Stam Fine looks at Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's first live-action TV show, the 1970 sci-fi
UFO, starring Ed Bishop, George Sewell, Wanda Ventham, Michael Billington, Delores Mantez and Garbielle Drake.
After years of making series starring puppets, Century 21 (formerly AP Films) had finally realised their ultimate goal- making a live action series, with real actors, and people moving of their own volition. Of course, puppets didn't have personal problems, egos, or agents, so there would need to be a readjustment of work practices by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson.
UFO is about a secret organisation called Shado, whose main job is to keep Earth safe from incursions by aliens in their UFOs.

Or, it's the show with the girls in purple wigs.
