Just to add to these examples there's a scene in one episode on Moonbase where Foster is having some private conversation and detects that Joan Harrington is listening in. He get in the line, "Do we have it on positive track?" to cleverly let Joan know he's picked up on her eavesdropping. A nice little dig which could easily slip under the radar.

Well done, Louise...
Those are great examples.
I love that bit in Ordeal when the doctor says to Joe Franklin, something along the lines of: "Come on, Franklin. If all else fails, I'll remove that blabber round your middle surgically!" ...
That bit in Survival, when Foster and Straker have just arrived. It's obvious Paul Foster wants to go wherever the Moongirl is going. "Come on, Paul. Let's go to Control..." You can almost hear Foster go, "DOH
!"
...and soon after in Moonbase Control. Straker on Joan Harrington, "That's cream and sugar, please..."
Harrington.. . "Yes, Sir" ... through gritted teeth.
In Conflict, Joan Harrington to Col Freeman about Straker. "Sly old...
Fox!"
One of the funniest is in Close Up, when Paul Foster walks in on Gay Ellis and Ed Straker. "... and never forget, you're a VERY attractive girl..." ... the look on Foster's face is just classic.
Confetti Check A-O.K.... Yeah, we blew it!
And there's loads and loads more humo(u)r (okay Louise :) in UFO!!
Regards,
Griff
