More than 40 years have passed and this episode is still in my mind. It impressed me deeply back then. One of the best TV Shows ever. Thanks for keeping it up. And God bless TH-cam.
This was one of Gerry Andersons best series watched it in the 70's loved it . Still looks good even now , would wear any of Strakers suits today great style .
Great Episode of a great show. The character development still stands up even today. I wish they would have been able to complete the second season of this show. It was popular in US markets so they started working on it, but it morphed itself into Space 1999
I used to watch UFO here in My country in the early 70's...almost 50 years ago its enchant still remains.. R. I. P. to all these actors who are not with us...
This is one of the best episodes. I watched this episode on TV when I was a child. If they heard the voice of Colonel Foster, aliens would not have been killed. I was sad.
This episode hit me like a hammer when I saw it as a young child in the 70's on British TV. It taught me some pretty big lessons at the time: that some 'baddies' can actually be 'goodies', and that things can still end badly for a good baddie! It's the only episode I actually remember after 40+ years.
This is the same Alien who just killed Foster's friend. In another episode 'A Question of Priorities' an Alien rebel lands in Ireland and tries to help SHADO. So many great story possibilties cut off after only 26 episodes.
FandersonUfo - I think I'll have to watch UFO as an adult. I'm a massive fan of Blake's 7, and I'd like to think that UFO could give me as much pleasure (although Blake's 7 would be hard to top!). Thanks for these uploads.
My pleasure sir. If you're in the UK I would suggest the new Network Blu-Rays of the complete series. My uploads are fan edits but I do try my best not to disturb the original story lines. I watched it many years ago when I was young and foolish and missed out on a great deal that I can only now appreciate.
IMO UFO topped Blakes 7. There was a 60's film called Beach Red, I'm pretty sure the story line for this UFO episode was taken from it. www.imdb.com/title/tt0061389/
I agree. But also a missed opportunity. Imagine if the Alien had been brought in alive. He could have become a SHADO asset and ally, expanding the scope of the show.
I was really upset when I first watched this episode as a child. I guess that's a sign of good writing and production when a fictional TV episode can stir a strong emotion. Still not happy watching it now, the alien didn't deserve to die, damn it!
I can see now that this show was very ahead of it's time, particularly for tv scifi. It tackled complex and nuanced themes, and addressed the dilemmas of individual characters, in a way that we didn't start seeing until much later. It was a 'drama' series as much as a 'scifi' series. The general tone reminds me lot of the remake of Battlestar Galactica, which I also recommend highly to anyone who's never seen it.
Speaking of Reimagined Series - they could have dialed "Deus Ex Machina" ...uhm.... "Deus Ex Six & Baltar" down by about 80% to make it bearable in later seasons. Or, at least, s really strip Tricia Helfer ...
I remember seeing this when it first aired in 1970's...whatever, I must have been 9 or 10 and it was so profound and poignant, it still is...it was a powerful episode. Thanks for uploading this memory!
I watched with my mom in the early 70's . I have the complete series on DVD. Commanders smoke and have a bar in their offices. My favorite would be the underwater group with fishnet uniforms..all quite absurd but loved it when I was a kid
I loved this series! I played the intro for my children who wanted to know what I watched when I was their ages. Lo and behold I got the entire series (8 DVDs) on 2 sets for Christmas!!! :-)
In 1933 my Dad was 10 and him and a buddy walked 4 or so miles to town to see King Kong that Saturday evening. He said after the movie was over and it was dark they were so scared they RAN home. I got him the VHS. Now that is old tech!
Hm but decompression doesn't work like that. It would be like a balloon burst - emptying the room in a second or two. Then you'd have a few more seconds to get to a door before you passed out. No hurricane winds.
Man, I remember watching some episodes in the 90s, as a kid. I barely remember plots, but stuff like the red alien suits, space ships and sounds I definitely remember.
This was a series designed for an adult audience. Eventually it just got lumped together and forgotten amongst Anderson's many series for younger viewers. Some of the Art direction choices costumes etc. can seem a little far out in hindsight but overall imho a brilliant vision for it's day that rolls by at 25 frames per second gloriously.
@@FandersonUfo I thought this show tackled some very adult themes. It seemed to be as much about the humans and the effect their work had on them as it was about aliens and UFOs. I didn't get it as a kid but I do now.
