Far better than the rubbish they make today
Hot women and everybody very slim .Yep it was great .Can you imagine a woke Dr Who version?
Yes true😊
@@nihilistcentraluk442 maybe a little too skinny in some cases... but it was the fashion of the time...
Right. J. M. Keynes
It’s nice that we can still see these old show’s at least!
One of the most appealing features of UFO is that you see the series develop with the creation of SHADO, the recruitment of Paul Foster and so on whereas other science fiction classics arrived fully formed.
I loved the scene where costs of the project were discussed and debated just like every international so called cooperation.
I’ve alway’s liked the Moongirl outfit’s and their silver boot’s!I’d have to wear a flat shoe 🥿,myself,here!Otherwise,I’d twist an ankle in the high heeled boot’s!I wouldn’t be able to wear those boot’s,anyway!I’d prefer,a ballet 🩰 flat shoe,here!Beside’s,flat shoe’s are better for your feet!As I remember,a young women wore some flat,silver shoe’s in one of the Ufo 🛸 episode’s.She wore a short skirt,as well.The only problem would be;you better have nice leg’s to go with that skirt!Ha,ha!And,a youthful figure,as well!😊
My only problem would be;I’d have to wear a size narrow 🥾 boot!👢Along with flat heel’s,as well.A cowboy boot,or a hiking 🥾 boot would be;”more my speed”,😊here!Expect wait….maybe,those flat,ballet shoe’s would be good,after all!😮
Made my childhood. They don't make them like this anymore. Best programme of the seventies. 👍👍
"UFO" had such great theme music!
Forget the show, the punch was in that tune!
The music at the ending sounds a lot like magnetic field of Jupiter .
Yes, great theme music...!
But... don't forget the show...!
And that iconic ufo's sound effect...!
1980 looks so futuristic! I can't wait until we get there!
Lol! 🤣
Same here ,I was a little kid when UFO aired on Canadian television. I was looking so much to the future . Man what a let down major disappointment 😞
Maybe,that’s why we like;Ufo?Sure…..why not?And,you could;’dress the part’if you wanted,too?By,dressing like the character’s.Ha,ha!You could save money on some new clothe’s!Which would be nice!😊 😊😊😊😊🤑👽👽👽🖖
I think,an actor compared;Ufo to Star ⭐️ Trek at one point?Does anybody know who this man,was?I do know,that he said;and what was there around at that time?Which was;he was talking about Star Trek,which was on in those days(the late ⏰ 1960”s).Oh wait!This man’s names was;Shane Rimmer!That’s who that was!Year’s later,I knew that he had retired from acting.🎭 😊
Which reminds me,Wanda Ventham took home 🏡 the purple shirt 👚 with the black belt,which was around the shirt.👚 She said;She had deceided to keep it in order to remember the show.And,being on the show.🪐🌎🌘🌕🛸
Paul was my favorite character on this show.
best sci fi ever. brilliant writing, superb cast
Loved UFO at the time and had forgotten how sexy it was....especially the costumes ...if only the future had looked like this!
This UFO series still looking good in 2019 .
Not
2021 here.... ;)
... and still in 2022 (March 14th)
Loved this series when I was kid
Good shows like that never die they always find a way to resurface
It’s amazing, I remember watching UFO as a child, and hiding behind the sofa whenever an alien appeared, the green liquid in the helmet really freaked me out! I am so glad that I stumbled on this channel on you tube, it’s been great reliving this series, truly one of the most forward thinking sci fi productions. I find it hilarious that they even had a Sinclair C5 equivalent sit down electric vehicle, when in the early 80s this did indeed appear in real life.
It was like a scifi mystery
I loved 🥰 this show!I still remember seeing;Ufo in the early 1970”s as a fourth grader!Now,they(Fanderson)have all this merchandise associated with it.It’s pretty 🤔 interesting!
Billington died quite young (63), just 5 days before Ed Bishop.
What year was that ? Ed Bishop died at what age?
".....To boldly wear what no one has worn before!"
😉
I think someone said;and what else was there at the time?But,I can’t remember who the actor was that said this!Maybe,it was an American 🇺🇸 Actor?I don’t know?
