The Protectors
The Protectors is a British television series, an action thriller created by Gerry Anderson. It was Anderson's second TV series to exclusively use live actors as opposed to marionettes (following "UFO"), and his second to be firmly set in contemporary times (following "The Secret Service"). It was also the only Gerry Anderson-produced television series that was not of the fantasy or science fiction genres. It was produced by Lew Grade's ITC Entertainment production company. Despite not featuring marionettes or any real science fiction elements, "The Protectors" became one of Anderson's most popular productions, easily winning a renewal for a second season. A third season was in the planning stages when the show's major sponsor, Brut, ended its funding and thus forced the series' cancellation.
UFO (TV series)
Owing to the fragmented nature of the ITV network in the United Kingdom at the time, the 26 episodes of "UFO" were broadcast out of production order, and every broadcaster showed the episodes in a different order. The list below, drawn from Chris Bentley's "The Complete Book of Gerry Anderson's UFO", details the running order shown on ATV (in the Midlands) and on Thames Television in London.
