Framed for it. Ignored after episode two. Could have made for a strong dark episode if Blake had met one of the kids (given that their implanted memories seem real to them).

Vaguely. There were plans for a belated second season, UFO 1999, but then US ratings tanked (apparently due to Confetti Check A-Ok) so it became Space 1999.
Actually, they did. Some of the Spiders were on wires, but there was also a totally motorised one.

IiRC the Michelin Men were genuine fire fighting outfits.
Coincidentally, this just dropped today.
Welcome to forty years of fandom debating the ending.

The idea then was do it three ways. So if viewers spot one they'll be puzzled by the others.
Not quite 40 (sorry, 42). Watching Games tonight.

When I was editing DWB the first and last episodes of B7 came top in a poll.
It is interesting how they stop mentioning it. You'd think if anything the Federation would play it up the more famous Blake and the others get.
I always had a reboot idea where Blake is again charged with child abuse but is so fucked up by all the brainwashing he's experienced that even he isn't sure whether it's true or not.
I'd never heard that, all I'd hear was that they were genuine Michelin Man suits modified a bit.
Controversial but I'm not sure either would sit in my top 5.
The Liberator set, contrary to it's name---would have been better as a Dalek command station.... Emperor Dalek on top.
Are the people talking about UFO reboots aware of the one that actually happened? https://www.bigfinish.com/ranges/v/ufo
Though it seems to have come to an end.
In an response to a reader's letter to Vortex a few months back it was mentioned that Big Finish had lost it's licence but no further details were given.
Then in this month's edition Nick Briggs responded say they didn't know if there would be any more UFO or Space:1999 for that matter.
Still, there's several hours of a new take on the concept.
I also wonder what significance can be attached to the following:
I also wonder what significance can be attached to the following:
- Big Finish has recently lost the UFO licence
- There's uncertainty about whether Big Finish can or will do more Space: 1999
- Powys Media recently lost its licence to publish Space: 1999 novels, after twenty years or so, and just as they were planning a collection reprinting short stories from the 1970s Space: 1999 annuals
- The Official Gerry Anderson store, over the last couple of years, has published UFO and Space: 1999 technical manuals, reprint volumes collecting UFO and Space: 1999 comic strips, and at least one work of Space: 1999 fiction (adaptations of early drafts and unfilmed episodes)
Anderson Entertainment has utilised/worked with Big Finish for production and distribution of quite a few Andreson related products so I'm not sure they would be see any benefit from pulling licences.
more likely it has something to do with ITC who I gather still owns the rights at the end of the day but what they would gain from pulling the plug I don't know.
