Gordon's recollections for Anglia are very accurate. Most of the episodes were repeated in the early months of 1974 on Sunday mornings before switching to repeats late on Thursday nights in the summer of 1974 to complete the run. I couldn't find episode titles for two weeks but these were probably when Exposed and Ordeal were broadcast. I would presume Exposed was repeated second on 13th January with Ordeal probably on 7th April. Probably the only way of properly identifying these episodes would be to check an Anglia TV Times for those weeks or a local newspaper as national papers normally only list "UFO" when the episode was a repeat. Interestingly the late night repeats were almost all second block episodes which generally had more adult themes.
Here is a list of the repeats on Anglia in 1974:

No record for Exposed or
Ordeal – probably shown on either of 13th January or 6th April.
It would be useful to have a wider list of repeats as these were the way many viewers - especially younger ones - first saw the show. Although I did see the show on its first broadcast I was too young to have any proper memory of it. I do remember seeing repeats on Sunday afternoons in the Granada area around 1976 - for some reason my abiding memory is of the closing titles, not any details from the stories or even the opening titles and music. I know I really enjoyed the show but the closing titles made the really big impression and I still find them very powerful today.

Hello Gordon......Welcome.
As an avid fan of UFO,watching the series in the Midlands area
at the time,I can tell you that as far as the
Midlands is concerned,the re-run started on Sunday 30th December
1973 until around May 1974.I say around May 1974 because it then
changed to a late Saturday night slot in order to show the more adult
episodes.The end of that run co-incided with the start of the 1974
World Cup in Munich in June.
The time of transmission for Sunday was Lunchtime,normally around
1.15.It was usually,at least to start with,
preceded by Weekend World introduced at the time by Peter Jay and
laterly by the American family cartoon Wait Till Your Father Gets
Home.It was followed by Star Soccer.
The Anglian episodes overlapped with the Midland episodes.I am not
sure exactly how the overlap occured,but I can check,as I have a lot of
old TV TImes from that time.
