UFO (1970) Straker's problem... ►STEREO◄

[MIGUEL2005LIMA]

WHTA HAPPEN WITH THE MOON GRAVITY?

[moonsault2506123]

i had all the toys made by dinky,except the alien craft,i don't think it was available.

[NoFaithNoPain]

@moonsault2506123 I really wanted the Alien craft as well. I was always dissapointed though, that the Mobile and the Interceptor were in Green, not Silver and White. I painted the red line on the missile myself though. If you see my videos now. the modelling and animation I do is so influenced by this show you would not believe.

[moonsault2506123]

@NoFaithNoPain, i remember strakers car had a mechanism that when you pulled it back & let go it flew foward,but got a bit sluggish over time,the alien craft was i always wanted though,mysterious!.

[jazzynet1]

Nehru's and Ascots were all the rage for us hipsters :D

[jazzynet1]

Haha the micro mini-skirts :D

[jazzynet1]

This show was so hip when it was on :D

[goodtimetone]

drake still gives me a woody

[spacemouse1]

Ed Bishop was a good actor. R.I.P. Ed Bishop...

[jgrab1]

I can't see the point of wearing metallic micro-minis on a moonbase. Not complaining one bit, mind you...

[jgrab1]

"How about a cup of coffee."

The ol' cup of coffee ploy. Soon it will be, "You want to see my etchings?"

[maninthestreet01]

I never undestood why the moonbase girls all had purple hair.

[MARK1HOE]

@maninthestreet01 Sylvia Anderson was the costume designer on the show. She believed in the near future all women would wear wigs as fashion accessories.

[agremlin8282]

On the wigs the series creater commented that he just liked the way they looked. He's the boss so Walaa!

[jeremy1000100]

I used to fantasize about Gabrielle Drake when I was a kid; I still do

[THX1205]

Oh Yes! The Futuristic World of 1980! Looks Dated!

[Rcoxx4u]

Why did some of the women (like Gay) wear the purple wigs on the Moon base and their natural hair on Earth?

[Ray0X0]

@Rcoxx4u Hey!.. these are helmets against cosmic radiation .. obviously on the earth they are not required..

[Rcoxx4u]

@Ray0X0

Thanks, I would never have guessed.

I recently discovered this series .

[capttheo1]

@Rcoxx4u Actually, they're supposed to be anti-static wigs so that they don't short out equipment just by touching it. Static electricity on the moon can be a serious bitch!

[moodyblue1964]

So much emphasis on the coffee yet she doesn't even sip it !

[PaulAtreydes]

Where I can get all chapters ...?Thanks

[antifatbastard]

Drake was one of the most beautiful women ever.........

[Xjonas335X]

The intro tune is hilarious!

[klnine]

God so hot . mini skirt purple hair..its at last in fashion haha !

[TheKingofSlots]

Thank you IBM for inventing the Selectric typewriter. They all laughed when I was in typing class with all the girls. Now everyone types. Typing skills paved the way for my career.

[defector1968]

if today the army have such beautiful lieutenands ill join asap

[dannyhood66]

They always predicted that 5 or 10 years later wed be like 100 years in the future..Even the future of today this century have gone passed

[SoHacker]

lol

[mszs]

Cheers? Ah, they are having irish coffee then!

No wonder, when they are having a whiskey bar in the commanders office too.

All these secrecy and danger by UFOs are probably coped best with booze!

[JEFNYUSA]

TIME FOR A REMAKE !!

[UFOSPACE1999]

@JEFNYUSA never will it happen....This tv series that started way back in 1969...would NOT translate well into another series or even a MOVIE!!! UFO is a CULT THING now..not something that the world wide audiences of today would understand..HELL..i still don't uderstand it all..and I am a fan. I was a fan when i was a preteen..way back when. Leave this tv series alone...and be happy with 20 something episodes...

[Orlor]

@UFOSPACE1999 Got news for you. A movie is being made.

[defector1968]

@JEFNYUSA the only problem is that the todays remakes sucks (i.e. galactica, charles angels)

[real7060]

@defector1968 thats because america remade them. america has no character what so ever,and im american. either they try to remake old shows into a romance novel or some boring science fiction sitcom. or they try to lighten up the show with bourgeise humor.

[donseagrave]

he said long and hard

[slovatt1]

Gabrielle Drake appeared nude in 'The Au Pair Girls' I think with Richard Sullivan, the nude footage is freely available on the net, sadly, she's not wearing the purple wig though.

[ohomen171]

Here is some vintage video from the series UFO

[unmedication]

:-)) YES! I'm beginning to see the problem.

[uzzle65]

Nice legson the lieutenant!

[cypionate011]

Nice everything on the Lieutenant!

[MrYamato67]

lol!! i still have all of these die cast made by dinky toys....

[LiamTheGreat]

the inspiration for the evagelion intro

[Tycho343]

Doesn't looks like NGE opening in any way.

But may sound like "new" opening of "The Big O" :)

[LiamTheGreat]

the fast cut style with the descririves flashed up is the inspiration for eva's intro. The creator has said so. I remember the soundtrack to Big O had a tune that was almost identucle to UFO's theme so it makes sense

[AleCaeser]

Ed Bishops career (straker) really took a dive , after this shite.