@@uapuat - Totally concur sir. I know it's easy to see it as a "kids" show today because of the models maybe but the story lines are pretty adult even for now maybe. I think it was Anderson's best series and it's a tragedy that it only lasted a season. Of course they could have ruined it later with a lot of fantastical garbage like the second season of SPACE:1999 as well. Thanks for passing by uapuat. Best regards Fanderson
I always thought the sound made by the Moon Mobiles was very spooky and unsettling. I would cover my ears to keep from hearing it. Growing up I loved watching the UFO series!
I remember this episode very well-how two opposites in time of situations join together to help one another-- always felt sorry for the alien who was killed due to a misunderstanding
I watched the show when I was younger.i have two paperbacks of the show. I wished they would have updated the show for now time frame. Still s great damn show for it's time.
Thank you for posting these episodes from UFO. I recall seeing this series in America as a teen back in the mid-1970's and was blown away by the many ahead-of-their-time concepts that are now staples of many SF shows and movies. This episode in particular left me wondering just how much humanity was left in the supposedly partially lobotomized humans the aliens were using as their tools. The attack on Moonbase was probably directed by alien control emanating from the UFO, and when the UFO was destroyed the remaining human may have been freed from that control. Lots of interesting directions this episode could have gone towards, but the lack or inability of communication between Foster and the 'alien' keeps us speculating.
Mr. Nemo - Although I do like your interpretation of the "Aliens" as lobotomized homo sapiens under the direction of Alien masters that was not what the Andersons intended to portray. This is a humanoid race suffering from genetic decay travelling to earth to harvest human organs to extend their lives. The individual in the red suit is not supposed to homo sapien but Foster does manage to develop an interesting relationship with him on a human to extraterrestrial level. Tragic to have him needlessly killed in the end by a trigger happy poorly trained SHADO operative. He should have been trained to capture an Alien alive if he could? When shot the Alien was not even holding a weapon.
I very respectfully beg to differ with you; in a later episode (EP19 The Cat With Ten Lives th-cam.com/video/71N52WuqSC4/w-d-xo.html advance to 23 mins, 45 seconds), Dr. Jackson speculates that the aliens might actually be non-physical, inhabiting the modified human bodies as he put it, like a 'vehicle', as that one of the bodies he had examined was declared to be completely 'normal'. The organ harvesting might actually have been solely for the maintenance of their human 'vehicles' to keep them operable. Which places the motivations of the alien controllers in a whole new perspective.
Good sir thank you very much. I will not dispute your knowledge of the released and therefore canon episodes. Not a favourite of mine the "one with cats" as some will call it. I think the concept of what the Aliens actually are was something that was a work in progress throughout the series. In the first episode 'Identified' one certainly gets the impression that they are a humanoid race seeking human organs for transplant to extend their lives. The musing of Straker at the end of that episode is fairly clear on the subject - Dr. Jackson's later musing on the topic notwithstanding. There was a 5 year series here that only made it to 26 episodes. Hard to say what type of Alien would have evolved eventually. I will doff my cap though to your obvious expertise of UFO. I had completely forgotten that scene with Jackson. Regards FandersonUfo
Barry Gray composed the music, but if you want to hear some really eerie sound effects, I recently learned that he also created the sound effects of the silicate creatures in the 1966 film ISLAND OF TERROR. Really creepy.
Great story, similar to the SF film Enemy Mine, in which two soldiers in a war, one human, one alien, meet and form a friendship and put aside their differences to survive. Love the fact the whole alien/Foster sequence is dialog free, like the Twilight Zone ep The Invaders. The final twist where his rescuers misunderstand his attempts to explain as a warning... is heart breaking.
Based on the Lee Marvin / Toshiba Mifune film He'll In The Pacific. Greatvthat the boss man starts the episode by bossing the hottest to make him a coffee
Seeing this for the first time in 2020... The FX are damn good. Love the way they obeyed the no sound in space rule until the two astronauts touched helmets, from a 70's show! The balloon in the decompression scene was clever too although it should have popped long before pressure dropped to zero. And the technicolor suits and sets are a refreshing change from today's gloomy colour palates. Nice!
Best documentary about UFOs ever made. To spend money and time to ridicule a conspiracy theory then cancel a successful show is to confirm that it's the truth. I bet more of this show is based on reality than fiction. It was sold as entertainment and a spoof. Gaslighting at its highest degree.
