WUSSTEST DU SCHON:
- WissenswertesIn the UK, people drive on the left side of the road and steering wheels are on the right side of the vehicle. However, in UFO's version of 1980s Britain, both of these have been reversed. The show's creators were simply going along with what was being predicted at the time, which was that the UK would switch its driving system sometime in the near future. That change never happened. Just as the U.S. was predicted to have switched to the metric system, which also didn't happen.
- PatzerAlthough set (and filmed) in the United Kingdom, all the futuristic cars are left-hand drive, and everyone drives on the right-hand side of the road. Several other series by the Andersons featured the same driving system, presumably because the UK was predicted to switch over sometime before the future events depicted. Flashback scenes showed the "normal" British driving arrangement.
- Zitate
Alec Freeman: I don't like this. This cloud gives about as much cover as a G-string on a belly dancer!
- Crazy CreditsDuring the opening theme, the show's title "UFO" is flashed on the screen for only a fraction of a second. It appears "officially" on screen at the end of the teaser sequence.
- Alternative VersionenMany episodes had censorship cuts for the Italian edition, for example Foster drunken in Ordeal (1970) or Straker's relationship with Jo Fraser in The Responsibility Seat (1971) and Freeman's many flirts and jokes about women.
- VerbindungenEdited into UFO: Distruggete Base Luna (1971)
Ausgewählte Rezension
I remember this show when I was a kid in the late 70's. Every so often it was on during Saturday afternoons. Always a fan of spaceships and such, I was hooked. I couldn't remember much other than the various vehicles and Ed Straker's hair.
I recently got the entire thing on DVD and yes it's kind of campy but it's so fun to watch. I love retro stuff. I love British programming. I love SciFi. For me this was a hit.
I can echo the comments of another poster who said that he must be the only American to have seen and remembered it. I felt the same way. All through the years I when the topic came up I would describe it and the series name and NO ONE would remember it to the point of questioning if there was such a series ever on American TV. There was. U.F.O.
As far as the criticism goes... Yes some of them are a bit true but that is part of what makes this a SciFi cult classic.
I love the series with all of it's campiness and am so happy to own it on DVD. I received it as a Christmas present and still haven't watched the entire thing. I take it in small doses in order to savor every last drop.
My favorite female is Joan Harrington (Antonia Ellis - what a beautiful lady) and although Ed Straker (Ed Bishop) is an awesome character I really enjoyed the "James Bond" like smoothness and eye for the ladies of Alex Freeman. (George Sewell)
My favorite prop was the liquor dispenser in Straker's office and how they are all smoking cigarettes. I don't smoke cigarettes but it's so 60's/70's.
I LOVE IT!
