Mary Veres' recent email regarding 'How did Henderson
become the bad guy?' is right on the money. To me,
this is the biggest mystery of 'UFO' - what caused the
friction between Straker & Henderson?

We know from 'Confetti Check A-OK' that Henderson
wanted Straker to run SHADO because he was still
recovering from the injuries he sustained in
'Identified'. But in 'Conflict', and all the
subsequent episodes featuring Henderson, there is this
friction between him and Straker which has never been
explained. I personally don't have a clue, I wouldn't
even like to hazard a guess because I feel if I was to
do so it would just come out contrived-sounding, I
really can't offer a rational explanation. We don't
get any clues from the 'UFO' novel either.

Do we know if Ed bishop or Gerry Anderson have ever
commented on this query? Is this the sort of thing
that they might have been asked at aconvention
perhaps? I'm intrigued to find out & I'd be interested
in knowing if any other fans have any theories on this
subject.