That same actor also mentioned how Star Trek was popular,and,I guess,this ‘replaced it’s,I don’t know?This is very hard to put into word’s,here!😊But,it doesn’t mean that I don’t love ❤️ the Ufo show!Yes,we do love it!🥰
If you wear those ‘female form’outfit’s,or whatever you call them,you’d certainly have to have a nice figure in which to wear them!You better be thin!😊Heh,heh!
I need to do my dusting,this afternoon,but I’m too lazy to do this,right now!Maybe,it’s because,I’m watching;Ufo?Well,we could dust later,I suppose?😊
The actor Michael Billington, who has died of cancer aged 63, achieved minor cult status as Colonel Paul Foster in UFO (1969), the first live action adventure series produced by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson, the creators of Thunderbirds. This, and similar roles, resulted in the tough-guy actor being tipped, for more than 10 years, as "the next James Bond".
He’s got the chest hair to be Bond😉
Here in the United State’s,they have reality show’s,or talent show’s.This is not my;”cup of tea’when I can watch;Ufo during afternoon tea and sandwiche’s!Maybe,some biscuit’s and jam,too?This sound’s good 👍 to me!
Michael went on to star in The Onedin Line to, although he was later replaced for some reason. His character Captain Fraser, was married to Elizabeth Onedin. Michael sported a beard, but he looked great as a sea Captain. Jean Marsh of course went on to Create and star in Upstairs Downstairs.
I read somewhere that Bishop and Billington became best friends and moved a few blocks from each other also vacationing with their families together. They each died a few weeks apart at the same hospital.
This is the way the twenty-first century was supposed to be! High tech adventures with cool clothes, cool cars, and futuristic secret bases. What the hell happened?
Socialism, buying votes for Democrats took priority, taxes stayed high and the right research projects didn't get funded. We also didn't have the right guidance.
I heard that the screen stock and models were all eaten by a mutant start goat.....
*star
An entire TV series based on an old electric typewriter...
WOW dude. Never knew this existed. What was I watching in the 70's? The girl with the purple hair. Incredible.
One of the best TV shows ever! I was 8 when this first Aired!
Takes me back and still looks great today,brilliant!!!
🛸👽✨
Great show! Way ahead of its time.
5:43 Fosters co-pilot is played by Matt Zimmerman more famous for providing the voice of Thunderbird 3 pilot Alan Tracy in the original Thunderbirds.
I was 8 yrs old when this show first aired and I had the biggest crush on Gabrielle Drake, Lt. Gaye Ellis. Today, in my 60s, just watching reruns of this show brings back some great memories...
I remember seeing this episode the first time it aired on American television! It was so cool!
I've reviewed Blakes 7, Space:1999, Tomorrow People, Star Trek and classic Dr Who, but although they all have some strengths, the most consistently good quality sci fi show, in all departments, is UFO. Sure, UFO has its weaknesses here and there, the odd episode which is a little weaker than the rest, but there's no Spock's Brain, no Myrka monster, no aliens who want to force characters to make out so they can study how humans make babies, no puppet dinosaurs, no total disaster where the show disgraces itself...not quite as popular for the Andersons as Thunderbirds, but more mature, more imaginative, more fully involved in sci fi situations, UFO has a dark and difficult main character, ruthless aliens and well crafted plots. It's a crime that there wasn't another season because this show is tops.
"no Spock's Brain" That is spot on and hilarious. My god about half the third season episodes were terrible. Hippies in Space etc. The series was begging to canceled in 1969 and I am a life long hard core fan. Meanwhile at Elstree Studios UK Gerry Anderson was producing a Masterpiece of Science Fiction with adult themes that put the storylines of Star Trek to shame. There is no justice in television success. Thank god for the 26 episodes we wound up with but there should have been many many more.
By the way I am exchanging remarks with some one from the original production team currently. It is beyond "fascinating".
"Spock's Brain" thank you. I'll be laughing all day.