The women with purple hair in control always had the most upmarket posh British accents along with uniforms that were quite provocative to say the least ❤️ I never really got into this program, probably because it was just too new and REAL (lol) as when I was a very young child in London it was Fireball XL5, Stingray and Thunderbirds but nonetheless a fabulous upload so thank you. Where on EARTH have all the years gone ? Happy Saturday from Middle Earth ✌️
This was Gerry Anderson's attempt to produce programming for an adult audience. The networks were confused and did not know what to do with the result hence UFO only had one season. Thanks for passing by Steph.
I dearly loved this series. I was in high school. Loved Tough as Nails Straker, and lol General Henderson. Never really like Space 1999 as much. Oh and Dr Jackson. Good character
"Ordeal" was another brill episode where Foster is abducted and forced into the alien spacesuit and his helmut fills up with creme de menthe and he starts to choke. Creeped me out as a kid.
@@GNeuman - It's a green fluid in both cases if I remember correctly. There's some great stuff in the Abyss. Even if the ending's a bit of a stretch. The extended director's cut helps but it still winds up a bit bananas in the end. Enjoy your Sunday sir. Best regards Fanderson
@Ordeal" was also my most memorable eps of UFO as drowning in green fluid/scary @ age 11...thanks 4 sharing...had the dinky toys 353 ufo shado 2 mobile and the green [couldn't get white?]351: UFO Interceptor - Dinky Toys
Ogar Nogin. Old story, often adapted. This one was good. Enemy Mine was published as Sci Fi in the 50s in Asimov Magazine. There's a chapter like this in Nowlan novella from the 20s (Airlords of Hoth if I recall) and as you said the Lee Marvin picture after WWII.
Mr. Dandy these are edited versions not complete episodes. There is a scene I removed where Foster explains to Straker that a large storm of meteors had been interrupting the tracking network for 3 days. I did not consider that important to the basic story-line I wanted to highlight here. I would encourage any one with a strong interest in the show to purchase the original series from the copyright holders.
FandersonUfo This was groundbreaking television at the time. Thanks for posting. I love the storylines, the futuristic fashions, the music, the characters and especially the vision of the future in 1980 from the perspective of 1970! It has brought back some great memories from my childhood!
This gives me child flash backs. I had an interceptor die cast toy from this show.. eagle from space 1999..ah to have imagination again of my childhood once more.
The thing that stands out most for this episode was the actor who played the alien, Gito Santana according to imdb. He actually played an alien in 3 episodes. His face is so perfect. Stoic, emotionless, determined. Human but oddly not.
I know it's common for some shows made by the same people to reuse music from past show, but did anyone notice at 19:39 - 19:44, that the music was a segment of the Mysterons theme from Captain Scarlet whenever the Mysterons are on screen?
@@FandersonUfo I know, I was wondering if anyone else had noticed as a fun thing, since it kind of works, that segment of the Mysterons theme works for the pay off the alien's reveal.
Remember watching this episode when I was about 9 years old and wondering why the alien had to land on the lunar surface then walk 500 yards so he could shoot at a window of moon base with a rifle!
Switch off your mind?.....Heck no, Turn on your mind!!!!!....it is sci fi after all.......shut down then you can't ecape the reality of this regular world we so travel about...Open the Mind!! Open your eyes!!.....and well ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!.🐈🚀🚀🚀💙👍🙋🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
+sarah sarah Sarah this was before your time baby doll I'm glad you like this.you look like one of the fling angels on Captain Scarlet.bye pretty lady.
Poor engineering design in portal should have a door/shutter that can seal window if breach occurred. Micrometeorites pose a hazard even without snipers.
After growing up watching the Classic " War of the World's ( t o m ) " , " Invaders from Mars " along with " Earth V the Flying Saucers " and " Invasion of the Sausermen " this one with Frank Gorshin . I had a strong belief that we would have to be ready to fight with any Alien that landed . But after I watched this episode I sorta kinda expanded my thoughts of a possibility of us working together . That's been over 50 years ( I'm 62 now ) . After seeing all of the Crap that we do to each other . I've come to the conclusion that we are more of a threat to them .
As was taught to me, we inflict casualties on the Enemy in an effort to break their will and prevail in war. If you view them as people you murdered you may go insane from guilt. Only Ants and Men wage dispassionate total war...
en mi opinion fue el mejor episodio de esta saga...........dos seres que muy aparte de sus diferencias..........luchan por un bien comun la supervivencia...........descubriendo que el respeto por el semejante es la clave en el universo.............pero el final fue muy trizte ...........muy tragico enmarcando en la poca comunicacion de quienes no escuchan y anteponen siempre los propios intereses.......bye amigos.
