   Okay,
   I realize that this happened 7 1/2 years ago, but there were several UFO fans
that I met at the Stand By For Action! Fanderson Con in Allesley in May 2002 who
fell in love with the UFO Poster I had created for the outside of my binder. I
wanted to let those peeps know that it is now online at my new website. The
exact URL is:
   http://denisefelt.weebly.com/all-i-need-to-know-about-life.html
   The original was done with a black background, but I find that the white
background makes it easier to read. Feel free to print it for your binder, wall,
etc. And if you know any great quips that can be added to the ones already on
the poster, let me know! I sometimes think that ALL my big life lessons were
learned from watching UFO and other fun sci-fi!

Gito,
I don't know if I can think of you as a "friendly" alien, but to me your face
will always be the image that comes to mind whenever I hear the word "alien." 
Even after years of watching and rewatching the "Alien" quadrilogy.  Go figure. 
I guess what we learn as kids really does stay with us, doesn't it?

Guys,
Thank you so much for all the feedback!  I needed some background on Tony and

that Tony was script editor.  Was that throughout the run of the show?

Just wanted to send an FYI that a movie called 1000 either suspects or convicts
is on for anyone who has Comcast On Demand Free Movies-Impact Channel.
If its not him, I'll eat my hat. Movie is British made dating around the 60's.
Subject matter/material may be of ? to some so caution, if easily angered of
some issues (won't go into detail) but wanted to pass it on.

Harlan Ellison's book on the writing, rewriting and filming of this episode
is... revealing. Certainly puts everyone in a different light. What he forgets
to add in the book is that in writing a sequence like the one quoted below, he
clearly didn't 'get' Star Trek.'s brief He blames everyone else, but it's VERY
funny nevertheless.

   more important then having a bible, you need a Gene Roddenberry to oversee the
scripts.

UFO did have a series bible, of sorts.  I have never seen the original
documents, but I did see a "prettied up" version in old issues of
Fanderson's "FAB" magazine.  I had been waiting for those back issues to
become unavailable before asking permission if I could post it on my
website... although I think these issues are still available... (?)

Marc

P.S.
Another example of "centrally generated" stories on ITC-type series were those
born of desperation.
When a series was running behind schedule or was overrunning its budget then an
episode might be especially written either to be cheap and/or so that two
episodes could shoot at the same time.

Hallmarks of such episodes might include:
-heavy use of clips from other episodes
-a very limited cast
-very limited settings
-an episode concentration on a single character who wasn't the lead, or the only
lead character, so that another episode could be shooting at the same time
-an episode shot by the 2nd Unit Director of Photography, or an imported DP
(also so that the usual main unit could be shooting another episode).

Of course it doesn't mean that any single instance of the above indicates a
problem but certainly two or more is highly suggestive.

John

For one person to write all the episodes for such a series would be virtually
impossible - certainly to a decent standard and without being repetitive.
Such a series at the time would usually be commissioned on the basis of a
treatment, probably a single complete script and bare ideas for a few others.
Therefore as soon as the series was commissioned there would be a mad rush to
get scripts written as the series would immediately start to gear up for
production. Shooting would begin as soon as possible and there were tight
schedules. Scripts would sometimes only be finished with hours to spare before a
particular episode started shooting.

With the unavoidable exception in the case of UFO of MGM closing, nothing must
be allowed to hold up production. It's just too expensive. If the script was
poor but that was all that was available to shoot, it would be shot.
It would be insane in those circumstances for a producer to rely on a single
person to generate all the scripts even if it was possible.

The norm for ITC-type filmed series was for a "bible" - an outline of the
format, characters, settings etc of the series - to be produced by the
creator(s) and producer. This bible would be circulated among likely reliable
writers and agents. The writers would pitch story ideas and those accepted would
be commissioned.

As I've mentioned before, this accounts for the discrepancies between the
scripts of different writers as the plotlines were not being centrally generated
(although if a specific story was necessary - such as an introductory episode -
then it was usually written by the creator(s) or a writer particularly close to
the production).

I think it's more useful to think of the individual stories in ITC-type series
as being "variations on a theme", rather then trying to torture them into being
a completely consistent storyline.

Not entirely UFO, but Fanderson are holding a Gerry Anderson con in Bristol next
year in, I think, september. Bristol is within easy reach of N.england, only a
few hours down the M6/M5 !.Check out the fanderson website.
