UFO "behind the scenes" film - does any exist?

Hi,

I've just been watching the new 'Dr. Who Confidential' TV programme
which shows "behind the scenes" film of the cast and crew preparing
for shots of both characters and special effects, also interviews
with them about the episode.

I couldn't help thinking how lucky the fans are to have such a
record and it made me wonder if any "behind the scenes" film of UFO
exists.

I imagine anything that is out there would be 'unofficial', but
people had cine film cameras in those days! Maybe in all the film
sources used to produce the UFO DVDs, some film might have been
found other than the actual episodes?

P.S. For those of you that haven't seen the new Dr Who, the daleks
really can go up stairs!!! Wonder how the diehard fans took that?!

Well, we saw one go upstairs in an Remembrance Of The Daleks so it isn't the
first time they did that :o)

Cheers,

This dieahard fan wasn't too surprised, because one was shown going
upstairs in the last Doctor Who Dalek story, 'Remembrance Of The
Daleks', 17 years ago, as well - in quite a similar way, but without the
benefit of CGI :D

Sorry, I obviously missed this. With all the fuss being made about
it, it seemed this was a totally new experience! The dalek was being
taunted in the episode because it was apparent the characters thought
it couldn't climb stairs. Does this mean the writers/ producers
didn't do their research properly??

IRO behind the scenes footage of UFO, I suppose if any had been
found, it would have included it as extras with the DVDs. There are
some still photographs on the Carlton set and the anecdotes Gerry
Anderson and Ed Bishop relate in their commentaries. I don't have
the A&E sets and I would love to hear the commentaries by Mike
Billington/ Alan Perry and Wanda Ventham/ Sylvia Anderson. Do either
of these commentaries have any interesting stories that someone
would be willing to describe here?

Not really - remember that the characters had never seen a Dalek
before, even if the viewers had. Although I do think that that particular
scene was a nod to the old jokes about Daleks not being able to
follow you upstairs, I don't think the fact that it had been done before
was indicative of a lack of research.

Has anyone ever written a UFO/Dalek crossover? :D
