How long have you been waiting to post that? 🙂

End of a long line of fantastic series.

would never have happened if Styker had been in charge 😀

Nah, 13th.

Bet you a pint.

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…

Childhood sweetheart

Yeah

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

😯 to that clip…

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