My top ten things i love about U.F.O.

1. UFO was to me the first show to have the human aspect in a sci-fi show at
the forefront.
Meaning it was not about the gadgets, they were more second nature. Example
the Responsibility Seat - Straker's conflicts or the Computer Affair with
its interracial
mixture.

2. Ok, second nature, the gadgets. The concept of SkyDiver, two thumbs up.

3. Moonbase

4. The Moonbase girls! Lt. Ellis! always my top choice. Even when she was on
the Avengers in the Hidden Tiger.

5.  Moonbase.

6. SeaGull X-Ray, I love the design. Been waiting for it to show up in
Flight Sim.

7. The Cars, even though era cars were used. The Shado cars were awesome.

8. The episodes, they covered a whole range of ideas and thought's, they
were not stagnated into the 'Star Trek - Wagon Train to the stars'
scenrio or the 'Lost in Space - you have got to be kidding' scripts.

9. The music. Even today look at the numerous variations being done on
Youtube. The fan CD's that were produced that caused a rage on the internet
that even Fanderson released to compete [my opinion]. When I listen to the
one that our resident magician created, I still think of Dave.

10. The following. The fans are more dedicated to Gerry Anderson then people
can believe, I am a Fireball XL-5 fan. The fan's of UFO are top's. Thanks to
Marc and all those here.

That's my top 10 list.

Did I mention Gay Ellis and the other Moonbase beauties? Those purple wig
wonders.