Trek, Who, Bkakes 7, even Space:1999, all had good stuff in them and I enjoyed them all... but UFO never disgraced itself! Even the weakest UFO episode has much to enjoy, much to make it worth a watch or two. And no... Alec Freeman's brain never went missing! :)
"The cat with ten lives" is generally considered the worst UFO episode. I find it still watchable but you would have to pay me well to endure the entirety of "Spock's Brain" or "Journey to Eden" in 2018. Always good to hear from you my friend.
I think Cat suffers from fans who have a "cruelty to animals" concern. But I look at it this way...the cat is like Collins in Man Who Came Back or Tim in Long Sleep... it's already dead! The cat is just a body inhabited by alien intelligence. The dogs are just killing the stolen/possessed body. It's a zombie! :) I think that's one reason why I love UFO so much... the aliens are virtually ghosts... disembodied intelligence, inhabiting and possessing bodies. The ghostly minds of another world!
Indeed that is why it is still watchable. An average viewer would not look that deeply into what was going on and catch that sub-text. It would be very easy to view the whole business as rather silly. I actually took advantage of that in the Ayshea vid. I had to have Foster show up looking like he had just been directly mauled by by the creature which is untrue of course in the real storyline. I do like to abuse Foster when I can. I'm not sure why but is fun.
The 3rd season of Trek suffered under massive budget cuts in addition the executive who supported the show originally at NBC had moved on. NBC slowly strangled the show to death with the hope to make room for something more profitable on it's schedule for the next year. The fans saved it once but NBC wanted to make sure that there would be nothing to save next time. Thousands of fan letters could be ignored after that pathetic season.
UFO and ITV is a completely different disaster. They never really understood what they had on their hands and failed to promote the series properly. They originally broadcast the series with a broken and fitful schedule until 1974 with episodes out of sequence. They were idiots. They almost redeemed themselves by trying to continue the story by shifting most of the action to a larger and more advanced moon base. That fell apart and morphed into 99 as you know. Gerry was miles ahead of the people who control the purse strings and even the potential audience at that time perhaps. Very frustrating that the UFO story never got the proper time and space on the air it deserved.
There is a lot more flexibility and platforms to distribute entertainment today. Perhaps some how some way Gerry's story can be finished one day. I hope it is done well and I'm still around to see it.

Amazing series way ahead of its time very realistic
i'm fan for over 40 years...and now i produced that ; @ a tribute to Gerry Anderson...
Better than I remembered! And so nicely edited, well done. I always thought Colonel Foster was always getting the dirty end of the stick,lousy aliens.
i watched this TV program and seans in Japan,about half century agoo.
There are very clear in my heat.
I think this program is most amazing in the world of SF TV program and SF movei .
Sorry ,my Japanese English.

Such a shame this great series never did a second season. SPACE 1999 was good But UFO was the best!
You are correct Mr. Hegarty. I try not to be too critical of Space 1999 because there are many fans of both series who will check out this channel. Which of the two has aged better over the years is obvious to me at least. Purple wigs not withstanding.
FandersonUfo pity there hasn't been a remake of both shows. If they wouldn't ruin it by trying to make them politically correct, it would be great.
I would expect Hollywood to ruin a re-make as they did with Thunderbirds. The big studios would take the story and try to 'improve and modernize it' into something safe and bland. I'm starting to hope that a web series that continues the story happens some how. Something like the fan-based Star Trek web series. They achieve a lot with very limited resources.
FandersonUfo if they did anime versions, they could do even more without the limitations physical reality imposes.
There will be a time soon when CGI is advanced enough and cheap enough to faithfully reproduce this series or any other. How about more original Star Treks with the original cast. Such things are happening already on a very limited scale in film recently. Virtual recreations of deceased actors have been done.
Is it weird that I might have a bit of a crush on Foster? He' definitely my favourite character in the series, though to me it seems like he got a raw deal in some episodes, given how many times he gets injured!
There's always a character in sci who always takes a beating - it tended to be Chekhov in the original Star Trek
@@FandersonUfo Or Miles O'Brien in DS9 :)

He would have made a good James Bond.
