wicked1 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 My brother-in-law has the entire Space 1999 series on videotape somewhere out in our garage. (When I typed that I thought it as "gair-age" rather than "guh-ROJ" just so you'd feel more at home). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Tari Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Naw never seen any of those. When we were watching shows from BBC, It was late night after Saturday night live in the early 70's. Are you being served, Benny Hill, And Monty Pythons Flying Circus were my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluemoon Posted April 29, 2009 Author Share Posted April 29, 2009 UFO' date=' never heard of that series. :- [/quote'] It wasn't on long--a year or two, I think. Here is the premise: In the year 1980, a secret military organization named "SHADO" (Supreme Headquarters Alien Defence Organisation) becomes operational. Its purpose is to defend the Earth from Aliens who've been kidnapping humans for body parts. SHADO's main headquarters is hidden beneath a London film studio. It also has a base on the moon (Moonbase) and a fleet of submarines (Skydiver). Incoming UFO's are initially detected by an Earth orbiting satellite named "SID" (Space Intruder Detector). An initial interception attempt is made in space with three Interceptors launched from Moonbase. A second attempt is made in the Earth's atmosphere with a fighter plane (Sky One) launched from Skydiver. Landed UFO's are tracked down with ground Mobiles.
