Gerry Anderson - UFO TV Series - Gabrielle Drake
I was a teen with a mad crush on Gabrielle Drake. So gorgeous and she stood out on a show with beautiful ladies. UFO was a cool programme.
Search google images for naked photos of her, she IS gorgeous... ignore the fakes.
@@MrKiwi1960 Will do, cheers Kiwi.
Ah, yes. There she is. A reminder of when I was a much younger man with the whole world ahead of me. She is the unforgettable, incomparable, Lt. Gaye Ellis. No other superlatives needed.
God, but she was GORGEOUS!!
Oh so very - but to be pedantic, Georgina Moon in Skydiver, wearing that sexy string-mesh top, showed more of her breast and nipple outline than those Moonbase suits ever allowed the gorgeous Gabrielle to reveal...…..something of a wardrobe let-down there - and just a little too much thickness in those Moonbase costumes for our comfort...……..
Hi, if you want to see more of Gabrielle then ‘au pair girls 1972’ film is essential. Plenty of short abridged versions but full film is available if you persist. Worth the effort
Gabrielle Drake as Liutenant Ellis was a real babe! I remember when I was a little child and saw her at 4.20 and told myself for the first time...omg, girls are a very beautiful thing! lol...
Garbrielle Drake, one of my favourite pin ups of the 70's. Stunning. UFO wasn't too shabby either...
sister of Nick Drake
I've never seen a 'Pin-Up', of the lady. But she could be the reason the expression "SMOKIN HOT!" was invented!
Garbrielle was in a few things in the 70's. She also appeared for a while in a popular uk soap show called Crossroads. I saw her being interviewed a few years back, still looking good in her 60's.
Gabrielle drake
Recently,through a genealogy hunt,discovered I'm closely related to this gorgeous woman.
I was 7 when UFO came out, having grown up on Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet. And I had the most massive crush on Gay Ellis, and I have maintained it to this day,
You are not the only one.
Gabrielle Drake and Linda Hamilton. Monster crush on both as a kid.
I have now watched the entire series after discovering your brilliant re-edits. It certainly was ambitious and the quality of the cast was excellent, but Gabrielle Drake stole every scene she was in. Gorgeous and a decent actress too. I never saw this show being re-shown in all the years I lived in the UK, but saw only Gerry Anderson's puppet shows. To be fair, there were some pretty odd episodes in that only one season, so I see why it maybe got cancelled, but its a real pity we did'nt get more of this. I don't feel Space 1999 comes anywhere near the swinging vides of UFO. And also.... that theme music!!.. .. Dun Dun Dun ... Dun ... Dunna Dun!!! Bloody Excellent!! I can just imagine Lt. Ellis dancing to that tune 🥰
Used to watch this every week and then the next day we would play it all again in the playground
I still do
i guess I am a pathetic old man , but i had almost forgotten how babealicious she was...lol
I was in the 7th grade when this show came out and watched (her) it when it came on. Needless to say this show gave me a rise.
Had the pleasure of meeting Gabrielle Drake in the mid-1980s. She was sweet and absolutely charming.
That quality shines brightest through her performances on UFO. I would love to know how much direction she took to find her character for this show. To me she represents a very beautiful professional team leader who probably has about 50 IQ points on most of the men she deals with. I always find something like that very sexy indeed. Best regards sir
Lucky you
...she was THE LADY there, without doubts...
Had a big crush on LT. Ellis. And, I always liked the music when they're getting ready to attack or engage.
I loved UFO as a kid - still do - despite my age! The team behind this show put a set of strong characters up and the screen - both men and women and didn't grandstand about the latter (they could show Star Trek Discovery a thing or 2 about "inclusion"). The moon base would be a dull place without those girls in purple wigs - they ran the place and earned that by being good at their jobs. They remind me a bit of WAAFs in WW2 Tracking Luftwaffe raids - with the addition of being in charge of fighter direction. Gerry must have had those WW2 servicewomen in mind.
UFO already accomplished what all the current shows claim they are doing for the first time - and UFO did it better and smarter 50 years ago - I laugh at modern sci fi when it does not make me weep in disappointment - it is junk
You're never too old for Sci fi.
In a cast that boasted the cream of Britain's young female actors, Gabrielle Drake (and Ayshea Brough) were incredible
Don’t forget Wanda Ventham 😍
Misses Drake and Ventham were fine actresses, but let's not forget that it was Ed Bishop who dominated the show with his hard-hitting, compelling characterization of Ed Straker!
Concuerdo : Gabrielle Drake y Wanda Ventham y la otra teniente que recibe las llamadas de alerta roja ,son las más bellas entre las bellas mujeres de U.F.O.
Gerry Anderson shows had some of the best female characters:
Marina (Stingray)
Lady Penelope (Thunderbirds)
The Spectrum Angels (Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons)
Lt. Ellis (UFO)
Overall, I love the Gerry Anderson shows, live action, stop motion, and puppets. My personal favorites are:
Thunderbirds (My favorite vehicles are Thunderbird 3 and Fab 1)
Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons (Very dark, but still fun to watch)
UFO (Mainly for Straker, Ellis, and the vehicles)
Dick Spanner (A stop motion series about a robot detective? Yes, please.)
Great video! Have a nice day, and remember: Spectrum Is Green.
The only thing that made me miss Dr Who back in the day
Brilliant sci-fi series in the seventies great outfits and hair does good models of the interceptors
This has got to be THE BEST Sci fi show of my entire life! Own the entire DVD collection, books, the works! UFO 4EVER baby!
Best nostalgia rush ever......
Wow! Awesome! I've been looking for all the episodes free. Thanks so much!!!
I loved U.F.O. so much when it was broadcasted on the National italian TV Channel in 1971.
It looked so psychedelic and futuristic at the same time.
I was only 7 yo and I was hooked!!
And she was so pretty!!
All of those women were beautiful
She was fantastic. Wish she was on my team..
Hell those women from this show had all us guys choppin wood before sleep. What a great series as well, It could be a great new Series reinvented with today's tech what do you think.
Would love to see that happen but I am terrified of what could go wrong. Hollywood has already ruined Star Trek and Star Wars
Women in the late 60s and 70s were hot.
that s becuse women back then did nt have a dick between be thierleg.. or at least attach ha,ha,
Women were much more feminine back then. It is a shame what our society has become now because of radical feminism.
Yeah!
Ziauddin Khan Because they looked good, they knew it, and they weren't ashamed of it.
@@Dragonblaster1 They enjoyed being women instead of being bitter over it.
it seems hard to believe that when this was made, in the 70s, they actually thought we would have a moon base by 1980!
Nixon de-funded the Apollo program in the early 70s. If USA had continued Apollo-Saturn for say another 10 years, a moon base by 1980 would have happened. Shuttle system was technically flawed and way over budget for 30 years. If the Shuttle program had never happened USA would probably have an advanced moon base by 1990 and Mars landings possible in 2000. Sorry Shuttle fans - biggest mistake in the history of manned space flight.
I believe they missed a lot..1980s computers were not that big. And so of the cars were definitely different. But I love the show.
It's a secret moon base, that's why you don't hear about it
@@FandersonUfo Actually, shuttle was supposed to fly about once a month. The economies of scale would have made it cost less per pound to orbit; more like a commercial airliner in performance-per-dollar. They were under pressure to scale it up quickly, and that's a lot of why Challenger happened. Then they went *over-the-top* on safety, and buggered up the schedule. It caused problems in other places, too: Galileo's main antenna never opened (it had spent too long in storage, waiting for a ride.) It also caused the Air Force to work on having its own shuttle ("Blue Shuttle," it was called in development,) which drew from finite resources.
The biggest mistake in manned space flight was either Congress killing the last Apollo flights, or NASA's choice of VentureStar (which squandered $330M ona vehicle that never flew) over the RLV. Lots of people at NASA were scratching their heads at that, but hey, it LOOKS sexier, and it uses a state-of-the-art aerospike! But it never flew. Thanks, Lockheed.
Maybe it was the choice to kill shuttle before we had a working alternative. (We paid the Russians HOW MUCH?!)
I suppose that's what one should expect from a organisation run my crazy monkeys.
@@usmc-veteran73-77 SURE they were that big, and they were bigger later. It depends on what you're having them do. Disney, for example, had the world's biggest IBM AS/400 F95 at Burbank in the early 90s, and it had more cabinets than we ever see on UFO. Have you seen the server farms at Dreamworks, Google, or Amazon? Have you looked at photos of the latest in supercomputers? Even the decade-old Jaguar (Cray XT-5 www.ornl.gov/news/oak-ridge-jaguar-supercomputer-worlds-fastest) at Oak Ridge had more cabinets.
Sure, your little desktop or notebook can do more than SID, but you are NOT at the top of the supercomputing food chain.
MY FAVORITE-- I was struck on her SOOOOO Bad when I was young.. She's STILL a gorgeous lady even at 78 now!!!! (aging VERY gracefully!!!). I wish I could have found a girl like her back when I was young., but that ship has not only sailed-- it SANK!! ha.
I remember watching:Ufo as a fourth grader in;1971.All I remember was:a camera 📷 lifting up the screen,because,it was on a ship,and it photographed the Ufo 🛸,or,the planet 🌎 I believe it was?It took me year”s to see the whole show!Because,I(finally)got the show via:the A and E network.I watch it every once in awhile,now.Cheer”s for Valentines 💘 Day!
I watch it at my childhood in the 70s, every Episode was so very special for me. Now its great to watch the UFO 🛸 series again, i am so thankful. I had one of the intercepters Model in small size from Matchbox i think made of any Metal, i remember it was possible to shoot with the missile of it, its a pity i lost it. I like alot the amazing future Design of this 70s UFO episodes, the car of Commander Striker, their uniforms, their tecnology, the skydiver for example, great. The hair style of the female personell at moonbase are fascinating.
Thankyou so much for uploading. 🛸 🌕🚀

