UFO
- Complete Episode
One full episode of the classic TV
series landing on a small screen near you
 Listen
up, it's the distant future (1980, actually) and aliens keep showing
up and kidnapping people. Luckily, someone's set up a defence
department beneath a London film studio that's going to save the
world only for some reason, nobody is allowed to know about it.
So all the employees have to double as film studio employees to
keep things under wraps. That's premise behind UFO, which was
a hit TV series in the seventies for its creator Gerry Anderson
because of the great special effects, creative stories, ace actors
and sexy female operatives.
Missing in action The show was conceived in 1968 and first broadcast
in 1970. It's set in 1985, and features thought-provoking storylines
and powerful performances by stars Ed Bishop, George Sewell, Michael
Billington and Wanda Ventham. And now we've got the very first
episode on this month's DVD. The crew is setting up the command
station and getting things straight, and it's a perfect taster
for the full series that's being released by Carlton Video on
VHS and DVD this spring. There's a special collector's four-DVD
digi-pack edition that contains the entire series. If you buy
it, look out for several bloopers, such as some of the characters
suddenly disappearing in the last nine episodes, because a shooting
gap that lasted six months meant many of the actors got other
jobs.
