Encyclopedia: UFO (TV series)

UFO is a British television science fiction series created by Gerry Anderson & Sylvia Anderson and produced by the Anderson's and Lew Grade's Century 21 Productions for Grade's ITC Entertainment company. The Andersons had previously made a number of very successful marionette-based children's science fiction series including Stingray, Thunderbirds, and Captain Scarlet. He had also made one live-action science fiction movie, Doppelgänger, also known as Journey to the Far Side of the Sun, and now felt ready to move into live-action television and aim at a more adult market.

UFO was the Anderson's first totally live-action TV series. Experience with the one-hour format (Thunderbirds), good scripts, and exemplary production values led to an enjoyable good looking production. Despite the assumption of many TV stations the series was not aimed at children but deliberately sought an older audience with many episodes featuring adult themes such as adultery, divorce, and drug use.