"A lot", Michael 😎
Enjoyed the movie. Thanks.
Being from Canada I don’t remember seeing this before but I’m hooked now. I would have eaten this up back when it originally aired.
Watching the UFO opening sequence makes me type 50% faster and i think 25% more accurately.
Pity it didn't help you type accurately without typos........lol
1:04:29 "You're doing a fine job, Gay, a man's job. But you don't have to do it any better, because you're a woman. And don't ever forget, you're a very attractive girl" looooool 🤣🤣🤣 feminists today would be outraged !!
and so they should be.

Genial ! . una serie extraordinaria , entretenida, inolvidable, la música increíble todo para mi era perfecto. gracias.

So impending combat action compels Lt. Ellis to don a shinny miniskirt?
Sure it's a flimsy excuse but more importantly it's a flimsy skirt.
And we thank her for her service...
No matter what a girl should always be prepared.....lol......(might be a fry up after...lol)...
chardtomp Why not?
chardtomp Oh, the things Lt. Ellis does for SHADO.
This show from the '70s predicted that by 1980 people in England would be driving on the right side of the road and that wigs would be a very important part of women's fashion. Those distinctive wigs worn by those on Moonbase were intended to prevent the buildup of static electricity.
My guess is that the left-hand-drive cars were a number of concept-vehicles shipped from the USA, & along with the slightly posh accents, the series was being pitched very hard to be aired on American TV!
The irony of those purple wigs is that it's impossible to wear wigs in space, & would be next to impossible to keep them on in the moon's very low gravity!
@@stevie-ray2020 Wigs were the new ‘80s fashion and I don’t imagine any problem keeping them on in 1/6th gravity on the Moon.
@@lorensims4846 Maybe so, but I wonder how many times those women almost knocked their wigs off going through those low doorways?
This series is incredible.
The co-pilot is being played by the awesome Shane Rimmer.
Abonné depuis longtemps et très contant de l'avoir fait car tes vidéos sont toujours très claire et explicites. Merci pour tout.

