(See <http://www.framecaplib.com/ufolib/top20/top20.htm>.) I AM SURE that picture will ALWAYS be in the top 20 UFO pictures. Sorry Lisa. At the time UFO came out I was young and innocent - (5th grade) - and just found out Girls definately DO NOT HAVE "Kooties" (Some desease you would catch if a another fifth grade girl kissed you if you were a boy). Lt Ellis hit right at the same time Hormones started to hit. Lt Ellis was one of my first "loves." She was a Babe when I was ten and she is still a "Babe" at forty!:) Imagin what Lt Ellis might do on modern late night television with todays lax standards for what you can get away with on television! What scens might a modern day Lt Ellis be involved in? (No Offense intended - the following scenarios are meant to stimulate conversation and innocent fun. I have the highest respect for women (or my wife and daughters would kill me) Scene 1: Lt Ellis retires from a had day at the moonbase console and finds all THREE interceptor pilots waiting in her quarters. ... Bam - the ratings just go off the charts! Scene 2: Lt Ellis falls under the mind control of Aliens and stroles into the Moonbase Command Sphere wearing nothing but a smile and demanding that Shado surrenders....:) Scene 3: Lt Ellis and Colonel Lake find and attraction for one another and share a warm embrace and a deep passionate kiss. (Its not like two thirds of weekly programming like ALi McBeale - and countless others have not used such a tactic to gain ratings.) Scene 4: Paul Foster is ABDUCTED (again!) by an ALIEN female Dominatrix (that looks just like LT Ellis - :)) and abuses him in an effort to get Shado to Surrender. JUST in FUN Guys...please take it that way.... |
Okay just in fun here is one you didn't think of that would up the ratings.
Lt. Ellis is taking a shower when SID annouces incoming UFO's she grabs a towel and sprints for the control sphere where she she takes over the center console and takes charge. In no time flat the UFOs are space debris! Comander Straker calls to congratulate Moonbase and finishes with "Lt. Ellis, aren't you a bit out of uniform?" causing Gay to notice the placement of her towel. (Placement of the towel is subject to what sort of ratings we are aiming for!) James K.(wondering if he can work this into his script.) [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] |
Why bother with the towel! This is an emergency! :)

Okay, but that means it will have to be photographed with strategic placement of camera angles so items of Moonbase equipment block the lower front of Gay's anotomy. U.S. TV is way past time for allowing bare breasts but full frontal nudity is still many years away unlike Canada and the rest of the free world. James K.

It's already too easy to poke fun at, what with the purple wigs and other outlandish fashions. Given the tendency of the general public to regard sci-fi TV as inconsequential and superficial, I think topless Moonbase girls would have been a bit of a disaster. |

That's because the only thing on Moonbase Mister Gibbon wants to see with the covers off is the equipment. Pinups of the Interceptors, SID, SkyDiver, the Mobiles, Straker's car, the Jeeps etc are more his style. To each their own James! James K. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] |

Don't get me wrong either. We were talking about a idea of episode that
would be a one time thing. And on top of this we weren't talking of doing it seriously but as a joke. But on the other had if it was done for real how would that hurt crediblity? Nudity hasn't hurt the crediblity of other Sci-Fi series. It was used in the cable versions of Outer Limits, Stargate SG-1, the satellite version of The Lost World. It sure didn't hurt the credibility of Star Trek The Next Generation when in a episode they had Picard walk into a art class and you could she the female artist model totally nude backside and this was on local channels in syndication. And just to give you one more it didn't hurt the credibility when in Space:1999 in the episode Mission of The Darians you got to see briefly the bare breast of the female body being stripped as it was picked up for "recycling".

UFO tends to be a bit on the cheesy side anyway. It's better not to set itself up for more bad jokes by having full frontal nudity of the female cast members. You don't know how hard it was to say that. :-) Tom Bryant [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] |

What is wrong with "Tech" Pin-ups? I happen to have a number of them framed in my office. I see nothing wrong with this sort of thing.B T W: You don't get dinged for sexual harrasement if they are machines, rather then babes.

The fashions may seem "Outladish" now but they were "Mod" (Or should I say FAB?) then. A lot of styles look silly twenty or thirty years down the road.As far as nudity goes, I would be willing to bet that there might be some in the UFO movie if it ever gets off the launch pad. It seems like you can't make any kind of movie now with out a gartudious (SP?) sex scene or two in it.
