UFO Battle

[@oldgoat142]

I was a kid when this was on in the US. The one thing I'd always wanted to do was be an interceptor or SkyDiver pilot so I could use those chutes. The closest I ever got was putting my bike down at the bottom of a playground slide, put on my homemade helmet, and bounce on to the bike when I reached bottom. Ahh, those were the days. Thanks for bringing back those memories my twin. I truly appreciate it.

[@stuartfisher1640]

One of my favorite shows as a child truly miss it

[@rodneybryant6061]

this was a worderful show back in 70s !!!!!!!!!

[@ronmann1374]

I use to watch this show religiously on Saturday afternoons back in the early 70's.

[@FandersonUfo]

God bless you sir. I was pretty faithful to it in the late 70's in Canada. Happy New Year and Best Regards Fanderson

[@bettyleeist]

Yeah,I still have that Ufo 🛸 series from;1969-1970!I should watch it,again,some time!It’s too bad that I don’t have my Ufo 🛸 book’s by a;Robert Miall!I still don’t know how these book’s got lost?But,I have my Ufo comic book’s by all those English artists 🧑‍🎨 from the early 1970”s.Two thumb’s up,here for a good 😊 show!

[@bettyleeist]

Too,it’s hard to believe,that Gerry and Sylvia Anderson made this show after they made Journey to the far side of the Sun 🌞 in 1969!It’s(Journey to the far side of the 🌞 Sun)another great 👍 film 🎥 that Gerry and Sylvia Anderson had made!Two thumb’s up ⬆️ for this one,too!

[@Reggie-b3e]

[@steveh130]

Music at end of show with panning view of the moon is really cinematic and thought provoking.

[@FandersonUfo]

Barry Gray was the principal composer for most of Anderson's series. Also worked on Dr. Who.

[@steveh130]

I bought the entire series on DVD several years ago on the internet. Whenever I use the internet I think of this show, and also Space 1999. Yea lots of great musicians from England...excelsior!

[@gleaveinjapan]

yes indeed. It took me a while to figure it out but the scene shows the Earth, then the moon, later the sun and last the alien planet. It is truly thought provoking and the music is almost early Pink Floyd style.

[@MrMoggyman]

Yes, really spooky end music. Got to love it. That and the beatty start music. Everything about UFO was absolutely class. Where have series like this gone? UFO did not cost a fortune to make, unlike some reality shows, and Gerry Anderson wanted to make more episodes. I even see UFO fans making up pretty good amateur footage on You Tube. Bravo. Time for a re-boot of this series? If that happened, they would have a very high standard indeed to meet to match the original series, although special effects would be better these days. I would hope however, that they did not do a disaster like the recently re-vamped Thunderbirds.

[@georgevavoulis4758]

It was such scary music

[@philiptom2799]

In some ways the tech holds up. Lol the pilot suits were a bit cheesy but it was the 70's. I love that they're in pants on duty and then miniskirts off duty. I'm guessing a lot of adolescent fantasies were born here.

[@macdjord]

The fishnet shirts on the sub crew certainly prompted some pleasant thoughts~

[@sk1ppman]

Practical effects rule. That they did most of this with miniatures is amazing and shows real artistry.

[@xxcwhitewolf0172xx]

UFO is very best show then and now

[@FandersonUfo]

yes indeed

[@m_hub3957]

this stands the test of time very, very well!!!

[@MrMoggyman]

Hey, that's George Cole (Arthur Daley) in a space suit and out on the moon surface blastin' a UFO!!! Got the right bloke for the job there.

[@silviofrancisconi2813]

AMAZING 💪💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

[@Harbalz]

I just want to know if the purple hair matches the drapes?😃

[@franklinnose]

If I'm not mistaken, until fairly recently you could watch ALL FULL episodes on KZbin. I used to watch them. Where did they go?!

[@FandersonUfo]

Network DVD owns the rights and will copyright strike full frame non-dubbed versions.

[@franklinnose]

FandersonUfo Used to LOVE this show as a kid growing up. My Dad got me hooked on it. Used to come on Sat. nights @ 5pm where I lived. Eventually though they phased it out and replaced it with Space 1999 which I thought was TERRIBLE. NO COMPARISON WHATSOEVER. I was HEARTBROKEN.

[@russell5078084]

franklinnose pity they never showed a UFO captured intact. Would have been nice if they could have reversed engineered that laser weapon.

[@MrBugman2525]

The one guy who licks his fingers be shooting should have been Luke Skywalker

[@josepadillap5231]

Gran serie.

[@MrMoggyman]

' 'Ere Arfur', 'Yes Tel', 'Is it true that you are a member of SHADO and blasted a UFO on the moon?', 'Yes Tel it is, and although I might say it myself, a direct hit. 'Er indoors was extatic at no having her organs taken.'

[@PappyGunn]

OMG I was a kid when this show was running. We used to watch this after school. Man we had good shows back then. The purple wigs wer OK, but the vinyl go-go boots and silver mini-skirts were a... good fashion statement. Great theme too, good use of IBM selectric typewriter as a telex. You didn't mess with earth back then, and they did it in style with good music and did I mention the mini-skirts?

[@TheKalle45]

3:01 The anti-aircraft-gun tank Cheetah (Gepard) works better 🙄

[@ts-900]

Least convincing, least menacing UFOs EVER!

[@nonameblues]

Why did they always come in three's....

[@martykarr7058]

And that's whiy if you build a base on the Moon, put as much underground as possible.

[@matthewcaughey8898]

That’s why XCOMs base is always underground

[@williamsmith752]

ALL those huge explosions on the moon....you would hear nothing...in space no air...nothing to carry sound.....everything would be silent....

[@lordvoltron9395]

thanks for this shit, Youth memories !

[@FandersonUfo]

np my lord

[@matthewcaughey8898]

SHADO and XCOM had very similar missions too bad they never teamed up. SHADO could have gained greatly from XCOMs research and development and XCOM could have significantly boosted SHADOs ground forces

[@perryvanengen4793]

all these advanced machines- missing there targets---!!! how is that possible in the supposed future ???

[@FandersonUfo]

Series was filmed in 1970. The year being depicted is 1980. Perfect marksmanship can make for dull drama.

[@perryvanengen4793]

this series needs to be redone in American cinematics, and updated to better fantasy of a date from the past to the future!!! @@FandersonUfo

[@FandersonUfo]

Love to see a re-boot. Not sure if we need American involvement unless you mean better special effects.

[@perryvanengen4793]

absolutely need it for the show!!!@@FandersonUfo

[@FandersonUfo]

It would be much better than any Star Trek I've seen lately.

[@Oldspartan65]

Don't those aliens get dizzy with their spaceships spinning all the time

[@markamcampbell5795]

why don't earth vehicles have lasers?

[@arcadiolegunda6591]

Pero no entiendo porque no viene en español latino

[@myrnagroger132]

An interesting series with that touch of English. Headquarters: FILM STUDIO on Earth? Seems very HOLLYWOOD. ATTRACTIVE women for 1980 reminded me of the English women of the 60s, except for the purple hair.(ls)

[@Mr2pint]

God those ufos had terrible aim lol too funny to think this scared me a kid watching on our Phillips k9 color tv - the white eyed Alina’s gave me nightmares ))))

[@FandersonUfo]

I hid behind furniture whenever the witch appeared in the Wizard of Oz until age five apparently. My older sister still mentions that occasionally to this day. Good times.

[@philiptom2799]

Maybe they're piloted by storm troopers

[@denisborile8462]
