I met Peter Gordeno (AKA Captain Carlin) when he was doing cabaret on the QE2 in the late 80s. He told me how much fun it was to work on UFO and what a hard task master Gerry Anderson was. UFO was far too complicated for American audiences and they never understood it, although we did. The third series never happened and turned into Space 1999. The first episode "Breakaway" was the best, but both still attract a huge following. I hope the new UFO movie gets made. I'm not holding my breath.

Happy 2013 to all here.
