I think I was about 13 or so when I saw it, and yeah, she haunted my adolescent dreams! 😎

There were several things about it though that were ahead of its time though. The aliens being in oxygenated liquid to increase their G tolerance for one. The harvesting of human organs for transplants for another. And they were fairly dark at times, the one where an alien sniper shot out the window of the moon station causing people to be spaced. I did love the purple hair.

Interestingly enough, the TV show The Expanse (originally a SyFy channels show) had a Belter (a person born and raised in microgravity in the asteroid belt) being tortured by being subjected to full 1 G Earth gravity, finally the UN powers that be stopped it and they kept him in a tank full of water with a breathing mask. The movie Event Horizon had the crew get into liquid filled capsules before a high G boost. So, UFO was ahead of its time.

loved the car phones and the moonbase silver miniskirts

I think that the Wedthred was successful when there was more than a critical mass of participants ( with the necessary sense of humour!) The numbers dropped.... and for me, once jandyt (Andy) started taking more interest in checking his dustbin for dog poop bags dropped by passing dog walkers than posting on the Wedthred, the writing was on the wall.

Ahhh,  the Wedthred - some of the funniest conversations I've had happened on Wednesdays! I remember with fondness the pipe organ constructed entirely from Giraffes complete with a dancing giant Halibut!😂

Ah yes Wednesday, everyone's favourite forum post 👍

Yeah I need to be a bit more onto it, I blame moving between hemispheres and the ongoing unpacking and plugging back in of B&O kit. All done now though so hey

To quote the Gadfather: "Slowly we inch toward the abyss of infinite darkness." Just realized this is my first post in almost 15 months.

I've never seen it sadly. I'll have to look and see if I can find it under the Space Patrol title over here.

I did get into a much later show which was a joint German/Canadian production, "Lexx." Low budget but wildly creative and completely bent.
