I agree - it would have been very much in the spirit of UFO to
do this - watching UFO as a child, it often seemed rather
disturbing and sinister and to have one of the main characters
actually die would have emphasised the 'dark' side.

Although as a practical matter I believe Peter Gordeno hadn't
actually decided to leave while they were still shooting.
