used something like this too. Maybe Buck Rogers.

In 'The Responsibility Seat', there is a lighting or coloration problem that
makes the spacesuits worn by the Lt Ellis and Joan Harrington (or is it Nina
Barry?) take on a yellowish hue... maybe that's what you mean? It's near the
very end, just as the Russian mining rig is about to hit Moonbase.

Other than that, maybe your TV at the time was out of color balance...

day I saw an 'extended' or 'uncut' version of 'Computer Affair' when I was
about 14 that had the intro where Gay Ellis and the other were celebrating
Mark Bradley's birthday... it is SO real in my mind I know I saw it, and it
was years before that I became aware that that was actually part of the
script that had been edited out...

There are a few other scenes from 'Computer Affair' that I know I saw. I do
not remember seeing any other footage from other episodes though...

Best, Griff

I suppose it's possible -- there was that alternate version of THE
PRISONER episode "The Chimes of Big Ben", after all, and there was an
extra scene in the SPACE:1999 episode "The Metamorph" which several
people claimed to have seen. Where (what country/network/channel) did
you see this? And did your memory of what happened in the episode
match what was in the script?

That's really interesting about scenes that we
remember seeing--but then years go by and we can't
find them again upon reviewing it again. One of my
favorite films is "missing" a scene that I clearly
remember seeing; in fact, one of the actors even refer
to the scene--but I've seen the US cut, the Japanese
cut, the British cut...and that scene is not on them
anywhere! But..I know I saw it!!

Hi Marc,

Yes, it was in the UK, and the channel would have been either 'Anglia
Television' or 'Southern TV'.

Yes, the scene as I remember it matched entirely the scene as laid out in
the scripts I have subsequently seen of the 'Computer Affair'. I remember
the movements of the actors, Gabrielle Drake's face as the UFO alarm comes
in over the speaker, the way they held their drinks glasses. It is extremely
vivid in my memory, and I know I saw it. There was also a scene in Straker's
office with Freeman.

Best, Griff

I wonder if you are all thinking of the Mail book which does have this in it. SID anounces that it is Marks birthday and they haul out SHADO approaved Non-alcoholic champainge. A real alert from SID prevents them from doing anything else. I will see if I can dig up the book and scan in the page(s) for you.

No, because that wasn't in the script... :-)

I was a avid viewer of UFO when it was originally aired on Anglia TV,
I have no recollection of this "additional" scene. My ovriding memory
of Anglia was one of frustration in that they were behind the other
regions in showing the series. I think I'm also correct in saying that
ATV had started repeating the series whilst Anglia were still on the
original run - my father would sometimes would go up into the loft and
realign the aerial to pick-up ATV so I could watch UFO, allbeit the
picture was'nt quite perfect. Anglia were also very quick consign the
series to the graveyard slots, transfering it from the original Friday
evening slot, to Saturday tea time [I distinctly remember a episode of
UFO being cancelled because the 1971 Arsenal Liverpool Cup Final went
into extra time] then to Sunday lunch time. It would be interesting to
know if Anglia ever get around to showing the whole series, my
recollection is, they probably did'nt.

I was quite relieved when Anglia lost the franchise for our area and
we came under the umbrella of Yorkshire TV. Although, by then the
heyday of Anderson had passed and they did'nt turn out to much more
pro Anderson than Anglia had been, I mean they did'nt show
Thunderbirds until 1976. My only recollection of Yorkshire TV is of
trying to convince my parents to stay up and watch the the so called
banned episodes that were broadcast after the ten-o-clock news on
Wednesday nights.

Memories eh !

I have always been in the YTV area and recall that they used to screen
UFO concurrently with Anglia. Same times, episodes etc.

Anglia seemed mainly concerned with throwing out Sale of the Century
with Nicholas Parsons ("shouldn't climb tress...").
