What Countries Has UFO Been Shown in?

Hi all,

Fanderson chairman Chris Bentley was recently asked by
Gerry Anderson how many countries UFO has been shown in,
and so far he's compiled the following list of countries
that he knows about:

Australia
Austria
Belgium
Canada
France
Holland
Italy
Japan
New Zealand
Spain
United Kingdom
United States
West Germany

Since this list has members from around the world, I was
wondering if anyone knows of other countries that UFO
has been broadcast in that we could add to this list?

Thanks!

Marc

Add Mexico to the list! Used to watch them, every Sunday night at
7pm, I probably was around 8 years old!

Since I had only watched the episodes in spanish, it was very
interesting to hear for the first time Straker's, Foster's (and the
rest) voices in english (when I bought the few UFO episodes on VHS a
couple of years ago)! I kinda think that the voices in spanish
sounded better!

Add the Philippines in the list, it was first shown in Manila in 1972(?).

It too was quite popular among my brothers, classmates, and friends when it came out. The two UFO paperback novels (U.K. version) were even available in the local bookstores (I still got 'em!).

Guys... Scratch Holland - it was NEVER aired here! Unfortunately...
So, what does the list look like right now?

Well, if we take the original list and add/subtract the countries
mentioned here, we'd have the following new list:

Australia
Austria
Argentina
Belgium
Brazil
Canada
Finland
France
Italy
Japan
Malaysia
Mexico
New Zealand
Philippines
Portugal
Spain
United Kingdom
United States
West Germany

Anyone know of any more countries that UFO has ever been
broadcast in?

Thanks!

Marc (who is wondering why Gerry Anderson would want this
information, unless he's preparing a pitch to make a
UFO feature film...)

Sort of on this topic-

I don't remember if I've told this story before on FAB-UFO aka SHADO but
the first time I saw UFO was in Germany on vacation with my parents. I
think I was around 11 years old (Guessing here) which makes it around
1973??? I believe I was in the Munich area. We did visit Munich at some
point during the visit and then made trips into Tegansee (sp?) which is the
small town in Bavaria where my mother was born.

The scene was on Moonbase, I remember clearly the purple wigs (And color TV
was a big deal to me back then!) and i believe Straker and Foster were
there as well. I couldn't watch the entire episode as we were going
someplace (This is 29 years ago!) and I don't speak German (Except for Ich
Bin American! No Sprechen Deutsch!) but I remember being thrilled by the
show and asking my mother to ask my uncle what the show was and when it
would come to America. I should have asked them to buy me UFO books!

Pls add Switzerland.
I recall episodes IN COLOR aired by the Italian-speaking Swiss TV channel
which could be received also where I live. It was around 1974.
Straker, Foster, whirring UFOs, and lovely purple wigs have been on my mind
since then.

Marc and everyone else as to the possiblity of Gerry wanting to know
which countries UFO was shown in for doing a pitch for doing a major motion
picture of it is possible. A couple of weeks ago when I was in the new
bookstore I spotted a new book titled "The Greatest Sci-Fi Films Never Made".
Well with a title like that I had to look and I found a whole chapter given
to the Thunderbirds movie or the lack of one. Scanning the chapter I didn't
get the whole of the thing but it seemed that what has delayed the film since
the idea was first announce was that Gerry was never happy with other people
doing the work. One comment that sparked a war was that he did want a
American scriptwriter doing what was a classic British series. This got a
angry response from the American scriptwriter doing the working concept
script saying something like Gerry had a lot of nerve when when he based the
series on American character who are basically the Cartwrights and the only
two British characters in the show are Lady Penelope and Parker. It just
shows how small minded people in Hollyweird can be and what can sink a movie
or TV show idea.

I've sent Chris Bentley the countries mentioned on this list, and he
sends his thanks to everyone who responded. He also says that he
hopes he'll be able to spill the beans about what it was for before
too long.

You don't suppose it might be for the Femme Fatales article perhaps?