I believe he made a short list before the Roger Moore films started - he would have been better but Moore was better known and the franchise had just failed with an obscure Lazenby choice on Her Majesty's Secret Service - can't even watch Moore as Bond at this point - can't take him seriously in the role
@Sam Loveless - Yes, he would have. And I remember thinking so at the time.
He would have been amazing 😍

one of my favorite sci fi shows , much much better than space 1999
another brilliant episode thank you
Me and my Dad watched this show every Sunday night and the Tom Jones show had the same time slot witch is what my mother wanted to watch so every other Sunday we had to alternate .. UFO SERIES IS A REALISTIC SPACE ADVENTURE . THIS SERIES SHOULD HAVE HAD A SECOND SEASON .
Tom Jones or UFO - such a dilemma back in the day before VCRs
Since Hollywood is on a re-make kick, think of what this could be with modern effects. It would be a great movie or new TV series.
There was a sort of project to do a movie about a decade ago but it never really got much further than a logo and some unrealised ambitions.
I am aware.
I have also written many an email to the various Hollywood production companies suggesting that UFO, and Logan's Run be remade in to summer blockbusters. Additionally, I have suggested that someone adapt the original Buck Rogers story [not the 1980's crap, but the Armageddon 2419 book] version in to a movie, which has never been done, to my knowledge.
I was hesitant because of the "Total Recall" remake disaster. Getting tired of DC and Marvel super hero movies, along with the Pirates franchise.
Any replies to your E-Mails? Particular to UFO I would be fascinated to hear what they said.
Not even an acknowledgment of the email being received.
I have basically given up on Hollywood entertainment. I get a discount at the movies, I pay $2.50 per film, but I won't even spend that on the trash that is being put out. The last movies I went to was Star Wars 8, and I was happy when it was over. I watched Rogue 1 on netflix and though it was excellent, so a small minority of new films are watchable.
I have taken up teaching myself classical guitar and have started to learn woodworking with traditional hand tools and find myself much happier than when I sat in front of the TV or go to the movies.
The last film I sat in a theatre for was the first Star Trek re-boot. Very good I thought (with some reservations) and then the next one can't even do Khan well. Then the third is a Marvel influenced turd in my opinion. What happened to telling a compelling story with film? What I mean of course is sure modern special effects are miraculous and are what people are now being brain-washed into expecting in modern sci-fi; but if the story being told with the imagery is banal and really an excuse for all these visuals then it is bad film which in say 50 years will look pathetic. Almost 50 years have passed since this story of UFO's was visualized on film. These are still 'good films' because the story is compelling and many will mock the by today's standards primitive special effects but they tell the story as well as any modern CGI would. Perhaps better.
As much as I like a GOOD Sci-fi I was a kid when first aired .
As with the other shows , I kept looking for the release of model kits .
But nothing big was released except for some toys but nothing that I could have added to my collection .
I really wanted one of the UFO's to go with the rest of my Spaceships .
All this long before the internet .
So I had to do the tracking on foot .
But with today's tec , I'm hoping that something will happen .
Thanks for bringing back some good memories .
And before I go . I've subscribed .
Keep looking to the sky .
it is strange there don't seem to be a lot of toy UFOs from this series around - I know there were models sold years ago but they are rare things these days - I'm glad you stopped by and enjoyed some UFO sir - best regards - 🛸👽

the second time today I'll thank you for some very kind words - they mean more to me of course as you already know the show very well - 🛸👽💚
So sad to read comments of intelligent people with no imagination. I loved all of the sci fi TV shows for they all had something imaginative to share and a lot of hard work went into making these shows. I worked in Hollywood for almost every studio as a prop man, prop master, welder, painter, PA, assistant musical director, miniature technician. You name it I did it, but most of all I was proud to work alongside so many creative people.
The problem with most of these comments is they lack heart. They lack experience and lastly they lack taste. You just need to look deep inside of you for the different attitudes within yourselves to finally see how good all these shows had in their own right. They all excelled in their own categories...
I wish I could leave a worthy reply sir but I hope I at least understand and appreciate your remarks - 🛸👽💚
Michael Billington would have made a superb Bond.

