Hi Griff, Yes, that's what I always thought. In the context of the show, the dubbed sound was intended to make the cars sound like they had unconventional...
Hi all, Here is an article on the Fanderson news page about the UFO movie -- there's nothing new here except the statement that Gerry Anderson has seen the...
And then there is this that was e-mailed to me (not sure of the original site it came from) - KP Exclusive: Gerry Anderson on the UFO movie Martin Anderson The...
... Thanks! Here is the website: http://www.denofgeek.com/movies/262437/exclusive_gerry_anderson_on_the_ufo_movie.html There are also (at the bottom of the...
Thanks, Ken (and Marc for finding the site :) That's the best news I've heard about this by miles - let's hope Gerry *is* asked to be a consultant, as we may...
... Hmmm, I wonder how much Gerry Anderson was really involved with the "original spirit" of UFO? I mean, a lot of things that people like about UFO were due...
Good point, Marc. Maybe I should re-phrase and simply say that having Gerry as consultant would not do this project any harm, and even better if the original...
Hi All :) Recently I was travelling in Italy on business, when the strangest thing happened early one morning... ...There was I innocently eating my breakfast,...
Hi Marc, Yes, it's the background music heard when Commander Straker and Jo Frazer are sitting at a table at a local (to Harlington-Straker Film Studios/SHADO...
Hi Marc, I suppose the next question is: What is the music from to 31:44 to 32.53 as heard in Straker's dining room? It is in a different style to the piece in...
... Yes, I don't know what either of those 2 pieces of music are. Sometimes Barry Gray did record "radio" music in a different style than we are used to, but...
Hi Marc, Thanks. Yes, it was a surreal experience hearing that music piped around the restaurant and hotel reception area, especially as it was in a dining...
Hi all, Well, the rumor from a few months ago that Network video (UK) was going to release THE PRISONER on Blu-Ray appears to have been false. But now I see...
Marc, I have both previous sets on DVD already. I do have a PS3 (Blu-ray player) and a hi def TV. I am not even replacing my Laserdisc collection to DVD, I...
... Well, if you have a really big screen, then the Blu-rays should look better than the DVDs. However, it seems likely that a Blu-ray UFO release will be in ...
On Sun, 07 Jun 2009 19:40:31 -0700 ... I think UFO could look spectacular on BluRay provided the original source is still in good enough condition for that...

You see, that's it. When it was filmed, was it done in a hi def format? I have heard bad things about old movies being upgraded to hi def, and coming out...
On Mon, 8 Jun 2009 07:39:52 -0400 ... Yes! It was filmed on photographic film (8mm?), not videotape - so although it was intended for TV, the format is in...

It was shot on 35mm film which is a far higher resolution than modern HD formats. However, being a TV production from 1969-70 it was shot and composed for...
More likely 35mm - transferred to 16mm for broadcast From: SHADO@yahoogroups.com [mailto:SHADO@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of James Gibbon Sent: 08 June 2009...
Definately a bad thing; Casablanca is pillar boxed on DVD so it has black bars on either side of the image when viewed on a 16x9 monitor. This is butchery,...
What I meant to say here was that creating 16x9 images that fill the widescreen TV at the expense of cropping the top and bottom off is bad; the way Casablanca...
... Well, one could say that the color on the UFO DVDs is completely different than the original broadcasts (speculation on my part -- I don't have a...
UFO, like most of the Gerry Anderson and other ITC shows of the 1960s (and the non-ITC Avengers) was shot on 35mm film (the same format as most feature films,...
John, what you say makes sense, but what about the FX?? Going to use two examples. In the orginal Star Trek series, when they showed the shuttlecraft flying...
... I was not bothered by the strings on the HDTV versions of UFO, but then again, I don't have a 6+ foot screen! The filmmakers did go out of their way to...
Bruce Sherman ... That's part of a much bigger question about the limits on restoration and beyond. There's a continuum. At one end is the repairing, digitally...
Hi All, I am so very very sad to hear that Bob Bell has passed away. Bob Bell's inspirational and daring (for the time) use of vivid colour (he was very...