What I'd give to be on moon base with Gabrielle Drake.
She's the top!!!
Preciosa mujer .Encantadora.👀👌💐🍃💐🍃💐🍃
Una niña hermosa e inteligente es un regalo de Dios.
@@FandersonUfo Ecco le cua😃🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿
I always imagine she has the highest tested IQ of all SHADO personnel. Straker knows she is smarter than him. Gabrielle Drake is beautiful and a fine actress. I like her work and her look on this show. It's very special.
Straker is so like Zapp Branigan from Futurama
Gabrielle Drake so hot with purple hair.
I think she wore it best, too.
I was like ‘how dare you question lt Ellis like that - she’s the best of the best & you know it’
the #1 lt ellis, space was so interesting then, wonder why, c; ok, moonbase, what the holy batflap is a neutronic stabiliser. as if i cared, good work fanderson
Ohhh my ... these times has our world been in right working order. The female costumes are sooo hot !
I love Gabrielle Drake!
Obviously blue uniforms and shiny white belts and boots are the perfect futuristic camouflage in the bush!
Maybe the blue uniform is the SHADO equivqlent of Star Fleet red shirt?
Syn3rgY Maybe their high-end computers figured out that the aliens had difficulty seeing them in those colours...??
Syn3rgY You leave my honey Mark alone!
Set far in the future - 1980
Odd that UFOs always seem to pass by the moon on their way to the earth; since thats the first line of defense, youd think theyd come in from the other side, or not even in the ecliptic at all. Of course since they only had 3 space torpedoes, and those had the marksmanship skills of a Stormtrooper, maybe it wasnt worth worrying about.
They spent a lot of money on wigs and the moon base set - they sort of had to use it every week - that's how TV was made then
To be fair, one source I found years ago stated that the blast yield of each missile/torpedo was in the 100Mt range ...
Putting that in perspective, the largest nuclear weapon detonated was the (in)famous Tsar Bomba. Was designed to be 100Mt, using a fission-fusion-fission reaction chain, but the weapons scientists got a bit nervous, so replaced the last fission stage with the equivalent mass in lead. Even so, the best estimate is that the blast yield equivalent was 50-57Mt, easily twice the size of the largest American test of Bikini Bravo, which 'ran away' producing in excess of 25Mt, and creating a huge radioactive mess of the Pacific ...
So, going back, you don't really need decent aim, when 300Mt is going up within, say, 5 miles of each other ... even with atomic density being a magnitude, or so, less, than the upper stratosphere, such a massive detonation still ought to have a significant impact.
Trouble is, given how tough the UFOs were in space, and speed they were travelling at, you had to be damn lucky to score a direct hit ...
@@nigelft As we used to say, "Close only counts in Horseshoes, Hand Grenades and Atom Bombs"...
Love these modern computers on the UFO show!
My one gripe about the show.... communicating between Moon-Earth and SID, done by voice... with a code to verify it.... and Moon to Interceptors by voice... coordinates were read out and input by hand... computers can talk to computers in their own language, MUCH faster and without error.... that is my one gripe.... OH.... sand UFO's could hide in clouds... apparently, it never dawned on anyone that radar can be used to find a hiding UFO in clouds...
I love how she moves away real Suttle. As if he had bad breath...40:12 🤣

Never heard of this movie , but the girls with the purple hair were ahead of the times.
I Wonder if Her "Carpet" matches her "Drapes" !!! Lol Say No More Squire !!! Lol
They all had Carpets back then !!! : P
I'd vacuum that carpet all day long
This was back when aliens were welcome whether legal or not. If they all looked like Lt. Ellis, there could never be enough of them!
Very cute gal...
SUPER !

Hey,. Thanks for your kind words
I have a friend with CF who is under a lot of stress right now as well - be careful until the rest of us are vaxxed
@@FandersonUfo I totally agree
🛸👽💚
Many familiar faces from 2001, and later seen in 1999.
One line in the episode "Computer Affair" makes me laugh more than anything else in the series. UFO is set in 1980 right? Why then does Mark Bradley read the year on his bottle of wine as 1984? 😂
I think he said "19-0-4"
@@dickseevens8099 Would a wine that old still be good? Whisky gets better with THAT much aging, but wines I think tend to turn to the Dark Side after a few decades.

The year of the Drake.
"between drools"???? She is 76 years old now.... OMG!
She was 26 then - in addition a large segment of my audience is in their 70's now.
@@FandersonUfo It was worse for me, I started puberty watching her... I'll be 60 soon. :(
@@MrKiwi1960 - already 60 - I'm a 1959 - it's desperately boring to deal with that birthday I must say
My fist ever crush at 9 years old!
Quite a storyline for an actress in 1970. Talented and beautiful lady.
William H. Baird well you could have done a great deal worse.😸 You chose just fine.
Was it ever explained why when they went to the moon their hair became purple? Not complaining just wondering if we have that to look forward to with all our females. If so can we hurry up and get the moon base built
Gerry Andersons wife was a budding fashion designer and theorized that in the future wigs would be a part of uniforms in the same way caps are now. Sadly she was wrong but that is why they hd wigs. No idea why purple though
Mr. Pomfrett thank you. I spend most of my time answering questions about the wigs. I think there was a Japanese film which did purple wigs on the moon several years before UFO not sure if there is any connection.
Thanks. for the info.... So can I get assigned to SHADO and stationed on the moon?
It is possible i would think. Though not sure. There seemed to be a lot of crossover between Japan SF and Anderson Sf
The wigs were supposed to be anti static to prevent accidental sparks which might cause explosions in the oxygen rich space modules
This show helped get me through a very rough puberty!