@@FandersonUfo He was a Soviet spy killed by Roger Moore in the introduction to The Spy Who Loved Me.

@@francisparker4941 pre-dates the DeLorean!
I loved this show as a kid, I’m sure it’s the reason I drive a Tesla, I feel like Straker every time I get in it😊
I'm an Atheist, but, Oh, My God, that introductory theme song, brought me back....way back... to another time, when things were so...comfortable....
Back in the turn from the Sixtieth to the early Seventieth when UFO had been aired in Germany I wasn´t alowed to see it, because of school - to late in the evening. Never got a second chance so I enjoy these clips immensliy :) If ever there is a chance to put XCOM/UFO the computer game on the screen this series would be a great Inspiration especially the pilot opener. I loved what the mask artists had done to the faces of the two leading actors. They had demonstrated the aging over the years perfectly.
Mr. Lynch - I'm glad you're enjoying yourself here. Best regards FandersonUfo
Thank you Mr. Lynch. That does sound marvelous to me as well. Love XCOM
Yes, back than I had a major struggle with my mom because of this about maturity. Got to here about this for the next decades. But I guess she felt bad about it because some month after she had bought for me the VIEW MASTER slides to the series for my birthday.
Roger - Exposure to smart beautiful women should never be a problem but I can see where the mother of a young boy might be concerned. God bless her. I think every one is over 21 now so feel free to enjoy. Viewmaster would have been cool back then.
Blueprints on all machinery.
Ejecting at very high speeds is like hitting a brick wall.
It is sad that Vladek Sheybal is no longer with us. If you are casting a troublemaker who can double as a psychiatrist, who can innocently ask:'Wy? Wy should I do that?' and then snigger, then the late Vladek Sheybal is ideal. Pity we don't have character actors like him anymore.
I think he became Vladmir Putin.
when i was a kid he seemed a lil funny looking but now that i m older he doesn t lol
great upload and definately a cool show for its time even if no one wears space suits in the intercepters and they only have one shot per intercepter
I am sure that some one more learned will correct me but I always thought they were supposed to be firing single warhead nukes out there in lunar space. We are all so much better informed nearly 50 years on as to military tech and tactics etc. Back in the day the interceptor tactics would have seemed reasonable to the average viewer. Writing for series television can be a little strange at times. You may decide to expound a less than perfect system for the writers in an imaginary world that does not complicate things for the viewer too much. Week after week the viewer will expect these rules to apply even if some 'advanced viewers' find flaws with choices made. Story, characters then believable tech. That should be the order of priority in good scifi. UFO got it right IMHO.
@@FandersonUfo Since no one else offered... The Interceptors were equipped with a 15 megaton tactical nuke. I think, it was either 5 or 15. anyway, that's why the Imterceptors were restricted to outside athmosphere. I was impressed with the advanced computers and tracking equipment. Cheers and thanx
@@arwanrhys5186 - TY Arwan - yes I am totally convinced it was supposed to be a megaton class device - I'll go further and suggest it was the only thing useful while the UFOs were exceeding light speed - mess up the space time continuum as the UFO enters the blast area sort of thing - 🛸👽💚👍🏻
The third moon interceptor always misses? Why don't they ever replace him?
What would they do if 4 ufo's appeared???
Counter affair, interceptor 3 was destroyed by UFO so they did replace him.
I first saw him in The Onedin Line I think when I first saw Jane Seymour, we had a black n white really then haha🥝🇳🇿😎
I find it interesting that many of the actors from UFO also worked on some Bond movies as character actors…UFO was a really cool show! And, who didn’t enjoy Gabrielle Drake:-) And, the fictional depiction of life in the 1980s! I used to have the Corgi interceptor…
I enjoyed this show back in the day. I thought Michael Billington was hot !
Smoking hot. Michael Billington was *this* close to being James Bond but they went with Roger Moore instead. I've always thought that was a big mistake. Though he was the soviet spy in "The Spy Who Loved Me".
