Part of the appeal of UFO was the music by Barry Gray. Great stuff. The opening montage always grabbed me.

And the Moonbase uniforms were very eyecatching to say the least. And some of the plots were almost as mindwarping as The Prisoner.

OTOH why did the alien craft always approach the Earth from the side where the Moon is ?

"why did the alien craft always approach the Earth from the side where the Moon is"

Presumably because they'd read the script? :-)

Skydiver was usually in the right place too. Or, _a_ Skydiver.

I recently watched the whole season of UFO, wanting so badly to like it because of its music and set design, but episodes were soooooo dull. The plot premises seemed promising, but the development was poor.

Not your cup of alien tea eh. Considering all the sci-fi available out there, maybe nowadays the target audience would be high schoolers..

There was a homoerotic element in the fishnet stuff I always thought. And HR would have a fit if you asked women to wear that stuff now, err, I mean in 1999.

Agreed on all points. Yes it was dynamite on the ladies.
