PROJECT FORD and UFOria 3: ALIENS ATTACK (part 1)

The UFO 55th Anniversary Celebration and Location Tour

31st October to 2nd November 2025

Join fellow Anderson fans for a convention and filming location tour celebrating the work of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson.

Our special guests for this event are Keith Alexander (in person!) the voice of John Tracy, Sam Loover and Lieutenant Keith Ford in UFO, plus puppet supervisor Mary Turner. We will also be celebrating Joe 90. 

 

Attendees will receive an event programme, a souvenir badge and a goodie bag, plus a buffet for Sunday lunch. Throughout the weekend there will be a display of puppets and models and also a stall selling memorabilia from all of Gerry and Sylvia’s shows (cash only). 

  • The event starts on Friday evening at 6.30pm celebrating ‘Thunderbirds at 60’ with the last of the Tracy brothers, featuring Keith Alexander and Mary Turner.
  • On Saturday there will be a full day coach tour of filming locations used in UFO in the Pinewood area. Then in the evening at 7pm its ‘UFOria 3: Aliens Attack part 1’, an evening with Commander Ford and fellow SHADO operatives.
  • On Sunday from 10am it’s a full day at Moor Hall continuing our 55th anniversary celebration of UFO with a rare special film presentation by Keith Alexander and a Q&A afterwards. There will also be a fun quiz and an auction for a small piece of UFO memorabilia! This will be followed by interviews with our special guests (more guests to be announced). On the Sunday evening, from 7.30pm, there will be a special appearance of the voice of Topo Gigio – the last performance!