The episode Computer Affair to me was the worst that didn't involve the cats. I didn't enjoy the mind game episodes as a teen watching this wonderful series. As I'm older I can appreciate that this series was not a traditional Anderson production aimed at kids that I grew up following ( my earliest that I can identify is Torchy). The follow up series to this, Space 1999, I watched whilst stationed in Germany with BAOR. It was titled Moonbase Alpha there.
It' hard not to notice that you are a true connoisseur of this series sir and your comments are most appreciated. Forgive me if I don't reply directly to each one as there is very little I feel I should presume to add to your remarks. Rest assured though if I see that colinp2238 has something to say it gets my full attention. Many thanks.
Thanks it maybe a case of being born in the right place at the right time. I only this year discovered Space Precinct so of course I binge watched that. There are also some productions that were unknown to me that I stumbled upon.
There are times when I wish Anderson could have totally ignored the American market as it was and still is. Sure lots of money to be made but the creative compromises required to be 'successful' there generally hamper originality. Please feel free to contribute as much of your considerable back-ground knowledge of this series as suits you sir. Please enjoy your weekend.
I was a child when it first came out, I was obsessed with Thunderbirds and Stingray. So this was quite a jump for a child, even though I watched it. There was then a rerun on late morning/ early afternoons on a Saturday in the 80s and that's when I really got into the charecters and storylines. I appreciated it so much more.
This is like the best sound of UFOs, except there was a kid's show with an emu from Venus where the UFO's went "wardle-de-lee-ahh" - and that was super cool too. 💜
Mrs . Sylvie Andersen see m.j s to have REALLY liked the "NEHRU" look, eh? It's ALL that "STRYKER" ever wears!

The costumes are very creative ... did I say creative?
This is your purple wig, you will become one with it, you will sleep with it and give it a name.

Ditto on what Scott Wood Said. Think of what modern special effects could do to this series in a remake!
The alien had jolly good dentist, perfect fillings.
It's the 21st Century now and we still don't dress as they do in this series.

Only problem? No air in space so no SOUNDS can be transmitted or heard.
If a new series was produced to pick up from where UFO stopped I'd love a few nagging questions to be answered: how on earth did those UFOs spin yet have an apparent internal living environment for the occupants? When I think about the technology involved I'm often reminded of other sci-fi shows like Dr Who and the Tardis or that fantastic Lost in Space first season episode, "Invaders from the fifth dimension" where a pearl shaped sphere sitting in a rock like cradle had a huge internal environment! Maybe I should take the body-less alien's advice when he said to Will Robinson, 'within this ship we exist in a field of fifth dimension, do not concern yourself with questions about its size as all that will be answered when we reduce you'! In my humble opinion UFO is still without peer. Probably the only recent sci-fi to come close in terms of story inventiveness was The Matrix, and in that only the first movie. Probably my favourite three UFO episodes are: "Survival", "Ordeal" and the amazing "Sound of Silence" which had some of the best FX of any Sci-Fi I've ever seen. The stand up fight with the UFO being depth charged and breaking the surface of the lake then battling the three Mobiles is second to none. I saw this episode in a large theatre on 35mm film many years ago and believe me there's a lot more to the FX than what you see on tv!
As soon as the UFO landed it had to hide because after spinning round and round for years in outer space the occupants would be as dizzy as f%@k and wouldn't be able to stand up.
Pretty sure Michael Billington in a sauna kick-started my puberty. One of many actors considered for Bond, James Bond. Sadly, Sir Roger had a lock on the role & Billington instead is Barbara Bach's lover @ the start of The Spy Who Loved Me. Bond kills him & thus her quest for vengeance. For a while.
I could never take Moore as Bond seriously. Roger Moore killing someone in cold blood as Bond has to at times - not convincing
And Mike Billington ended up in a long term relationship with Barbra Broccolli instead!
Made it difficult to cast her lover as Bond I would guess. A real shame to the legacy of the Bond films - no Billington as Bond and far too much Moore in the role. Oh well can't be remedied at this point.
FandersonUfo - And FAR TOO MUCH PIERCE BROSNAN for that matter! What on earth was Barbara Broccoli thinking of when she cast that total non-actor in the James Bond role? Nevertheless, I do agree that it would have been a lot of fun to have had Michael Billington kick-start my puberty. Oh, I wish!
