SERIES SYNOPSIS

   In the year 1980, a secret military organization named SHADO 
("Supreme Headquarters, Alien Defence Organisation") becomes 
operational.  It's purpose is to defend the Earth from a race of 
Aliens that have been kidnapping humans.
   SHADO's main headquarters is hidden beneath a London film studio.  
It also has a base on the moon ("Moonbase") and a fleet of submarines
("Skydiver").  Incoming UFO's are initially detected by a satellite 
named SID ("Space Intruder Detector").  An initial interception 
attempt is made in space with three "Interceptors" launched from 
Moonbase.  A second attempt is made in the Earth's atmosphere with a 
fighter plane ("Sky One") launched from Skydiver.  Landed UFO's are 
tracked down with ground "Mobiles".
   SHADO is run by the extremely dedicated Commander Ed Straker.  His 
seconds in command are Col. Alec Freeman, Col. Paul Foster, and Col. 
Virginia Lake.  Moonbase is usually commanded by Lt. Gay Ellis.


EPISODE SYNOPSES

"IDENTIFIED"  Ten years after the first confirmed UFO incident, SHADO 
is about to become fully operational.  A UFO attacks an SST flight 
delivering vital SHADO tracking equipment, but it is shot down by Sky 
One.  An Alien is captured and brought back to SHADO HQ, but what 
secrets does it reveal?
 
"EXPOSED"  During a UFO interception by Sky One, an experimental test 
plane is shot down.  The test pilot is convinced he saw a UFO, but 
when he tries to prove it, he is discredited and harassed.  His 
persistence leads him to SHADO's commander, but will he be killed for 
knowing too much?

"FLIGHT PATH"  SHADO operative Paul Roper is being blackmailed by the 
Aliens for flight path data which will allow them to attack Moonbase
undetected.  After being discovered, Roper volunteers to go out on 
the lunar surface and defend Moonbase.  But what are his chances, 
armed only with a handheld rocket launcher?

"CONFLICT"  A SHADO lunar module is mysteriously destroyed during 
Earth reentry, and a second reentry attempt by Col. Foster nearly 
fails.  Straker thinks the cause might be an Alien device hidden in 
some space junk, and sends in the Interceptors.  However, while the 
Earth is left undefended, a UFO is sighted and its target is SHADO
headquarters!   

"SURVIVAL"  An Alien bullet blows out a window on Moonbase, and an 
operative is killed.  A UFO is discovered in a nearby crater, and a 
battle leaves Col. Foster missing and presumed dead.  However, Foster 
is still alive, as is an Alien.  After initial mistrust, the two join 
together to try and survive the walk back to Moonbase.  But will 
they?

"THE DALOTEK AFFAIR"  A series of unexplained communication blackouts 
on Moonbase eventually destroys a lunar module during a landing 
attempt.  Col. Foster believes the interference is coming from the 
nearby Dalotek base.  However, after removing the suspected source, 
another blackout occurs -- just as a UFO is coming in for an attack! 

"COMPUTER AFFAIR"  After a UFO collides with an Interceptor, computer 
tests indicate that Lt. Ellis' judgment was affected by an emotional 
attachment with one of the Interceptor pilots.  Col. Freeman doesn't 
buy this, and makes them both part of his team to battle the landed 
UFO in the Mobiles.  However, will Lt. Ellis' judgment be affected 
again? 

"A QUESTION OF PRIORITIES"   Commander Straker's son is hit by a car, 
and Straker orders a SHADO transport jet to deliver desperately 
needed medication.  However, the jet is diverted to investigate what 
might be an Alien trying to contact SHADO.  Will SHADO reach the 
Alien before it's own kind does, and will Straker's son die because 
the Alien takes priority?

"ORDEAL"  Following a late night party, Col. Foster reports to the 
SHADO health farm.  While in the sauna, Aliens attack the building, 
kidnap Foster, and adapt him to liquid breathing inside an Alien 
space suit.  The UFO escapes the Earth's atmosphere, as Sky One's 
pilot knows Foster is inside.  How will Foster's nightmarish ordeal 
end? 

"THE RESPONSIBILITY SEAT"  SHADO may have a security leak due to an 
interview Straker gave to a female reporter.  Leaving Freeman in 
charge, Straker tracks down the reporter, only to start becoming 
emotionally involved with her.  Meanwhile, Freeman is having some 
troubles at SHADO, the latest being a Russian Moon crawler on a 
collision course with Moonbase!

"THE SQUARE TRIANGLE"  A woman and her lover conspire to kill her 
husband.  However, instead of shooting the husband, the woman shoots 
an Alien entering the house.  Foster brings the couple back to SHADO 
to erase their memory of the incident, but what should they do about 
the two, who will obviously try to kill the husband again if let 
free?

"COURT MARTIAL"  Col. Foster is tried and sentenced to death, after a 
security leak points to him as being a traitor.  Straker and Freeman 
are not convinced however, and start their own investigation.  They 
finally prove Foster's innocence, but it may be too late, as Foster 
has escaped and security has orders to shoot on sight!