[gentleonmymind1966]

My favorite tv Serie!!!THANKS

[pepermintfits]

Thank you !

[centurion180ad]

Nice actresses!

The problem was that a multigazillion dollar military probe was sent to find the UFO homeworld and send back photographs to ID their world and weaknesses.

The photographs came in, but during the skirmish that was set up so that it could trail a fleeing UFO to it's home, it's circuits were damaged.

The photographs came back, but there was no SCALE placed on them.

STRIKER was maximum POed. He didn't quite get what difference no scale meant, until just at the end.

[aopaul]

GO TEAM VENTURE!!!

[Gallifrey1991]

commander and her going to have some 'coffee'?? mmm... yeah right

[leeroynaggins]

RETRO FUTURE!!!

Come back to me!!

[casdsys]

Boy If I had to step out of that UFO, I'd be dizzy.....

[goodtimetone]

gabbi is a gret bit of totty!

[MrOrlica]

Same sexism in the future as in the past!

[keithxian]

watched this in syndication when i was a kid, loved it, sorry it went away

[Devideoman]

i wanna buy dat RC tank! so cool! where can I git one?

[cerviniaman]

Hi, well why don't you buy the boxed DVD sets? I did picked them up cheap on Amazon!

[edestci]

Gay Ellis is very Sexy...!

[grooviant]

Not quite far enough out of the 1960s, I say! For some reason, this was the only Science Fiction show my dad watched. I was much older when I figured out why.

Space:1999 (produced by the same team in 1975, had a totally different vibe)

[psssyche]

I love the way Lt Ellis drops her arms and sighs. "Oh, f**k, I've got to go through being sexually harrassed in the work place again."

In space, nobody can hear you scream rape!

[dingecibbs]

Ellis is a total smoke show without that purple hair. I like when she poses with her leg propped up when Straker watches her thru the screen.

[antifatbastard]

Gabrielle Drake and in some movies she's without her dress.

[tuttt99]

I have a purple wig and a half finished SHADO Moonbase costume. If I can lose a few more pounds I just might finish it. ;)

[roroapollo2]

Straker is horny. I don't blame him.

[hyperdriveguitar]

Any more clips of her like that?

[rickker20]

Aliens can't never hit shit.

[UFOSPACE1999]

Didn't they hit that rover thang. Because it would of been alot of money to replace it.

lol

[unigateman]

nice legs nice all

[mojarrazo]

i want a girl with purple hair. Over and out.

[navarro5159]

excelente yo no me la perdia al llegar del colegio. me gusta esa serie lastima que la quitaron .saludos desde venezuela

[MIGUEL2005LIMA]

make two copies kelley...

[Beamshipcaptain]

Gabrielle Drake was so beautiful, and SO sexy and intelligent. I loved her so much, when I was 10-11 years old.

[NoFaithNoPain]

@Beamshipcaptain Gabriell Drake? Beautiful? I was too young at age 7-8 to know what that was all about, but I do now.... we were all a bit in love I think. Unfortunately I grew up thinking silver miniskirts, sparkly catsuits and purple wigs are sexy. I was ruined!!! At least the taste in engineering design I inherited was correct.

[band4me]

enrdes is correct, as a matter of fact the original book (yes there actually was a book) described it as a combination of an anti-static wig and a purple vaseline type grease. Kinky!

[Bez1960]

I didn't know that, I thought it was just a fashion statement, or uniform. Besides, in that case, why didn't the men wear 'anti-static' wigs...

[enrdes]

why women have purple fucking hair

[TheRebel2007]

Would you believe those were supposed to be "Anti-static wigs" so they didn't short-out the electronic equipment (!)

(I'm not making this up!!)

[psychodamned]

You should see thier pubes lol !

[tacticalbattledroid]

top tune ;-)

[TheRebel2007]

Certainly are horny and misogynist in the future, aren't they?

[Korea4Me]

Definitely horny but I don't know where you get the misogyny from.

[mrandmrswiggles]

they just dont make si fi like they used to

[RoseSharon007]

How did u get this vid??

[divisioneight]

You'd think with all the little details figured out for their technological marvel they created, they forgot to make the doorways tall enough for their people to walk through. At least they got the wardrobes right.

[Jmcenanly]

The production designer may have been thinking of Naval vessels with their water-tight doors. If that hatchway leads to the airlock for the lunar module, it would be a logical place for an air-tight door.

[scotpens]

Love the silver miniskirt, but WTF was with those purple wigs?

[straker2]

Just what was his problem? Very cleverly edited.

[DevilishDumplings]

The only fun the men had was there secret X-ray specks machine, It was working perfectly, But now it couldn't penetrate beneath the female staffs uniforms.

[straker2]

hahaha, good one! :) Mind you, the way the girls dressed in UFO, I don't think Straker needed help to see enough of them! Gabrielle Drake, yeah, I'd zoom in on her, too! (Must be a common problem among male viewers).

[DevilishDumplings]

to true i had the hots for Gabrielle bad as a kid

[straker2]

A common affliction!

[777edward]

Groooooooooooooooovy Music!!!!

[Robochav]
