Damon Dark: U.F.O hunter. The official guide.

NEWS! NEWS! NEWS! NEWS!
 
Damon Dark comes to the stage in 2012.
"I was watching the live BBC Quatermass serials from the 50s, which went out like stage plays (and inspired Dr.Who and X-Files) and I had the idea I wanted to do something like it for stage. In the 90s, BBC radio did The Quatermass Memoirs with Quatermass recounting his past and then I was watching Day of the Triffids, where the hero recounts his experiences into a tape recorder while in hospital and it fell into place...I would do a stage play in which my UFO hunter character Damon Dark records his experiences about alien invasion plans and eerie encounters from other times as he waits for an Alien attack. I then remembered a suggestion from British film maker Brett Gerry that I could do a Damon Dark play in a similar style to Samuel Beckett's "Krapp's Last Tape." Before long I had the plan to bring Damon Dark, U.F.O hunter to the stage."

He later encountered Transdimensional Control, an alien security force who gave him time travel powers and revealed the nature of the alien menace to him: the Collective, the ghostly souls of dead planet Cygnus 12, spreading through the galaxy in search of new bodies to assimilate. 
Back on Earth, Damon teamed up with a number of friends, both human and alien, to combat various unEarthly menaces and enemies.
This is the shadowy world of Damon Dark.
 
ADRIAN SHERLOCK
Australian actor and writer.
 
Adrian Sherlock is an actor and writer from Geelong, Australia. When he was a young man, he wanted to create his own TV series which would take a psychological and emotional approach to science fiction and spooky tales.
 
His goal was to create the world's most exciting science fiction hero and give him to the world. When mainstream TV said no, Adrian turned to community TV, YouTube and other mediums to get Damon Dark out there into the world.
 
"I have found many great friends around the world and close to home who have helped bring this dream alive. Aspiring film makers around the world have become friends of mine and have contributed scripts and story ideas, songs, music, special effects sequences, even spinoff web shows to the ever-growing Damon Dark phenomenonm! It's been enormous fun and a great learning experience for everyone who has become involved. There are many spinoffs from Damon Dark on YouTube today, including Young Damon Dark, Vincent Kosmos, Nathan Dark and the Dr.Lansing Chronicles. I'm very proud of Damon Dark and its associated shows and I am very grateful to the wonderful people who have come into my life because of Damon Dark!"
(Adrian Sherlock.)
 
It has not been easy for Adrian Sherlock to bring Damon Dark alive or to keep him alive over the last 20 years. It has been very demanding and difficult to get Damon Dark out to the people. But Adrian Sherlock has always persisted and never let go of this dream.

The cult of UFO

Straker casts a long SHADO

 

There have been several attempts to revive UFO, most recently in 2003 when Carlton announced that a US company was planning on producing a new series, although as yet nothing new has been announced.

  However, Ed Bishop did make a return of sorts, to the character in 1996. He corresponded with Adrian Sherlock, an Australian filmmaker attempting to get his own project Damon Dark: Shadowfall off the ground. The story of a UFO hunter sent to track down an expert on the subject, it would have featured Bishop as an older, embittered Straker. While the film never materialised, Bishop did make an appearance as ‘Ed’, an embittered old UFO expert in an audio version of the story, which Sherlock has now uploaded to YouTube.

Damon Dark is the creation of Australian writer and actor Adrian Sherlock.

"I first got the idea for Damon Dark after seeing an episode of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's UFO series. I then realised UFO, The X-Files and Dr.Who all owed a lot of their inspiration to Nigel Kneale's Quatermass serials, so I took a great interest in them and the shows they had influenced. Finally, I came up with Damon, a man who has devoted his life to hunting alien menaces and defending the planet Earth, at all costs."

(Adrian Sherlock.)

"I think the name Adrian Sherlock will be held in the same conversations as Gene Roddenberry and Sydney Newman."
