Ordeal and Survival

croprobz
Since I'm not sure what the current UFO Episode discussion is:

In Ordeal, the thermostat in the sauna bath is set to about
118 degrees - _Centigrade_, 18 degrees above the boiling point
of water, little wonder poor Foster was having a nightmare.
I hope this temperature was not suggested by Ed Straker to
toughen him up. They mean 118 degrees F, surely.

After the party when Sylvia Graham picks up the note from
Paul Foster, then the camera switches to show the note, the
handwriting style has changed.

Who is the ring-in at the Research Centre?
They are going through the "F"s, so who let Rowan in?

In Survival, Henderson must have been away on holiday, with
dead astronaut Bill Grant being given a send off in a
multi-stage rocket. How much did that cost SHADO.
Couldn't they have just burried him on the moon, or was
the rocket taking him back to Earth?

Kevin.

Hmmm, are you sure? Seems like the saunas I've been to
are routinely set at 160 - 170 deg F.

I think he's being 'buried in space', a kind of futuristic version
of the old tradition of sailors being buried at sea. You're quite
right, it must be somewhat expensive.

Right - but 100 C = 212 F :)

A bit above 170F.
