Late ''UFO'' RIPs: Ed Bishop, Michael Billington, Harry Baird

Commander Straker, Col. Paul Foster (June), and *Lt. Mark Bradley (February), respectively.

*The **African-American Interceptor pilot.
**That’s ridiculous. He was actually a Guyanan Brit.

I did see these names in the “Death Pool” thread, but this is just in case anyone missed it.

Shame to hear about the passing of Ed Bishop a while ago.

As well as playing Commander Straker he did voice overs for Gerry Anderson including Captain Blue. And he was the shuttle captain we never hear talking over some Strauss in 2001 A Space Odyssey :wink:

I was going to post that it’s a shame that he really didn’t have a career after UFO. But then I looked at IMDB. He seemed to have kept somewhat busy. Still, he doesn’t seem to have garnered the attention his looks indicated he should have had.

I have UFO on DVD, and I’ve enjoyed watching it again. I was going to watch the series yet again after I finish my Thunderbirds nostalgia trip.
