The Complete UFO Megaset (1970) (DVD)

Starring: Ed Bishop, George Sewell Director: Cyril Frankel, David Lane

In the year 1980 the Earth is threatened by an alien race who kidnap and kill humans and use them for body parts. A highly secret military organization is set up in the hope of defending the Earth from this alien threat. This organization is named SHADO (Supreme Headquarters Alien Defense Organization) and operates from a secret location beneath a film studio. They also operate a fleet of submarines and have a base on the moon as well as an early warning satellite that detects inbound UFOs. UFOs can be destroyed in space by Interceptors which are launched from Moonbase. If one gets through it can be attacked in the Earth's atmosphere by a high altitude aircraft launched from one of the submarines. If a UFO also avoids this and manages to land it can be tracked and destroyed by a number of Mobiles (armored vehicles) which are deployed throughout the world.

Much more adult in story and content than earlier Anderson productions, and surprisingly dark with its pragmatic view of human nature and downbeat endings, the show now seems like a forerunner of The X-Files and the equally short-lived Dark Skies (1996). Barry Gray's memorable theme and atmospheric music greatly enhanced the overall impact. Stylishly made, though terribly sexist by current standards and featuring eye-catching costumes more fitted for a campy dress party than the front line of a futuristic war, this cult classic eventually evolved into Space 1999 (1975).

S.H.A.D.O.'s fight to save the world continues with the final 13 episodes of UFO, the first live-action series from legendary producer Gerry Anderson (Thunderbirds, Space: 1999). In the year 1980, mysterious aliens are kidnapping humans and harvesting their organs, apparently in an attempt to extend their own lives. Earth is defended by S.H.A.D.O. (Supreme Headquarters Alien Defence Organization), led by Commander Ed Straker. Whether scrambling high-tech interceptors from their base on the moon or patrolling the oceans--a favorite alien hiding place--in their Skydiver submarines, S.H.A.D.O.'s agents must perform their vital task in absolute secrecy. A rarely seen science-fiction classic from one of the most innovative minds in television history, UFO features a strong cast, gripping story lines, and extraordinary special effects from David Meddings (The Spy Who Loved Me, Batman). Approx. 11 hours.
