UFO 1970 - 1971 Opening and Closing Theme (With Snippets) Blu-Ray Dolby 5.1

[@peterknott100]

I met Ed Bishop having hired him as a voiceover to record a radio ad. Funnily enough, it wasn’t until he walked into the studio that I realised he was the legendary Commander Straker. Anyway, not letting on I mentioned on talkback that strange objects could be seen flying at speed outside. On this, and completely in character, he quipped “Does Moonbase know about this?”... Seriously, what a nice guy.

[@fiddleandfart]

This is why television producers are pushing the, "reality," tripe so fully. I did give, "reality," a try for two weeks when it first came out. It was the worse two weeks of television I ever had. I refuse to watch any, "reality," television now. It is just basically pointing a wobbly camera at some loser to see what happens. The camera operator has no clue how to hold the camera still, ether.

Only thing you could say was bad about it was the Interceptors with a one shot weapon.

I can't remember this, but the effects look great for the time! Not sure why the kinky string vest uniform would be a thing.

[@FuelrIce]

+Connie Wonnie I remember very vaguely, though I was admittedly quite young at the time. The uniforms, like much of the wardrobe, are of a piece with "futuristic" uniform notions from the late 1960's. Since the 1960's were only barely over, the same clothing styles would still have been the norm. The real innovation was, oddly enough, the purple-haired girls from SHADO Moonbase -- I can't say that I recall any other TV series of the time going with identical purple wigs.

Dude, I use to wait impatiently for the Mets to lose badly, & sit through Kiner’s Korner so I could watch this! That’s dedication! 🤣😂😆

[@GyroplaneFan]

Bought the DVD collection for this AND Space:1999 - love both series.

This was shown in day time TV when I was reading about UFO phenomenon as a kid in the early 80s. Those spinning UFOs and that noise they made we're totally captivating and frightening as I knew they were the enemy. The one scene that stuck in my mind was the captured alien and one of the crew saying he either can't understand them or doesn't want to understand. That was chilling.

These shows made my childhood, got me interested in science, engineering and UFOs of course!

This TV show is INMORTAL, I love it since it was aired originally,

[@christopherpuylara6355]

WOW ! I never thought I'd get to see this show again, and this popped up in my feed. I loved this show as a kid ! Scary as all get out, but the machines are what turned me on. I was into the Blue Book stuff, read Chariots of the Gods, etc. But this show made the reading and tabloid stories kinda real .

This has reminded me of a toy Interceptor I had in the 70's, Thanks :-)

Those Moon Chicks are groovy Foxes!! 😍

Nostalgia ain't what it used to be. It's dejavu all over again!

[@panpiper]

Nice edit. One of my favorite TV shows from my childhood.

[@faceless7808]

omg this is gold! that spaceship scene was hilarious! retrofuturistic!

[@cathymackay5534]

Takes me back SO far! Scared the pants off me as a kid. Once met Ed Bishop at a convention. Such great memories...😘😘😘

[@AcapulKero]

Wow! I saw one movie in the movie theatre, then the tv-show and after that I bought the View-Master discs and the toys. What a great show! After that I continued watching "Space 99", name in German: "Mondbasis Alpha 2". Best series ever! P.d. I was born 1965.

In 1980, I was still using equipment made in 1944 in the Army. All of the budget went to these blokes!

[@mcm95403]

I LOVED this show as a kid! It was like a live action Thunderbirds! A lot of pretty amazing concepts for the time, and I like the idea of the pilots hoping in the chutes to get to their ships. I wish we could get reruns of shows like this instead of Sharknado crap.

[@tomford4180]

I watched this show as a kid and loved it. The special were excellent, had a great hip musical theme, and red hot girls in scanty outfits. Wonderful.

[@fw1421]

I loved this show,and it still looks great,especially on Blu-ray.

[@Draconisrex1]

I watched this show faithfully. I was so disappointed when it was cancelled.

[@scottcuppello]

This, re-set in the future would make for such a great movie or TV series.......

With Charisma Carpenter with short hair as a female Ed Straker. Oo-la-la!
