Hi all,
Last week's episode "Survival" back to awful print and sound quality. Amazingly, there were *no* edits whatsoever :-O SHADO are on the offensive, although this doesn't last long, turning into the usual state of crisis management. It's always struck me how the issue of "racial prejudice" is visually contrasted, you don't get much whiter than Straker ;-) It's the alien that steals the show and the ending is just devastating; surely those stupid astronauts would have noticed the very alien looking device attached to Paul's spacesuit? Anyway, that's real prejudice. There's no discussion whatsoever about the alien's intentions, was it genuine friendship or a universal need to survive? And Foster's girlfriend gets just what she doesn't want. Lots of unanswered questions and a lose-lose for all, similar to AQOP. The ep is suspenseful throughout and the incidental music is just right. I have to say that the special effect sequence where the UFO crashes into the moon mobile is my favourite from any episode don't know why it's just brilliant! :-D Tonite's ep is being recorded as I type "Mindbender" the one *somebody* didn't like their performance in could it have been Ed Bishop himself? ;-O More on this one later ;-) Sarah |

> *somebody* didn't like their performance in – could it have been Ed > Bishop himself? The rumor was that whoever didn't like their performance in that episode wanted the episode not broadcast during the BBC's broadcast of UFO in the late '90s. Ed Bishop does not strike me as the sort of person who want to prevent the episode from being shown. Marc |

Hi there this is the actor who played the part of the alien in survival and others glad to see your nice words about the alien performance . why did they shoot me......i dunno you just have to hear the word...''alien'' that's it....must be a baddie......must get rid of him or it. well who knows...what went on in the mind of the writer of that episode ....only he knew and as in everything else....it is after the event that '''oh ! it could have been like this or like that.'' or shouldn't have done this or that etc...I am sure you know what I mean. the only thing I can tell you all.....enjoy the show whilst it lasts. all the best gito santana In [hidden email], "moonbasegirl" <shaded2cinders@...> wrote: > > Hi all, > > Last week's episode "Survival" back to awful print and sound > quality.
