UFO was first broadcast in 1970 and told the disturbing story of aliens who undertake covert missions on Earth, kidnapping humans to harvest their internal organs. The Supreme Headquarters Alien Defence Organisation, led by Commander Ed Straker, is established to defend humanity. The Complete Book of Gerry Anderson's UFO is the third in a series of books examining the making of Gerry Anderson's classic television series, the other two being The Complete Book of Thunderbirds and The Complete Book of Captain Scarlet. Fully illustrated with many previously unseen stills, The Complete Book of Gerry Anderson's UFO features exclusive contributions from the program-makers and stars.

This review is from: The Complete Book of Gerry Anderson's Ufo (Paperback)
This book is a wonderful resource and a great addition to the books that Chris Bentley has already written about Gerry Anderson's various shows. It is chock full of rare photographs and information. There is also a great section about the marketing and merchandising of the show which contains a great deal of information that is not readily available. I do have two reservations about the book though.First, the contents of the book are purely in black and white, unlike Bentley's books about Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlett. At least I was hoping for a color section in the middle. Economics aside, a color TV show deserves some color photographs. Second, there is little concerning the effects of UFO, or the contributions of Derek Meddings and his crew of effects experts. The subject matter is covered and may well be all that the average fan of the show needs to know without getting too technical. On the plus side, there's a great deal of information about the actors of the show, plus information about the individual episodes themselves. All in all, a great resource and I hope that more books are forthcoming regarding other Anderson programs.

oh youth where art thou ?,
This review is from: The Complete Book of Gerry Anderson's UFO (Hardcover)
as a fan of the show since first watching it in 1973 I can say this book should be called "the incomplete book of Gerry Anderson's UFO" because it boggle's the mind that the incredible picture's in this publication is in black and white when the show is in color! I would have paid an extra couple of dollar's for that privlage come on guys get a clue!
