As a ten year old, I was captivated by this series. Loved Gabriele Drake and her purple hair, which I thought was a direct consequence of her living on the moon!

I think I had an idea like that at first. Then, I saw all the Moonbase female crew had the purple hair, but none of the men. So I assumed that purple wigs were the uniform. A very 60s idea.

Here in New Zealand, colour TV was only begun transmitting in 1973, the upgrade to colour was timed a little before thew Christchurch NZ hosting the British Commonwealth Games in 1974. However import licences and taxes at the time meant that colour TVs were very expensive and rather rare at first. (Curiously those early imported sets were a sorta cheap-arxe variant of PAL, in that they had a "tint" control that was functional. Normally PAL colour has no tint control as it is automatically corrected as part of the PAL process, being one of the main differences with 'Merica's NTSC, Never The Same Color system !) I recall even in the late 1970's going to a school friend's house to watch certain programmes in colour, as our family were only late adopters of colour TV. So I only discovered the Purple hair wigs when I was gifted a paperback book, a novelisation of some eps, with a colour cover and on the back, photos showing some women characters. I brought it to mum's attention at the time.

What a great piece of nostalgia. I remember watching UFO as a young boy having received the Dinky Shado Mobile and Interceptor toys, thinking wow is this what 1980 would look like as the year flashed up in the titles. Still can’t believe it’s 2023 as these were the futuristic years. The ladies still look great. Wanda probably had most young boy’s attention on screen! Always wondered what Alec Freeman actually did as he always seemed to stroll round with just chatting with Ed Straker. Great show well ahead of its time.

I barely remember any details, except it was one of those that seemed a cut above the usual silliness on TV around this subject. This documentary brought back a lot of memories and scenes that I really don't remember. Thank you for the memories and even more for making the show originally.

When I was a kid, the English accent of the actors in U.F.O. made it stand out to me as something different and very cool. Of course, I loved the whole look and feel of the show as well. This documentary sure brought back fond memories of a great show and the wonderful and lovely ladies that were in it! : )

I remember a scene from UFO that still sticks with me a quarter century later. Straker needed one of his crew, a woman, maybe black, but I can't be sure, to exit the sub through a torpedo tube. Straker told her how the water rushing in when they opened the tube's door would "feel like a sledgehammer" and I felt real empathy for an actress not in any danger at all, as she waited, pulse pounding, for it.

I just love UFO! we had cable TV back in the 70's and this show came through the Los Angeles channel. I was glued to the TV every Saturday Night when UFO was on. It was Amazing Sci-Fi for its time and the Women are all just Gorgeous and amazing actors! The UFO women are true leaders, each of them were main cast characters and not just supporting cast sitting on standby next to the men. We have to thank Sylvia Anderson (and Gerry) for their vision of the future and how these incredible ladies were portrayed with intelligence and strength while not minimizing their femininity- they were sexy and smart. I was too young to fully appreciate the adult relationship themes, but I do remember wow, these are all beautiful and smart ladies and they are in charge of the men lol. Yes, this show was ahead of it's time on so many levels. And have to mention the visual effects, the vehicles and the moon base. The production value was amazing!

Not often I watch a KZbin video all the way through without skipping parts but this was very entertaining. Made me smile a few times.

Fantastic memories watching UFO back in the 70's and great to see the actresses that appeared in this classic si-fi. Still watch it now 50-years later and wish someone would bring it back.

Thanks for posting this & to all the lovely ladies of Shado. Fantastic series, loved every minute of it including all the characters & plots. I'm 61 years old & have a model UFO & Interceptor on my living room wall stand (dare I say also next to a Dalek & Cyberman)

Loved this show back in the day and still do. BTW Wanda Ventham (Colonel Virginia Lake) is the mother of Benedict Cumberbatch. She and her husband (Timothy Carlton) played the mother and father of Sherlock Holmes, which was of course played by their real life son.

This was such. JOY watching this and seeing the ladies from back then in this video - thanks for having this up on KZbin! ❤💯 The ladies had me rolling w\their commentary - the "Jockstrap", and especially about the filming of the opening sequence "I don't think you can see my face?..." 😂🤣 (With the camera truck all close behind her w\a bunch od dudes, umm, camera men following close behind her - PRICELESS!! 😋💥💯) If I've only ever done ONE thing right it my life, it was WATCHING this show and listening to one of the BEST THEME SONGS ever for a SciFi \ TV show! If I could go back in time, one stop would be to see who and how they produced the theme music for this show!! 👍♥️ Heck, I'd be excited to watch a video about the UFO music production all by itself! Again, absolutely marvelous video! ⭐💯

Great trip back to some fun times. UFO was ahead of the game in so many ways. The ladies were in the thick of it and making decisions not coffee.

Having been an admirer of Nick Drake’s music, to see his sister on TV always had me glued to the screen even when she joined the awful Croddroads Soap. And having been a lover of all things Gerry and Syliaa Anderson since their first popular series.
