UFO S01 E08-E14 1080p BluRay x265-skorpion
PREMISE
In the year 1980, a secret military organization named "SHADO" (Supreme Headquarters Alien Defence Organisation) becomes operational. Its purpose is to defend the Earth from Aliens who've been kidnapping humans for body parts.
SHADO's main headquarters is hidden beneath a London film studio. It also has a base on the moon (Moonbase) and a fleet of submarines (Skydiver). Incoming UFO's are initially detected by an Earth orbiting satellite named "SID" (Space Intruder Detector). An initial interception attempt is made in space with three Interceptors launched from Moonbase. A second attempt is made in the Earth's atmosphere with a fighter plane (Sky One) launched from Skydiver. Landed UFO's are tracked down with ground Mobiles.
SHADO is run by the extremely dedicated Commander Ed Straker. His seconds in command are Col. Alec Freeman, Col. Paul Foster, and Col. Virginia Lake. Moonbase is often commanded by Lt. Gay Ellis.
EPISODE SYNOPSES
Episode 8: A QUESTION OF PRIORITIES:
Commander Straker's son is hit by a car, and Straker orders a SHADO transport jet to deliver desperately needed medication. However, the jet is diverted to investigate what might be a defecting Alien trying to contact SHADO. Will SHADO reach the defecting Alien before its own kind does, and will Straker's son die because the Alien takes priority?
Episode 9: ORDEAL:
Following a late night party, Col. Foster reports to the SHADO health farm. While in the sauna, Aliens attack the building, kidnap Foster, and adapt him to liquid breathing inside an Alien spacesuit. The UFO escapes the Earth's atmosphere, as Sky One's pilot is unable to shoot down his friend. How will Foster's nightmarish ordeal end?
Episode 10: THE RESPONSIBILITY SEAT:
SHADO may have a security leak due to an interview Straker gave to a female reporter. Leaving Freeman in charge, Straker tracks down the reporter, only to start becoming emotionally involved. Meanwhile, Freeman is having some troubles at SHADO, the latest being a Russian Moon vehicle on a collision course with Moonbase!
Episode 11: THE SQUARE TRIANGLE:
A woman and her lover conspire to kill her husband. However, instead of shooting the husband, the woman accidentally shoots an Alien entering the house. Col. Foster brings the couple back to SHADO HQ to erase their memory of the incident, but what else should SHADO do about the couple, who will obviously try to kill the husband again?
Episode 12: COURT MARTIAL:
Col. Foster is tried and sentenced to death after a security leak points to him as being a traitor. Straker and Freeman are not convinced however, and start their own investigation. They finally prove Foster's innocence, but it may be too late, as Foster has escaped and security has orders to shoot on sight!
Episode 13: CLOSE UP:
SHADO begins a project to follow a UFO back to its home planet and photograph the surface using a new telescopic camera. The probe is launched and readied, a UFO is successfully diverted back home, and after many months, SHADO finally receives photos of the Alien world. What does SHADO learn from these photos?
Episode 14: CONFETTI CHECK A-OK:
After a SHADO operative has a baby, Straker recalls his own marriage of ten years ago. His marriage starts out happily enough, but becomes strained as he spends all of his time away from home working on the creation of SHADO. How can he make his wife understand that he's being faithful without compromising SHADO's security?
What is the correct episode order?
Thanks to Marc Martin of ufoseries.com for the following:
Unfortunately, there does not seem to be a widely agreed-upon UFO viewing order, so I've listed several below. Unfortunately, some of these orders don't make any sense if you analyze how the characters and situations progress throughout the series -- especially in cases where there are flashbacks to episodes which haven't been shown yet!
The Gerry Anderson fan club FANDERSON researched the original production order, which with a slight modification has been the basis for some of the DVD releases. In my opinion a little more modification is needed to introduce Paul Foster's character better, so I've added my own personal recommendation.
Also note that the production order does not match the order in which the episodes were filmed when it comes to the episodes TIMELASH and MINDBENDER. That is, TIMELASH had an earlier production code, but was filmed after MINDBENDER.
Please do not tag or rehash this release as all that achieves is to dilute the file spread. Feel free to post this release elsewhere but please leave it as it is.
Thank you,
