Why is it green?

Found my UFO Interceptor in a box in the garden shed! This was given to me as a gift whilst I was in hospital for a week following a tonsillectomy in 1974. The spring-launched missile got taken one night. Can't imagine why.

I'd been enjoying re-runs of Gerry Anderson's live action 1970 science fiction show prior to admission so receiving the toy model had been a real treat.

Still don't know why the manufacturer decided to colour the Interceptor green and orange when it wasn't like that in the show, but it was a cherished gift nonetheless.

Now where's my SHADO tank...

UPDATE: UFO is currently being shown on ForcesTV, along with a variety of other rarely re-run classic shows. (July '17)

The Enigma of Wiped: the lost British LOST

 

Wiped: a 6-part TV mystery drama which should have been on our screens in the autumn of 1999.

But all recordings of the show have, allegedly, disappeared, the producers deny that the project ever existed, and the cast and crew either have no recollection of their involvement in the production or refuse to acknowledge that they ever were.

Why? This is the enigma of Wiped.
