But what was "right" in 1970 isn't necessarily right in 2010. To me it
makes no sense at all to try to recreate the faux-futuristic 1970 feel
of UFO. I really do think that it would be unacceptable to a modern
audience. It just wouldn't make sense. The 40-yr old period feel would
be inexplicable and incongruous.
