Of all the women who appear in UFO, none seem to have quite the same ‘lure’ as Gay Ellis. There is a ‘china doll’ prettiness about her that is both appealing and, dare I say it, virginal. Perhaps it is that scene in Identified, (Oh go on – you know EXACTLY which scene I am referring to!) that puts her firmly into the ‘drool’ factor for guys. Even ‘Joanna’ in…
UFO fans may be unaware of the fact that there are numerous alternate UFO universes. In some of these universes (universi?) you might find Ed Straker having sex with a dragon and getting a tattoo, or discovering that he has magical abilities or even, perish the thought, falling in love with a member of his own organisation. Following strenuous searches, and a considerable amount of bribery, over the past months…
It was bloody annoying really. Starting to cry. Especially when she was driving to work. On the motorway as well. But there was the comfort of it being an early morning in January so it was dark. No one could see her feeble attempts to stem the tears that trailed down the side of her nose. Bugger. Her handkerchief was in her trouser pocket. No chance to get at…

Chapter 4 Rebecca had woken late for once, and had lain there, wondering what to do with the day that stretched out ahead of her, aimless and barren. No Christmas shopping to do; she’d done most of it online and anyway there were not that many people to buy for. Not now.

3 ‘Colonel Freeman.’ ‘Nina. Any news?’ ‘Still searching Colonel. It’s only been two hours and we haven’t covered all the sectors yet. There’s a lot of space out there.’ Nina leaned closer to look into the monitor. ‘Give us time Alec. Right now everything I have available is out there looking. But with that satellite out of operation we’re left with a blind spot that can’t be scanned by sensors….

Alec waved Sara inside. ‘Okay,’ he looked at her, ‘ready for this? Sara lifted an eyebrow. ‘As ready as I’ll ever be I suppose. What do I have to do now?…
Miss Baxter put the phone down in blank and distressed silence before she walked through to the living room and looked at the pile of exercise books on her desk.
