We used to live in a very sub-urban area.  At the front there was a very new (at the time) housing estate.  At the back it was literally open country; fields, forests, country tracks and lanes, etc.  It was like two different worlds right next to each other.  The point is, within five minutes walking one way I could have been at the shops, at school or on a busy main road.  Five minutes the other way and I would have been in the middle of nothing but unspoiled countryside.  So the suggestions that the house and the studios were somehow 'ten miles' away from country lanes and fields is not really credible.  

I always thought that Cat... was a bit insane, but it never struck me as bad.  I suppose they were all just trying to push UFO in different directions, possibly hoping that these could be explored more fully if a proper second series was commissioned.  Jackson seemed a bit mad, so maybe he was just letting his imagination get the better of him.  Maybe he was wrong on some of his theorising, but right on others.  I guess we'll never know.
