BONG! Wrong I'm afraid. According to my references, UFO was shot 
between 1973 and 1975, actually at the studio that portrayed the 
SHADO base (now there's an economy for you...). Space 1999 
began as a plotline for the third series of UFO which they never 
made, and the plot was developed later into a whole separate show.

Century 21 fashions was actually a cover name for Sylvia 
Anderson's clothes designs. Just shows you, nepotism is not always a 
good thing.
