@3SERIES SYNOPSIS
@1
   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.


@3EPISODE SYNOPSES
@1
"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!
