White Horses. wtf was that about?+1, great theme tune too.
It wasn't but thanks to Thunderbirds etc, it got treated almost like one. Networks tended to put it out at odd times because they didn't quite know how to treat it.UFO was ace.
They've been broadcasting episodes on Forces TV (channel 181 on sky), I've just checked and there's one on tonight at 11PM.
Did you have the green truck where the roof flicked over to reveal a gun, spring loaded that you could fire matchsticks with it?It wasn't but thanks to Thunderbirds etc, it got treated almost like one. Networks tended to put it out at odd times because they didn't quite know how to treat it.
BTW, some pre-production was started on 'UFO 2' a proposed sequel but it fell through. Interestingly, some production designs were kept going and morphed into Space 1999 when Anderson got a deal for a new series. I have a soft spot for UFO as I was 6 when it was originally on and vaguely remember it. I used to have the Dinky toys too.
you had a long childhood/spent a long time growing up.It's got to be Tiswas, Space 1999, Champion the wonder horse, Flash Gordon for me.

Indeed not but I found a tribute. It is definitely not PC or SFW for that matter so be careful!Thomas the Tank Engine isn't what it was. All gone CGI and PC - no 'fat controller' now ! Oh and a new silly tune. The old one was great with all the models.
Space 1999 episode called Dragon's Domain scared the life out of me.
You can find it on YouTube.
Nobody has mentioned Logan's Run
I saw listings for that show last week, "The Case of the Chatty Mums". Short of much else to watch on the box I will be taking a look.Monster Court
