Ed Straker Screen Saver

Hi All, What about a Ed Straker Screen Saver. Is their one
available. That would look good when I boot up. Elaine

Hi All,
I will inform the list about the next run of UFO episodes on the sat
TV CANAL JIMMY.
Infact, from the italian magazine SATELLITE August 2001, I read:

CANAL JIMMY
28 August '01
h 23.50: UFO-IDENTIFIED
CANAL JIMMY
Giovedì 30 August '01
h 0.25: UFO-IDENTIFIED <abc>
CANAL JIMMY
Venerdì 31 August '01
h 20.00: UFO-IDENTIFIED <abc>
--

key <abc> write from SATELLITE near to the title of 30 and 31 August,
is: "original version with italian subtitles".

Please do, Steve. I use pics of him from Lisa's site for my wallpaper, but
a screensaver would be great!

Years ago there was a UFO flight sim for free on-line, does anyone
have it still, and if so could they upload to the files section?

Thanks

Actually, I just uploaded it to

There was a space traveler named Wright
Who liked to go faster than light
He started one day
In a relative way
And came back the previous night!

Thank you for the file, I'll have to load it back up on my old 120
mhz 95 machine since it seems to crash out of the game for some
reason under 2000

Hi all,

It's been 2 months since we decided to take a break from the episode
of the week discussions. Shall we start up again, or should we
continue to take a break? After all, August is typically a slow
month for the mailing list, due to many people being on vacation.

If we want to begin again, the next episode on the list is:

THE SQUARE TRIANGLE

Fine. I like the idea of discussing the episodes, especially now that I
have them all. But I hate this episode, so don't expect to hear from me
this week. Maybe next week, since whatever episode it is, it'll be an
improvement on this one.

Unfortunatly, I only have a couple of the episodes on tape that
Amazon.com offer, I only have vague recollections of seeing the show
on Tv when I was 4. IS there any place to see the shows streaming on
the net or at least some small cheesy mpegs of the shows so I can get
an idea what they were about?
If not, Anderson should set up a place on the net to watch all the
different shows, I'd pay for that subscription I want my Atv!!!

Someone like to let me know how this Episode-of-the-week discussion works?

I'm new to the list but have been a fan of UFO since its inception...and
grew up with Torchy, Stingray, Fireball and Thunderbirds. I've also seen
most of the UFO episodes in 3 countries and two languages (but all shown on
a Saturday morning) - the UK, Germany and the US, which is where I am now,
San Francisco to be exact. I am also a fan of Star Trek and, following an
initial loathing of Voyager, became an avid convert from the third series.

I have a few episodes on tape but would like to know more about the DVD
versions. Anyone know what regions they will be produced for? If anyone has
any episode in DIVX/CD format (or knows of a site), let me know. I've
scoured GNUtella with LimeWire and Bearshare but with no success.

I guess my favourite character was the Doc, something sinister and cold war
about him, especially the way he said "Straker". Favourite episode? The one
where the probe followed the UFO back to its home world...I also liked the
strange radiophonic whistle the lunar hopper made.

Another thing, I've never been to any kind of convention in my life but
would make an exception for UFO, especially if I get enough notice, so if
you have dates and venues, let me know.

Dave.

The only pure-UFO conventions held these days are in Italy. If you
want an English-language convention, then the FANDERSON conventions
are your best bet. The next FANDERSON convention will be held next
May, just outside Birmingham England. Although the FANDERSON
conventions are devoted to all Gerry Anderson productions, I think
that you'll find there's enough to satisfy a UFO fan. At least, *I*
was quite satisfied by the previous FANDERSON convention, and am
planning on going to the next one.

"The Square Triangle", hmmmmm. I haven't seen that episode for a
while, but I think I quite enjoyed it. From what I remember the only
thing that was occasionally off-putting was Patrick Mower's cheesy
acting in parts, but on the other hand he was playing a womaniser and
manipulating the lady in question to remove her husband from the
love "triangle". My memory is hazy on the middle part of the story
but the last few minutes of the episode are superb. Without hopefully
giving too much away, the realisaton that they've been given the
amnesia (<sp?) drug and then later the chilling end credits sequence
(the only time it changed in the series) are superb highlights of the
show.

One of the many good points about UFO is that the producers/writers
of the show didn't feel it was necessary to always end on a high. So
often we are treated to an hour of drama, where crimes have been
committed and people killed, and then you get the happy tag sequence
at the end where everyone's laughing, seemingly oblivious to what's
gone before. That was so superbly spoofed in the "Police Squad" tv
series where the characters had a laugh and the action supposedly
froze - except it didn't and they just tried to stand very still!
Having looked at only a few episodes very recently I was surprised
when "Computer Affair" actually ended with a wry smile on Straker's
face. Of course, this is not a normal occurence and you only have to
think of the way the first episode ends - very darkly.

Even my least favourite episodes of "UFO" are still good and
enjoyable and the "The Square Triangle" certainly isn't at the bottom
of the list.

I quite like The Square Triangle, but if you really 'hate'
an episode, then all the more reason to comment on it!
No-one (I hope) will take it personally and it might make for
an interesting discussion.

For some reason I always feel more inclined to comment on the
episodes I dislike than the ones I enjoy more .. maybe you're
not as mean-spirited and unpleasant as me :)

It's not one of the very best episodes, but it's a long way
from being one of the worst in my opinion. I'd personally be
really interested to know why you dislike it.

Actually Dave's post (hello & welcome Dave!) also reminded me
that we have a wide spectrum of opinion regarding individual
episodes - Dave's favourite episode being 'Close Up', which I
personally think is pretty dire! Can't wait for that one to
come round in Episode of the Week again ;)

Cheers
James

Hi All,

update on ISOSHADO UFO MERCHANDISE COLLECTION

Two new scans from the germany magazine BRAVO N° 32 (1971). The text
is in germany language; the two photos (of Ed Straker and Ed Bishop)
are interesting. The Straker's photo is from TIMELASH, and the
Bishop's photo is taken in family attitude with a dog.

You can see this update on the news of:

Sounds good to me because Square Triangle is one of the ones I have on tape
and I can take part at last.
