Hi Kevin...welcome to the group. I too am a newish member. I use to
love late Sat. nights in the early 70's when they sceened what
looked like more 'adult' episodes of UFO. I live in what was
then 'Southern Television' region.
I Still have on video tape some episodes of UFO aired
by 'TVS's' 'late night late' in the 1980's with interviews with Ed
Bishop and that famous wig. Ken
