Well, it's obviously there *are* bloopers in UFO, so why not
accept it rather than try to deny it? You could even learn
to love the bloopers, if you try... :-)

Didn't she run away from home? That would imply to me that she
was neither married or divorced.

I thought we heard from Straker (was it KILL STRAKER?) that
"nobody quits SHADO?"

Where would a 2nd interceptor missile fit? As it is, there isn't
enough room for any fuel in the Interceptors either. And don't
get me started on CLOSE UP, where the Interceptors are quoted
as flying faster than the speed of light!