¿Hay algún modisto que todavía pueda hacer el mismo vestuario del utilizado en la serie? El traje plateado me gusta y cuando lo vi hace 45 años no tenía televisor de color (.) Gracias!
It's the same as all the others and your point is 🤔👀 I grew up on this mate and keep your views to yourself why does the fuckin conversations have to be about colour prick😐
Those space helmets at 10:11, look identical to the ones (not used) as props on the Nostromo bridge in Alien(1979) when the signal that wakes everyone up is received by Nostromos computer.. painted black.
More than 40 years have passed and this episode is still in my mind. It impressed me deeply back then. One of the best TV Shows ever. Thanks for keeping it up. And God bless TH-cam.
Not only a great ufo episode but one of the best sci fi episodes ever!!!!!
I loved this show growing up. There were a lot of episodes without happy endings which gave it a sense of reality. Who couldn't love the opening too ?
...one of the most touching episodes, by far. An excellent series.
This was one of Gerry Andersons best series watched it in the 70's loved it . Still looks good even now , would wear any of Strakers suits today great style .
One of the greatest episodes of this masterpiece series.
Brilliant opening scene, the ufo sound still brings shivers down the spine !

Super cool. Men of colour. Women with purple hair. Macho dudes and cigarillos in space. Love it.
What a great show. It is even better than I understood as a child.
I watched this show as a young boy back in the early 70's on a local TV station on Saturday afternoon. Even after all this time, I am still a fan.
One of the most memorable and better episodes.
I agree. But also a missed opportunity. Imagine if the Alien had been brought in alive. He could have become a SHADO asset and ally, expanding the scope of the show.
of what?

This is a good episode
It keeps you on the edge of your seat towards the end
Can remember watching this years ago
It’s not how well put together a show is that makes it entertaining, it’s how entertaining a show is that reveals how well it’s put together!
Given that it’s 50 years old, the special effects are outstanding.
You should see 1958 Titanic "A Night To Remember" - that was quite an achievment!

Fascinating how you get to hear all that sound in space.
Very good point!

It's brilliant but there's no Grey's 😂
One of saddest episodes, highly memorable.

ThexBorg you can’t repaint the Mona Lisa
No, remakes are always crap
Please no!!! No remake. Today, they would be using all this CGI shit and cheapen it. There's nothing like the original series. Leave it alone.
Ah yes - there it is. Right in the middle of the three arrows pointing at it. Brilliant!

@Ordeal" was also my most memorable eps of UFO as drowning in green fluid/scary @ age 11...thanks 4 sharing...had the dinky toys 353 ufo shado 2 mobile and the green [couldn't get white?]351: UFO Interceptor - Dinky Toys
With all the spinning in the craft I think I'd have thrown-up.
Number one serie
Loved this show I was about twelve now 59 lol
Me Too!~
I also, way ahead of its time. 59 too.lol
HOLY COW.... that guy ran into that mountane and moved the whole thing. amazing
Much more substantial than the cheap glitzy flared productions of today!
Sort of like the movie where Lee Marvin is alone on an island with the Japanese soldier or the movie Enemy Mine . By the way I remember this episode.
Ogar Nogin. Old story, often adapted. This one was good. Enemy Mine was published as Sci Fi in the 50s in Asimov Magazine. There's a chapter like this in Nowlan novella from the 20s (Airlords of Hoth if I recall) and as you said the Lee Marvin picture after WWII.
Hell In The Pacific,directed by John Boorman.
Ok UFO lands alien then walks miles to moon base when man takes moon hop but still very good
The two enemies working together to survive has been done many times before and after.
That was messed up. It could've changed everything. Great video.
If I were Straker, I would be livid.
How did a UFO GO UNDETECTED by SID and Moonbase?
Mr. Dandy these are edited versions not complete episodes. There is a scene I removed where Foster explains to Straker that a large storm of meteors had been interrupting the tracking network for 3 days. I did not consider that important to the basic story-line I wanted to highlight here. I would encourage any one with a strong interest in the show to purchase the original series from the copyright holders.
FandersonUfo Thanks for that information.
FandersonUfo This was groundbreaking television at the time. Thanks for posting. I love the storylines, the futuristic fashions, the music, the characters and especially the vision of the future in 1980 from the perspective of 1970! It has brought back some great memories from my childhood!
Mr. Ordidge - Very glad you enjoyed your time here. Many thanks for your remarks.