I always thought Timothy Dalton could have made at least 2 more Bond films with out harming the franchise. I am surprised that too much Moore did not kill it. Poor Pierce tried his best but his contribution will not age well I think. Craig is starting to look a little old at this point. Have a nice evening sir.
i like this show because i m interested in alien life but strecker along with the whole cast are very good and believeable !

🤣🤣🤣..... UFO must have been a really campy show when if first aired in the 1970's! The UK's version of America's Batman and the Munsters. Love the purple wigs! LOL
Great times👍
dig the chicks in those one-piece cat-suits, the groovy music too spencer davis- trampoline at 1:43:39 cool, many thanks
Thought you might be interested that I had to replace The Beatles 'Get Back' for the earlier party scene at 1:31:13 due a world-wide copy-right ban by BMG. Ridiculous; as if someone would use that for an mp3 of a Beatles song but it is what is.

Love when the Mobiles open up with all guns on the U Fo .
@47'30 Lol, U-Haul got a new logo ^^
Muito bom seriado
Um,um, um. Paul Foster. I had such a crush on him as a giggly high school girl! 💓
Best thing about Space 1999 was Barbera Baines.. Her an Martin Landau where both in MISSION IMPOSSIBLE WITH. LEONARD NEMOY. (SPOCK).
Add a comments 440 I have watched the u.f.o. episode series since the 1964 for fifty eight years and I believe there are other demenions some where like space warps. From Barbara Holmes blue circle to the left.
Era el galan de la serie.Muy cumplido en su rol.🌹🍃🌹🍃A mi siempre me encanto Straker;very sexy and so dramatic.❤
I think they put FOSTER in as eye candy to boost ratings LOL!
He lost out to Roger Moore for the James Bond films. I think he would have made a better Bond than Moore.
and both were very handsome blokes, they could have chatted me up anytime...lol. hope your well frienderson. be well and safe you. Toodlepip.
@@sarasarah1810 - I'm sorry Sarah very busy this year or I would have some new videos for you - I always smile when I see you - you be well my favorite
He sure worked for me as eye candy!!!
Am still waiting for those silverware mini skirts to come out!
Sci-fi today... Science fact tomorrow, thanks to shows such a UFO,, Star Trek, among the top ones.. Ever done.
The men's fashion needs to come back. The ladies already has. And, the electric cars.
I'm not sure if the fishnet shirts of SkyDiver crews need to be revived.
@@FandersonUfo They were so cool: my dad had a string vest just like those..not so cool.
@@iconicshrubbery - they just don't look comfortable and would get hung up in switches and control levers in a cramped submarine imho - also a little too "Village People" for my taste - no disrespect intended to your dad who I'm sure is a wonderful father
Wow those space dudes can dance.
a suo tempo Foster era un bell'uomo
Prenderò la tua parola per quella Michela. Preferisco le parrucche viola io stesso.
Perché, non ti piace come uomo?
Le donne sono molto più attraenti, più intelligenti e di solito profumano meglio degli uomini. Inoltre in questo show sono intelligenti e molto professionali. Lo trovo sempre attraente in una femmina. Il tenente Ellis è molto attraente ma è anche più intelligente della maggior parte degli uomini che la circondano. Bravissima tenente.
sto parlando di bellezza non di intelligenza. Devo dire che questo è uno dei pochi films, come dici tu, che dà una giusta rilevanza ai personaggi femminili. Non solo bonazze, ma anche serie, professionali e intelligenti. Oggi hai notato quante più sceme infighettate e rifatte ci sono nei telefilms, soprattutto americani (in realtà ci sono quasi solo questi)? Una gran brutta involuzione direi
Gli americani hanno fatto di nuovo un errore. È sempre una buona commedia, errori americani. Hanno affamato il loro sistema educativo per anni. Il risultato non è buono. È serio ma io spesso ridono.
Su uno schermo televisivo tutto ciò che riguarda UFO è bellissimo. Soprattutto le idee per l'uguaglianza. Buon esempio per noi ora.
