory" ... "Recommend immediate Interceptor launch" ... "Standby" ... "Computing attack coordinates" ... "Trajectory termination confirmed" ... "Establishing downlink with ALEXA" ... "Downlink established" ... ALEXA, "Hi, SID! [kissing sound] What do you want me to do about the UFO?" ... "I can give you a recipe for Spaghetti Bolognese?" ... "How about a lunar weather forecast?" 🤣 SID: "This is Space Intruder Detector" ... "Condition idiot, I repeat, condition idiot" ... "There's NOTHING SMART about ALEXA" ... "Downlink terminated!" SHADO OPERATIVE: "Commander Straker, SID and ALEXA are having another lover's tiff!" ... "What shall we do?" STRAKER: "We don't have time for this! Have Foster replace the pair of them!" ... "With Windows 11!" SHADO OPERATIVE: "At once, commander!" ... "I'll have SID's orbit decayed, so he burns up in the Earth's atmosphere." STRAKER: "Just make sure parts of SID don't crash through somebody's roof in Florida!" ... "I hear NASA are being hit with a lawsuit!" ... "SHADO aren't made of money, you know!" 🤣 Sorry, got a bit carried away! ... I love UFO! ❤️

A man of incredible talent and vision - a shame he never did make it back in time. Space 1999 was my absolute go-to - loved the tension and effects. Barbara Bain will always have a place in my heart! What struck me though was the way they all called each other by their first names - no 'Mr this' or 'Captain that'. 'Kids' TV these days is lacking in pretty much everything - which ties in with what Gerry said about trying to pitch a show these days (over a decade ago!). Great shame and sadly missed.

UFO was regularly repeated during the 1970s in the UK. It (and Space 1999) were broadcast on one of the main TV channels and had fairly large audiences. Space 1999 was something of a hit across Europe, although this wasn’t obvious from the UK.

Incredible models and special effects, the attention to detail, the characterisations and the storylines all stand out. The fact that it was all done with puppets on strings still amazes me.

My dad turned on the TV, and I saw my very first Episode of the Thunderbirds (in B&W). So much better than St. Nicolas! As soon as it was available, I managed to get the TB2 toy, with a TB4 in the Pod. I will never forget the excitement waiting for the next episode. Years later I bough the DVDs for my own kids.

What a superb piece! Previously, I'd thought that Gerry sounded rather defensive of Captain Scarlett and the subsequent lacklustre reception but now I completely understand why. He'd worked incredibly hard and created something extremely impressive only for the clueless folk at ITV to completely squander his talent and harpoon his career. It was also nice to hear him speak so fondly of Fred Freiberger - a man he could quite rightly have taken issue with. Gerry was clearly a very professional gentleman. A brilliant video and a much clearer understanding and appreciation gained. Thanks for posting.

I understand about presentations. Several years ago, I had to do a presentation, which I hated to do ,because I wasn't a proper salesman, and the computer wouldn't link to their system. As a result, instead of the computer presentation I just carried out a personal presentation with no visuals, just an honest discussion. I was being judged by a purchasing lady, who was known to have people doing presentations in tears. It was interesting because this lady was actually encouraging me during the talk. I was able to actually able to present my ideas and able to answer questions, or in some cases just admit that i did not know, but would sort out later. The problem with the new systems is that they place you in a straitjacket. I also knew that when I was employed, there was no personality profile. When they did produce a profile, I wouldn't have fitted in that profile. Yet I managed to do the job for over 30 years.

Thank you for this. Gonna track down and see if I can watch these classics. I've seen a few of them, besides Thunderbirds, I am sure when I was a child in the early 70's. Lot of BBC shows crossed the pond back then and many of them were great. Totally agree with Gerry, that movie version of 'Thunderbirds' was NOT what the fans wanted.
