Hi, there. I'm new to the list also. Not new to the program, however.

I remember thinking that 1980 wasn't that far ahead and would they really
have those wonderful looking cars by the time I was old enough to learn to
drive. (I was born in '61 and was an Anderson fan for a while before UFO hit
the screens). I remember some of the plots being way above what I was used
to (hardly surprising, since it had real people all the way through), but to
this day, it's probably my favourite Anderson show.

I got the Channel5 videos way back when, but now I'm looking to replace
those edited versions they insisted shipping out with the real thing.

Hi everyone,

I decided to be brave and introduce myself to the
list because today is my first anniversary - one
year ago today I saw my first episodes of UFO. (I
am 24 years old)

The first thing I saw was the end of Reflections
in the Water, with the psychedelic lighting of the
underwater dome, & I think it was that
'futuristic' look that hooked me. Now I have the
whole series (I live in the UK so luckily I could
get the Digital Entertainment videos) my favourite
aspect of the series is, ahem, Commander Straker
and the way he copes with the responsibility of
heading SHADO. I guess I find it comforting to
think that there would be dedicated people like Ed
and the others looking after the world if the
worst ever happened...

Also, & I hope this isn't crazy, watching UFO has
given me a different perspective on 'real life'
situations, for example this week with the loss of
the Russian submarine.

Anyway, now I am resigned to a life of hankering
after Nehru jackets and purple wigs - not to
mention blue-eyed men :-) I think I'll go and
watch Timelash to celebrate.

(Apologies if I haven't sent this message
correctly.)
