How long have you been waiting to post that? 🙂

End of a long line of fantastic series.

How long have you been waiting to post that?

Spur of the moment 😀 Date flashes up on daughter's blood sugar monitor.

would never have happened if Styker had been in charge 😀

Aren't you 4 days early? 🙂

9/9/99

In the opening episode, nuclear waste from Earth stored on the Moon's far side explodes in a catastrophic accident on 13 September 1999,

Nah, 13th.

Bet you a pint.

episode 1 in full enjoy - and yes it was 13/09/99

Your daughter's blood montior is linked in to Space 1999??? How do I get mine linked up? Actually, could I get linked up to Terrahawks??? Zelda appears when the blood is too high...

Bloody hell, if history has taught us anything, it's that we must never, ever allow those trousers to happen again.

Childhood hero.

He was cool.
He flew Eagles.
He wasn't American.
He was called Alan, like my dad.

If I ever sell something in the shop for £19.99 I can't help asking for space 1999 from the customer.

Wow, you went out with her at school TAFKAS? 😀

Yeah

Just watched that first episode - not bad for 1975!

Ahhhh, Colonel Wilma Deering. She caused me feelings I didn't entirely understand at the time...

I wanted to watch Space 1999 when I was a kid. I didn't, and I don't remember why. I'm not sure if I wasn't allowed or if it wasn't on TV in my area. Or maybe it was on, just past my bedtime!

Well, now I'll have to spend 52 minutes watching that first episode! And I've already looked for the DVDs online...

Oh yes, Col. Wilma Deering! I'd quite forgotten about her. She caused me feelings I [i]clearly[/i] understood at the time! 😉

Episode 1 wasn't bad (well, except for haircuts, clothes, furniture, music, etc.) and somehow I found episode 2 now...

Something that's always worried me about the Eagles.

Great design overall, but what about the pilot's visibility of the outside world? To me its always looked very restricted- direct forward vision is ok, but nothing out of the left-hand side (if you're in the left hand seat) or to the right-hand side (if you're in the right hand seat).

And also, with the big black bulkhead thing running down the middle of the cockpit to the nose, nothing to be seen the other way either.

This used to worry me on the way home from school rather a lot.

Bidibidibidi...

On topic,

Space:1999 passed me by, I'm sad to say. I'm aware of it and vaguely remember watching it as a very small child, but I was too young then to remember much now. I could probably recall a couple of names if pushed, and of course remember the iconic Eagle, but actual episodes, no chance.

Cf. Blake's 7, much to my chagrin.

Another of sir gerry andersons repetoire of space stuff.

Ps he isnt a sir yet as far as i know, but should be knighted.

loved space1999,had a eagle toy the magnetic winch model,cool hand guns too i remeber.and a cool theme tune.
but the theme tune to UFO still my faverite by far,not to mention the costumes,and purple wigs lol

First few episodes of 1999 were on at the same time as the Invisible Man on the Beeb, what a choice but I made the right one at the time. As for Wilma there was also Severlan in Blakes 7 causing similar feelings.

Lt. Gay Ellis in UFO awoke many feelings that I was yet to fully understand...

Aye, Coyote, times were simpler then. 😀

Kids TV in the 70s was so much more educational. 😯

Trampus i think that clip has it all.tinfoil and purple nylon,the crazy ufo sfx,and the dirtiest version of the theme tune ever.i can feel the static now 😯

😯 to that clip...

Space 1999 was good, but not as good as UFO. Those Moonbase girls...

just watched the UFO clip, and this was in the sidebar.
