Anyone remember the Brit show UFO? pronounced youfoe - I loved that show, but only got a few eps late night on a local station in Arizona before it disappeared again. Very odd thing, girls on the moon, all with purple hair, and a Prisoner sort of main office in London, with a white-haired youngish man as our hero who drove a car with doors that went up instead of out to open.

Yes, I remember that show! The aliens breathed liquid, and once one of our heros got grabbed by them and shoved into one of their life support apparatuses, and they had to rescue him.

I want to write fanfic for THAT show. I want to own that show. It was so much fun! The one alien that landed ran around in suits like ours (maybe they were 'murricans?).
Hmm, a crossover of that and the Avengers would be interesting...ooh.. .and throw in the Prisoner! A triple cross.

Then there's "Space: 1999" where the moon--I think--gets knocked out of orbit.
Brit shows are fun.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Deena, I'm now giggling helplessly. Emma, Steed, Number Six and the man-eating beachballs, and an alien?

Never saw the Prisoner, don't remember the Avengers that well, I've only got intermittent brain flashes of UFO. No help on details, I'm afraid.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Following on from a discussion in Angel - and no, it's not spoilery, don't anyone get excited, it just reminded me that I was wondering this this morning -
Is there any decent Connor-Lindsey fic out there? Preferably with a plot.

I know the Prisoner. Haven't watched a lot of it but one of my exes was big time into it.

Never saw UFO, but loved Prisoner and am an Emma Peel junkie.

An alien in a N.A.S.A. moonwalking suit, with, IIRC, green skin, but otherwise totally human looking. I'm glad I made you giggle, Deb.
I tried to find eps of UFO on Kazaa. Lordy, there are some serious conspiricists out there. I think I ran into some fredlet files.
edited to add, found this on a geocities site:
"Why are John Drake and Emma Peel apparently celibate when they would make such a good couple? Why does John Steed have no romantic interest in Emma Peel? Why did "The Prisoner" come on after "Secret Agent"? Why did Emma Peel join The Avengers while Danger Man was on? Why did Emma Peel leave the Avengers after Number Six left the village? Enquiring minds want to know!"
and one more addition, moonbase from UFO:
