Anecdotes
In the UK, people drive on the left side of the road and steering wheels are on the right side of the vehicle. However, in UFO's version of 1980s Britain, both of these have been reversed. The show's creators were simply going along with what was being predicted at the time, which was that the UK would switch its driving system sometime in the near future. That change never happened. Just as the U.S. was predicted to have switched to the metric system, which also didn't happen.

Gaffes
Although set (and filmed) in the United Kingdom, all the futuristic cars are left-hand drive, and everyone drives on the right-hand side of the road. Several other series by the Andersons featured the same driving system, presumably because the UK was predicted to switch over sometime before the future events depicted. Flashback scenes showed the "normal" British driving arrangement.

Alec Freeman: I don't like this. This cloud gives about as much cover as a G-string on a belly dancer!

Crédits fous
During the opening theme, the show's title "UFO" is flashed on the screen for only a fraction of a second. It appears "officially" on screen at the end of the teaser sequence.

Versions alternatives
Many episodes had censorship cuts for the Italian edition, for example Foster drunken in Ordeal (1970) or Straker's relationship with Jo Fraser in The Responsibility Seat (1971) and Freeman's many flirts and jokes about women.

Ambitious sci-fi series

I watched this show as a child in Canada, and I remember it fondly. It was very ambitious in its reach - the anti-alien organization had at its disposal a moon base, space craft, special land mobiles and a submarine that could also launch a manned aircraft! This involved lots of models and special effects, and was very exciting at the time. I also enjoyed the personal life conflicts of the characters in the series; the show was not just an endless series of explosions and chases, it tried for a more serious, complex approach. It's funny now to look at the odd clothes worn and bizarre hairdos (including purple wigs as part of the uniform of the female personnel on the moon base!) but the show was meant to be taking place 10 years in the future, so it is possible that the unusual costuming was meant to add an exotic, futuristic atmosphere.
