	: You're welcome! In researching this article I watched every episode on DVD. I don't have my reference materials with me but I think there are about 20 episodes. I would say about half involved some kind of ground (or lunar surface) combat. Combat is usually quite limited though, usually just a couple of scenes. Most of the show relies on tension - again, not unlike XCOM. [[User:Spike\|Spike]] 09:25, 3 April 2009 (EDT)		: You're welcome! In researching this article I watched every episode on DVD.

			== UFO on UK TV ==

			For anyone who has access to UK free digital TV broadcasts, or on-demand catch up TV, ITV4 have just started broadcasting the entire series again. It might even be possible to watch from other countries via the internet with whatever on-demand client ITV offers (if any). One show per week, repeated once.

	I'd also like to say thanks for this page - I only saw one episode, but it's definitely part of the X-COM source material! How many episodes were there, and how many involved ground combat? The episode I saw was all about a new mind control attempt, no gunplay. --[[User:JellyfishGreen\|JellyfishGreen]] 07:13, 3 April 2009 (EDT)		I'd also like to say thanks for this page - I only saw one episode, but it's definitely part of the X-COM source material!
