HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GITO!

[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Hi All,

Just to let you know that the 2nd part of 'Standby for Action' is
finally being shown on Sky Channel 158 tomorrow at 12:50am (I suppose
technically on Tuesday...)

Doubtless, as with part 1 it'll be repeated countless times over the
next few weeks.

Best to all :)

Griff:

For those of us who only get BBC America, what is "Standby for Action"?

Hi Wendy,

Standby for Action is a two-part (eqch 60 min inc. breaks) TV program
about - quote - "Looking back at the life and career of legendary
producer Gerry Anderson."

I am using Sky+ to record it - will probably put it onto DVD. The
first episode covered all the early programs up to the Secret Service.
Hopefully, the 2nd part will cover UFO in a big way.

Hope this helps,

Griff

The first part of Standby for Action! ran only 40 minutes without adds, and I am assuming that the second does. In part 2 UFO and Space 1999 are dealt with within 13 minutes and the rest covers his career up to the present.

I've gotten one report that the UFO coverage in Part 2 is about
5 minutes. Also, the opening sequence for Part 2 is a fast-cutting
compilation of Gerry's work from UFO to present, done to the music
from UFO.

Here's the opening sequence to that, in MP4 format:

Thanks for uploading the MP4 Marc. I didn't see any clips from Space
Precinct, did I blink and miss it or has Gerry disowned that show?

Someone on the Fanderson group noted that this documentary skipped
several things, including THUNDERBIRD 6, DOPPELGANGER, SPACE PRECINCT,
and LAVENDER CASTLE.

Hi all,

Sometime in the past, I decided not to have UFO ringtones on my
UFO website. As a result, one of the more common e-mails I get
from fans is where can they find UFO ringtones? So I'm curious
(knowing nothing about ringtones -- I barely even use my cellphone),
is there a website I should direct people to for UFO ringtones?
Do people here have UFO ringtones on their phones?

Just curious,

Marc

For Verizon phones such as the Verizon LGVX 8300 and some others, you can email the mp3 file from Marc's site to the cell phone. e.g. if phone number is 555-555-5555, you would email the mp3 file to [hidden email], then save it as a ringtone.

With this technique, the only cost was receiving the message(25 cents).

Okay, amazingly enough, I have now seen the entirety of this show
(although in less-than-perfect quality), and I don't think you can
say that Gerry's opinion of a series had anything to do with whether
or not it was covered. For example, Terrahawks gets a surprising
amount of coverage, yet they then show Gerry saying that he didn't
like the series! So obviously it was the producer who made
the decisions about what was covered and what wasn't.

As for UFO, it features some new interviews with Gerry, but he
basically tells the same stories that he told in the Fanderson
UFO documentary, and since its a short segment, it's really
only a summary of what the show was about, the idea of heart
transplant surgery giving him the idea that the Aliens were
after organs, and the story about how the ratings fell which
caused the cancellation of season 2. Add to this a few clips
from UFO, and that was the entire UFO coverage.

Basically, part 2 covered UFO for a bit, Space:1999 for a bit
more, Terrahawks, and the New Captain Scarlet.

Simple, just load the UFO theme to your phone via a USB cable and then set
it as the ringtone, that way you can always look forward to your next call!!
LOL

I have the theme as my ringtone and SID alerts me of a voicemail or a
text message. Every time my phone rings I always get questions about it.

It's a good introduction to discuss the show.
