As a kid I absolutely loved UFO, it was the first thing I ever saw on a colour television. Wow, the purple wigs, the green liquid in the aliens helmets that obscured their faces, the silver jumpsuits and Peter Gordeno's string vest. The fact that logic took a backseat never worried me back then - like the curious idea of the moonbase interceptors only having one massive missile to fire, or why the girls had purple hair or, indeed, why Peter Gordeno was always wearing a string vest? The 70's were much simpler times when the likes of Ayshea Brough, Anouska Hempel and Gabrielle Drake's characters could be the love interests of the hugely unattractive male leads like Ed Bishop and George Sewell and you could believe that gull-wing doors were the future of automotive transport. I guess what I'm saying is that although I loved the series as a kid, I ain't about to get all precious about it and if they can pull a watchable movie out it, count me in. If they can't, well it wouldn't be the end of the world....just don't go near Marine Boy, y'hear!
