UFO script.

Great work Marc. Who'd have thought after all these years there would be an
unfilmed script turn up. I wonder if there are more about. They were
anticipating a full second season ,so no doubt there must have been scripts
about. Hope they all didn't end up in the vaporiser.

I guess that depends on what part of the world you live in. LOL.
Well Marc does a fair job at fanfic if it is an April fools. And of course
we'll expect some contributions to the library <giggle>

Hmmmm, it appears my credibility has been hampered by posting
this too close to April Fools Day... I guess I'll have to
make an additional web entry on the 2nd, which presumably
will be more believable? :-)

Meanwhile, here is an earlier section of the script.