Too,if you want more adventure”s of Ufo,then,read the book”s:Ufo 1 and Ufo 🛸 2!It”s based on the show,of course!
This gives me child flash backs. I had an interceptor die cast toy from this show.. eagle from space 1999..ah to have imagination again of my childhood once more.
The thing that stands out most for this episode was the actor who played the alien, Gito Santana according to imdb. He actually played an alien in 3 episodes. His face is so perfect. Stoic, emotionless, determined. Human but oddly not.

I know it's common for some shows made by the same people to reuse music from past show, but did anyone notice at 19:39 - 19:44, that the music was a segment of the Mysterons theme from Captain Scarlet whenever the Mysterons are on screen?
Barry Gray composed the musical scores for Scarlet and UFO. Mr. Gray worked on several of Gerry Anderson's series in the 60's and 70's.
@@FandersonUfo I know, I was wondering if anyone else had noticed as a fun thing, since it kind of works, that segment of the Mysterons theme works for the pay off the alien's reveal.
@@FireStormDel - Barry probably had a lot of fun doing the music for both shows. Best regards Fanderson
Now where did my colander get to!
wow,,, re useable space craft,,,,good idea,, ring any bells
Why they did not hear the bullet hit the window?
I love that old fashion s-f, even with their flaws such as bursting fire in the void.
When I was a kid, I wondered why the aliens didn't get dizzy inside those spinning saucers.
Remember watching this episode when I was about 9 years old and wondering why the alien had to land on the lunar surface then walk 500 yards so he could shoot at a window of moon base with a rifle!
FOSTER: the Aliens are expendable, we want the UFO....... Typically the same thing in today's world.
It was and still is a cool show you just have too switch off your mind
Switch off your mind?.....Heck no, Turn on your mind!!!!!....it is sci fi after all.......shut down then you can't ecape the reality of this regular world we so travel about...Open the Mind!! Open your eyes!!.....and well ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!.🐈🚀🚀🚀💙👍🙋🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
+sarah sarah Sarah this was before your time baby doll I'm glad you like this.you look like one of the fling angels on Captain Scarlet.bye pretty lady.
Wow, this reminds me of my childhood!! Thank you for uploading!
You're very welcome.
Old Sci fi is awesome lol
Poor engineering design in portal should have a door/shutter that can seal window if breach occurred. Micrometeorites pose a hazard even without snipers.
After growing up watching the Classic " War of the World's ( t o m ) " , " Invaders from Mars " along with " Earth V the Flying Saucers " and " Invasion of the Sausermen " this one with Frank Gorshin .
I had a strong belief that we would have to be ready to fight with any Alien that landed .
But after I watched this episode I sorta kinda expanded my thoughts of a possibility of us working together .
That's been over 50 years ( I'm 62 now ) .
After seeing all of the Crap that we do to each other .
I've come to the conclusion that we are more of a threat to them .
This story line is rather thought provoking. Thank you for your remarks sir.
As was taught to me, we inflict casualties on the Enemy in an effort to break their will and prevail in war. If you view them as people you murdered you may go insane from guilt. Only Ants and Men wage dispassionate total war...
en mi opinion fue el mejor episodio de esta saga...........dos seres que muy aparte de sus diferencias..........luchan por un bien comun la supervivencia...........descubriendo que el respeto por el semejante es la clave en el universo.............pero el final fue muy trizte ...........muy tragico enmarcando en la poca comunicacion de quienes no escuchan y anteponen siempre los propios intereses.......bye amigos.
🛸👽✨
Add a comment I have watched the show since the 1964 and I have been a fan even since.
Those where the days.
¿Hay algún modisto que todavía pueda hacer el mismo vestuario del utilizado en la serie? El traje plateado me gusta y cuando lo vi hace 45 años no tenía televisor de color (.)
Gracias!
Awful darned LOUD for there being no air on the moon. That black guy's silver suit is the sh*t, ain't it? The ending bites the big one. Figures.
It's the same as all the others and your point is 🤔👀 I grew up on this mate and keep your views to yourself why does the fuckin conversations have to be about colour prick😐
I love this stuff, space 1999 was out of this world !! Haha
I have the UFO " Ohh wee, ohh wee" as a ring tone.
Those space helmets at 10:11, look identical to the ones (not used) as props on the Nostromo bridge in Alien(1979) when the signal that wakes everyone up is received by Nostromos computer.. painted black.
I'm a total scifi junkie & older than dirt. How is it I've never even heard of this show?
It is a bit of a rare gem
