    I loved Ed Bishop’s voice. Like other actors of the era, such as Malachi Throne, Leonard Nimoy, Bill Shatner, David Hedison , and Vic Perrin, his voice was very distinctive.

      @@CMDR_Verm It aired on ITV Yorkshire on Saturday morning (in 1971). Most regions showed it an evening slot so I think it was aimed at adults.
      The BluRay says not to be sold to anyone under the age of 12. I was 9 LOL 😀

    Ed Bishop was so good in that part that they'd be looking at a gift horse in the mouth if they didn't make more of his parts in UFO. I don't think that anyone else could've played that part the way he did.

    I don't know what the show would've been like had he been the equivalent of Gen. Henderson. One of the better aspects of the show was developing Straker's personality. He could be the bad guy and not take the hits because everyone saw the sacrifices he made. Alex seemed to lack that single-mindedness of Straker that was necessary for that job although was quite capable of running SHADO operationally. Foster wasn't the chain of command type and he was perfect to run Moonbase as long as he had a Straker behind him.
