A good indicator?

Hi All,

Just curious, has anyone done a novelization of the UFO scripts? The two UFO novels looks like the scripts of the first few episodes were written or dramatized into prose form (correct me if I am wrong).
Maybe someone can do the same for the rest of the episodes/scripts.

Maybe even have A&E (owners of UFO rights?) allow it to be published.

A&E just has the rights (for a limited time) to publish the DVDs in Region
1 -- nothing else. Carlton (AFAIK) owns all rights to UFO.

check out the SHADO Library:
http://www.shadolibrary.org/library/deborah/paths1.htm,
http://www.shadolibrary.org/library/deborah/paths2.htm
http://www.shadolibrary.org/library/deborah/primary1.htm

are fan-written novelizations of scripts.

Shawn,

I have to agree. It's a neat item and all but right now, it's not
tops on my purchase list. Also something that would really be cool would
be a "S.H.A.D.O. Technical Manual." I don't know if one has ever been
published or not but that would really be neat.

Well, there was Angelo Finamore's SHADO Tech Manual -- some scans are
on my site at:

http://ufoseries.com/artofufo/

Also, Angelo was putting up an online version of it at:

http://www.ufotv.it/ART.htm

Marc

Also I had the UFO Series Guide out on the web.
Angelo's is VERY cool, I have a copy.

Marc,
I wrote to Nick saying that I'm very interested in the script books and hope
they continue them throughout the entire series. But the DVDs and my trip
to the Con this year make it difficult to fork over the extra $$ for more
UFO stuff until next year. Free would be good, though. I certainly won't
complain about free. I have all of the scripts from your site and look at
them often. Thanks for all your work on them!
Yours,
Denise

Marc,

Groovy. Oh BTW, if I get the capital together I'd love to get the
script books as reference material and as an interesting piece to my
sci-fi collection. Its just that it's not a top priority purchase right
now.

Marc, I am glad to see so much activity on the UFO site. I was interested in
a UFO Tech section. Angelo has the best tech manual I know of to date. As
you know I have some 3D CGI versions of most of the main shado equipment
including side arms. I would be will to provide images if someone else
wanted to do the tech specs. I also have some new CGI Shado images of an
advanced Skydiver and others. Let me know if anyone is interested. I do not
have a web site to display them. Gordon.

Yes, and a jolly good effort it is, too. However, I think a SHADO Tech Manual would have to be accompanied by text. I'd want prose describing how the stuff actually works, functions etc. in the style of th Star Trek Tec
h Manual.

This immediately runs into problems. Pretty much all would have to be speculative. Many folks have a problem with this. Indeed some are severely anal about it :-) This was where the most complaints about Chris Drake's
Boxtree book originated.

So yes to a tech manual, but it might be a tricky exercise for the
poor devil who had to set about the task.

Dave.
