5.0 out of 5 stars More than 3 UFOs and we're toast..., 26 Mar 2007
By J. M. Pemberton "quatermax" (Cyprus) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The year is 1980 - Unbeknownst to the general public, Earth is being visited by aliens from another world, abducting humans for organ transplants. Our only protection is SHADO - Supreme Headquarters Alien Defence Organisation - secretly housed beneath a film studio and headed by the intransigent and dedicated Commander Ed Straker. With a base on the moon, interceptor space ships, early warning satellites, a fleet of nuclear powered submarines and all-terrain land vehicles, Straker and his team maintain an ever-present vigil against the aliens...
As for the SHADO organisation, well, to be honest, there was indeed a base on the moon, but after that they only actually had three interceptors (with one missile each), one satellite, one submarine - but wait, it did have a fighter jet which launched from the nose - and three all-terrain vehicles. Luckily for us, the aliens never sent more than three UFOs at a time. And they almost always landed in the south of England - actually just down the road from SHADO HQ, which was nice.
Another endearing aspect of the series is how, in 1970, they imagined the world of 1980 would look: All cars would be low and sleek, electrically powered with gull-wing doors; men would all wear pastel streamlined suits with Nehru collars, and women (all compulsorily attractive) would wear mini skirts and knee-length go-go boots - and purple wigs if they were on the moon (note the `Century 21 Fashions by Sylvia Anderson' credit for that one). The technology, as mentioned earlier, is amusingly archaic, as are all the social attitudes, music, and party scenes etc., which, as in STAR TREK TOS before it, are firmly entrenched in the sixties.
One word of warning, the episode running order is different in the US than in the UK, so make sure you get both sets in the same format, or you'll end up with some episodes missing and some repeated.
