What a great reminder of this old-school cinema trick. The use of the mirror reveal. So Retrolicious!!

Gabrielle Drake was GORGEOUS-- and actually at 71 is STILL an extremely good looking classy lady!!!

Anyone else ever noticed that in Sci-fi the 'futuristic' clothes always look very representative of the era in which the shows were made?

I remember watching this scene as a child. I seem to love this scene for some reason. Now I know why.

UFO was ahead of its time for women sported purple hair, pretty much like they do nowadays! I used to love this show, especially the cars. That's when I first saw a 1967 Oldsmobile Toronado popping it's headlights up and my jaw dropped because it looked like a spaceship on wheels! What a beauty! Love the metallic outfits! Thanks for sharing!

When i was a kid, I always wondered how so many of those UFOs got through. Now I know.

[con.troller]

Just preceding this scene she was commanding a situation where multiple UFOs were approaching Earth and an all out attack was imminent.

Glad she had time for a little soft burlesque before Earth was annihilated.

Although he is sitting behind the wall waiting, there is a big mirror on the wall!

This is the first TV show that blew my mind, when I was a kid.

[philrichards]

UFO was a much better series than 1999 was.

[wralford]

I so looked forward to the future growing up when this show was made!

[armanddefrank]

One of my favorite scenes 😍 I said many times I'd be volunteering for Moonbase duty all the time as long as LT. Ellis wason duty💞💖

[BarbecueinItUpGood]

As much as I liked those purple-haired Moonbase babes' outfits BEFORE I saw this, I like 'em even BETTER now! 😉

[Tarkus]

As a 14 year old teenager watching this it led to many an eventful afternoon with a box of scotties

I LOVED UFO! I used to watch it on Channel 20 in Washington, D.C., which was a UHF channel. The dates and times when the show was on kept changing, but I think most of the time it was on about 10 o'clock at night.
I still have a crush on Gabrielle Drake

[MirlitronOne]

I'll settle for a DVD of this scene repeated over and over again, please.

[grathlingillingham]

Gabrielle Drake, still remembered after all this time. For the rest, the future has turned out to be rather a disappointment

[keithallver]

Interesting that this show was made in 1970 but was set in 1980 and here we are in 2022 and we still don't have a Moon Base or Space Interceptors.

If I get a humanoid robot patterned after her, I'll never leave my home on the weekends. ❤

They can engineer a space ship but they cannot make doors the correct size for people.