"CLOSE UP"  SHADO begins a project to follow a UFO back to its home 
world and photograph the surface using an amazing new telescopic 
camera.  The probe is launched and readied, a UFO is successfully 
diverted back home, and after many months, SHADO finally receives 
photos of the Alien planet.  What does SHADO learn from these photos?

"CONFETTI CHECK A-OK"  After a SHADO operative has a baby, Straker 
recalls his own marriage of ten years ago.  His marriage starts out 
happily enough, but becomes strained as he spends all of his time 
away from home working on the creation of SHADO.  How can he make his 
wife understand that he's being faithful without compromising SHADO's 
security?

"E.S.P."  A UFO crash lands into a house, killing the woman inside.  
The woman's husband has amazing powers of E.S.P., and sends Straker a 
detailed document full of secret information about SHADO.  Straker 
and Freeman meet with him, but they discover that he's been taken 
over by the Aliens and plans to kill them!

"KILL STRAKER!"  After a UFO encounter during a lunar module reentry, 
Foster becomes unusually hostile towards Straker.  Both he and the 
lunar module co-pilot try to kill Straker, with the co-pilot dying in 
his attempt.  Foster's medical exam reveals that an Alien-implanted 
urge to "Kill Straker" may reappear at any moment.  Will Foster have 
to be killed?

"SUB-SMASH"  A UFO destroys a ship in the Atlantic, so Straker and 
Foster go to investigate in Skydiver.  The UFO attack the sub, 
leaving it heavily damaged and stranded on an undersea ledge.  A 
rescue plane is on the way, but the escape hatches are all blocked or 
damaged and the air is running out.  Will Straker and the crew make 
it out alive?

"THE SOUND OF SILENCE"  Foster investigates the disappearance of a 
show jumper at a horse ranch near a suspected UFO landing site.  He 
thinks that the UFO is hiding at the bottom of a lake which has 
silenced the local wildlife, and sends in the Mobiles.  The UFO is 
destroyed, but an object remains intact -- is it a bomb that will 
detonate when taken back to SHADO HQ?

"THE CAT WITH TEN LIVES"  While driving home, Interceptor pilot James 
Regan and his wife stop for a cat in the road and are abducted by the 
Aliens.  Regan is left behind, and is now being controlled by an 
Alien mind in the cat.  In his Interceptor, Regan is controlled to 
let a UFO escape and later, to put his vehicle on a collision course 
with Moonbase!

"DESTRUCTION"  Straker investigates a UFO incident with a naval ship.  
He discovers that the ship is planning to dump a highly toxic nerve 
gas into a deep trench in the Atlantic.  However, the Aliens are 
being fed information about the ship's schedule, and if they succeed 
in destroying the ship, all life on Earth will be destroyed!

"THE MAN WHO CAME BACK"  SID is knocked out in an Alien attack, and 
the most qualified person for a repair mission, Craig Collins, has 
been acting strangely since a UFO incident.  Collins injures the co-
pilot at the last minute, forcing Straker to replace him.  However, 
once in space, Straker realizes that the Aliens have programmed 
Collins to kill him!  

"REFLECTIONS IN THE WATER"  Skydiver's crew discovers an underwater 
Alien dome in the Atlantic.  Straker and Foster get inside the dome 
and find an exact duplication of SHADO HQ and it's personnel.  
Straker realizes it's a plan to fool the other SHADO bases into 
letting through a massive UFO attack, but does he have enough time to 
stop it?

"MINDBENDER"  Two SHADO operatives go on killing sprees when they 
start hallucinating, the first seeing cowboys on Moonbase, and the 
second seeing Aliens in SHADO HQ.  Since both operatives had to be 
killed, Straker is mystified about what's happening.  But then 
Straker starts hallucinating -- and he's now an actor in a TV series 
about SHADO!

"TIMELASH"  Following a UFO attack on Straker's car, Straker and Col. 
Lake arrive at SHADO HQ only to find everything frozen in time.  They 
discover a traitorous SHADO operative, who reveals that he helped the 
Aliens create the time-freeze, and taunts the two while bouncing 
around in time.  Can Straker find a way to restore time and stop the 
Aliens from taking over?

"THE PSYCHOBOMBS"  Straker receives an ultimatum for SHADO's 
surrender, and three people who have been transformed by the Aliens 
into human bombs carry out the ultimatum's threats. First, a SHADO 
tracking station is destroyed, and then a Skydiver. The third person 
is found and brought to SHADO HQ -- which she has been programmed to 
destroy!

"THE LONG SLEEP"  A young woman awakens from a coma and tells Straker 
that a decade ago while on LSD, she stole a piece of an Alien bomb in 
a farmhouse.  Her companion, previously thought to be dead, appears 
and forces her to reveal the location of the missing piece.  Now 
Straker and Foster must find the farmhouse and deactivate the bomb, 
or all of London will be destroyed!
