UFO NIGHTLY

Am I the only person who prefers to watch UFO in the early hours of the morning, say from 1am to 5am? It just doesn't work for me in the afternoons or early evening. Difficult to explain why!

You are not alone! The Cat With 10 Lives, The Long Sleep etc are best aftermidnight. The seance... the 'trip' at the farmhouse... akin to horror films in a way. There's something dislocated/ unsettling about them which suitsviewing at such unearthly hours. I can see why some of them would suit Sunday lunchtimes - Confetti Check springs to mind, more straightforward stories (takes me back to the repeats in 1976 and 1986) - but the creepy ones are definite late-night fare. Preferably without interruptions from mildly disinterested other halves!

Mildly disinterested partners??? I have to watch UFO on my laptop in the lounge with headphones because otherwise my husband makes snide comments!!!  However, I still haven't watched Ouestion of Priorities because i somehow can't summon up the courage!   i remember it being too sad ( watchedit last in the 70's when i was a teenager!!)

Wow I feel guilty, I watch it with my 2 high school friends while drinking beer and eating Chinese food (It's a long story). Except for the beer, nothing has changed in 35 years!

I have never tried to get my wife to watch. I know the limits of our relationship :)

As we approach the 15th anniversary of this discussion
group, it always surprises me when someone comes up
with an observation that (I don't believe) hasn't
been discussed so far... :-)

Maybe you can change his opinion by wearing the Lt Ellis costume?

Is Butt-man a bit like Superman only more argumentative?

It explains all the tight trousers that the women wore, in UFO and Space 1999, mind you so was the mens gear lol.

Not really sure why the message from David Richards, suggesting that I try dressing up as Gay Ellis to persudae my husband to watch UFO with me, went directly to my Spam box!!!
Sorry to disappoint you David - but I only have a Lt Uhura outfit!!!  (Star Trek fan as well as UFO! Scandalous) But you have given me something to think about!
