I think we did know that there was no gravity on the moon. It was hard to show no gravity in tv production terms. I may be wrong but I think some earlier shows had trampolines in certain places to simulate no gravity on the moon. I think since UFO did not have a big budget they just never mentioned it. Space 1999 mentions the gravity towers around the base. Star Trek the original series only showed no gravity in one episode. The Tholian Web with Capt. Kirk in space. Lost in Space had the first episode with no gravity but exaggerated movements. Great topic by the way.

Okay...here's another topic for discussion: By the time UFO started shooting, didn't they know that there was no gravity on the moon?

I can overlook the fact that somehow they've got artificial gravity on moonbase (have we actually achieved that accomplishment yet in space?) but, it's almost annoying in scenes like those dramatic shots in "Survival" where Foster and the alien are out on the lunar surface. Especially, that part where they are using a cable to cross a ravine...something totally unnecessary when one or two bounces and the lack of gravity would have easily gotten them across it far faster than the cable trick.

Well, no controversy intended, but the floor is open to discussion! ;-)
