Agreed. 1999 was definitely inferior to UFO in everything from writing to acting. The only decent things about 1999 were the Eagle spacecraft effects and most of the Moonbase set design.

Ed mentions Tom Baker. I worked with Tom for a couple of years in the early 2000s, running his website. It's true that whenever we were walking along in public, people would stop him every few yards to chat. Oddly enough, it phased me much more than it phased Tom!

Ed Bishop was always convincing as Commander Straker and deserved more credit for his portrayal in UFO. Notwithstanding his role in Diamonds for ever, he would have made a good Bond villain!

Favorite character will always be Ed Straker. So complex and multifaceted. You could see the side of him that you don't mess with... but they smartly threw in enough nuggets that you could feel sorrow and empathy for this guy... for crying out loud, he was in charge of defense against hostile alien incursions! If he fell, so might the planet. I really love the episode "Confetti Check: AOK" where they dive into how the setting up of SHADO broke down Straker's marriage. And BOY! Some of those shows ended on a dark note! Brilliant SF show that stands the test of time.

Straker definitely fave character. Starting out as an apparently cold, unsympathetic hardass, a few episodes and a bit of backstory later you just want to give him a big hug, and by the end of the series you're sorry you ever had a harsh thought for him. One of the best depictions of actual heroism - and its costs - ever in a mainstream show.

I am sorry to have to disagree with Mr Ed Bishop but the wigs were terrible. His explanation of the reason for him wearing a wig was welcomed & answered a question i had always had. But why did most of the main cast also have to wear such ridiculous wigs as the series progressed? The wigs didn't appear in early episodes.
