U.F.O. Episode Guide

Compiled by Andrew Pixley

[This is a complicated series to list since it had very poor local transmission runs with some episodes; at times the subject of restricted viewing and held back until the 10pm watershed. Some ITV regions did not even pick up the show for the Autumn 1970 season. The broadcast details adopted are for ATV, of which ITC was a subsidiary, but even here repeats are mixed with initial showings. From 27th February 1971, the show changes slot and begins again with Identified, Exposed (missing The Cat With Ten Lives) Conflict, A Question of Priorities etc, until on April 24th Ordeal is broadcast for the first time. Two episodes were held back until 1973. Repeats are not listed here.

The other problem is cast and credits since the season was a mixture of two shooting blocks. The first seventeen episodes shot at MGM Borehamwood Studios in 1969 star Ed Bishop, credited as Edward for the first two in production, George Sewell, Peter Gordeno (in the first six), Gabrielle Drake and Michael Billington (after the first few episodes). Credits also change. In early episodes, Keith Alexander is credited as Shado Radio Operator, but latterly as Lt. Ford.

The second block of nine episodes shot at Pinewood Studios in 1970 are marked with an asterisk * and star Ed Bishop, Michael Billington, Wanda Ventham and Dolores Mantez is now Moonbase Cmdr. The production credits differ slightly.

When a member of the cast is credited differently from normal, this is listed with the episode concerned.

Ed Bishop (Cmdr. Straker), George Sewell (Col. Freeman), Peter Gordeno (Capt. Carlin), Michael Billington (Col. Foster), Gabrielle Drake (Lt. Ellis), Grant Taylor (Gen.

Commander Ed Straker (Ed Bishop)

In 1970, Leila Carlin was left for dead after being attacked by gunfire in some woods. Soon, USAF Colonel Edward Straker arrived in Britain for a security meeting with General Henderson and a minister: their car was attacked by a UFO. By 1980, SHADO - Supreme Headquarters Alien Defence Organisation - has been set up with a base beneath Harlington-Straker film studios where Commander Straker poses as a film producer. His right-hand man, Colonel Alec Freeman, flies utronic tracking equipment designed by Virginia Lake back from Los Angeles in the Seagull X-Ray. A UFO evades the interceptors of SHADO's moonbase, run by Lt Ellis, and attacks Seagull X-Ray, only to be shot down by Captain Peter Carlin in Sky One: a submarine/rocket. Finally, SHADO capture an alien and learn the hideous secret of their mission to Earth.