Wow... Memory lane indeed, I wonder how many of us old boomers got a rise out of that scene 3:28. I remember seeing it back when it was first broadcast...
No PC agenda in sight , yes we'd have all just stood there and watched Lt Ellis get her kit off the same way as that pilot did and not blinked an eye..🧐.. because it was natural, beautiful and complimentary...
Can you imagine the modern WOKE, inclusive and SJW idiots making such fine programs now days ?
They'd have us watch a remake where Straker and Alec share a flat over a flower shop and Lt Ellis was applying for gender reassignment. 🥴
The world turned into crap by our own hand, we didn't need the Aliens to do it for us. 👽
You would think the aliens would wait for the moon base to go below the horizon or use the earth to hide behind.
My guess is that the left-hand-drive cars were a number of concept-vehicles shipped from the USA, & along with the slightly posh accents, the series was being pitched very hard to be aired on American TV!
The irony of those purple wigs is that it's impossible to wear wigs in space, & would be next to impossible to keep them on in the moon's very low gravity!
actually the idea was that UK would switch to left hand drive before 1980 - never really happened obviously
From your comment, you appear to be completely oblivious to the various methods by which wigs can be attached firmly to the wearer's head - they don't just sit there you ignorant clown.
Do you think that Straker had the hots for Lt. Ellis?
Straker was impressed by Lt Ellis' professionalism and intelligence. She is a very able and capable SHADO officer. If Ellis were male no one would question Straker's suggestion that she make a point of meeting him again on Earth. It would almost be sexist of Straker to not compliment her in that way in front of the other staff when he leaves moon base. In any organization the commander should develop close working relationships with their key people for the organization to function well. The fact that the woman is also "a very attractive girl" is not what motivates Straker in my view.
@@FandersonUfo
Personally, I would make her a Captain ... she was too smart to just stay as a Lt. ...
... but that is just me ...
I know 70% of the male population of the UK did.

Never knew Ellis and Bradley were intimate
It was so funny to see the infamous Arthur Daley (George Cole) in a fishnet top.
23:25 Is that Yoda sleeping against a rock in the foreground?
1:12:30 She's got her game face on. Less makeup too. Rather good in this shot.
the relationship with the aliens got fairly hostile aspects,it lacks a bit of love and empathy
it's too bad it wasn't done in widescreen. This still look amazing.
it does look like 4:3 full frame 35mm original negatives. Lots to crop to get to 16:9
@@FandersonUfo I don't want it cropped. I was saying it would be cool if it was filmed in a wide format.
@@TygerBlueEyes - I totally get what you mean - it is just a fact that this original footage is pretty much locked in to SD 4by3 ratio - I would love to see a new version filmed by 8k red cameras - not holding my breath though
@@FandersonUfo I would love to see a remake. But, we the track record of the latest remake I don't have high hope for a great remake.
@@TygerBlueEyes - Almost impossible to do in 2019 now - the style of the show is fantastic, cat suits, wigs and dodgy looking models look so good together - Hollywood would ruin it with post modern realism and political correctness - I would allow the Japanese a shot on a remake before Hollywood - they understand the show
What a babe she was ❤❤❤😊
In all the times I've watched this series, I could never figure out the Violet colored hair the women wear.
before Apollo 11 landed there were mistaken ideas such as excess static electricity on the moon - the purple anti-static wigs would keep women's longer hair from frizzing out and under control was the idea - 🛸

I always found these purple wigs and salacious skin-tight female uniforms exceptionally distracting and unavoidable. At times I wasn't sure if I was watching a (good enough) scifi show or some futuristic night club on the moon (or in a submarine with those hot fishnet get-ups).
