That was exactly how i felt about Space 1999,i tried hard to like it but it
just wasn't UFO.I was gutted when UFO stopped,and that was it's replacement.

Me too,Di...UFO is the only t.v show i look forward to each week.I'm sorry
to hear that SKY has spoiled it for you.I can empathise,over Easter the show
went on hiatus for 2 weeks,i feared they had 'pulled the plug.' So its good
to meet another afficianado.
As far as i am concerned,if it's about UFO it belongs here,and i for one am
happy to discuss all things about UFO. So if you want to talk about set
design,costumes or make-up go for it,i'm listening. Speaking of which,it
seems that no matter how much pancake foundation Alec applies,it cant hide
his terrible complexion.I seem to have it in for our Alec dont i.
