Damon Dark arrived on YouTube as a webseries in 2006
and quickly established a cult following! Each week he continues his time-travelling, alien-hunting exploits on the internet,
where he thrills and entertains thousands of viewers from around the globe!
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.

WHO IS DAMON DARK?
The dedicated Alien-Hunter and defender
of planet Earth began as an ordinary young man, growing up in Australia. Damon Dark became absolutely
obsessed with finding UFOs and aliens, after a terrifying close encounter as a teenageer. No one believed
young Damon Dark when he said he'd seen an alien ship in the Australian wilderness, he was laughed at, ridiculed and bullied.
Angry and hurt, Damon made up his mind once and for all to find the aliens and get hard evidence and show everyone that he
was right. He was determined to prove he was not lying or crazy. In a moment of decision, his whole life changed and a hero
was born!
He joined the Secret Service and was appointed
to Department 6 as a special investigator. After preventing a number of Alien invasion plots, Damon vanished without
trace. His friend Gary Sutton, a former senior Dept. 6 agent, assumed a UFO had abducted him. Gary was a true friend
and never gave up hope. He knew Damon would come back.
Years later, Damon Dark
returned to Earth. He revealed that he'd been working as a Time-Agent in a Cosmic War against a ruthless group-mind
called The Cygnus Collective, disembodied intelligences who can possess and control other life-forms, including
humans!
Now Damon comes and goes from Earth, through
the time-space wormhole, and usually stays at the home of his close friend Gary.
An outcast and a loner, Damon Dark is also
a hero and a dedicated hunter of all things strange and alien. He cares for Earth and fights to protect it from alien menaces,
but he cannot seem to rest, always heading away again to roam the endless hallways of eternity...
