I was a fanaticla fan of this series as a kid. While everyone I knew was watching Star Trek I was watching U.F.O. I also used to have some of the Corgi U.F.O. toys. Had the Skydiver 1 flyer and a SHADO mobile. Could never find the alien UFO.

@Anlushac11 Yes I don't think they ever made the alien ufo, I had an interceptor which actually fired a missile when you pressed a button on the bottom. They're worth a fortune now.

I used to run home every late Saturday afternoon as a 9 year old to watch it! A great shame Ed, George, Mike, Vladek and Peter Gordeno are no longer with us. But time waits for no man as it won't for me now being 50. And yet I only watched an episode today and it still looks good. So hats off to that geat imaginative team back then. Just a pity that back in 1970 - 1980 I hoped for never turned out looking like that! Shame, it would've been far better than the actual version.

@thermionic1234567 The Aleins were unable to speak, and as the show progressed it was discovered they were little more than organic robots used by some form of non corporeal intelligence, so even if they DID have a name for themselves, they couldn't or wouldn't tell anyone.

[thermionic1234567]

But why call it "UFO?" Surely this alien race had a name for itself and you would think the SHADO people would figure that out. It's like calling a Japanese Zero a "UFO."

I was annoyed I could not get HTV WEST on Saturday tea time as where I lived was crap HTV WALES regional programmes, but we did used to get it on Wales late on Friday night instead ; I was allowed up late Friday, but I was greedy, I wanted it on Saturday as well !!. How tv channels have changed

Ed, Michael B, & George S have all passed away now, but it was over 40 years ago I guess

A great series, I was just 6 years old at the time. My favourite scenes were when the interceptors, sky 1 and the mobiles were in combat with the UFOs. The storylines were truly original, it seems hard to believe that after 1980, the year in which the series was set that NASA launched the Space Shuttle the following year. It's only just retired from service this last week in 2011 as I write.........
