Space 1999

[something daft already!!]

Anyone else used to watch this in the 70's? I've just started a rewatch of series 1 and it's a lot better than I thought it was. The effects are not bad for a show made in 1975. I seem to recall the 2nd series wasn't as good as the first but I'll see when I get there. Only on episode 2 and Lovejoy (Ian McShane) is in it. It's a bit cheesy but still a good watch and better as an adult watching it. I loved the Eagles and thought they were well done.

It's on ITVX.

Might be worth checking out UFO from 1970, I believe this is similar and started from the idea of a second series of UFO.

Ed Striker! I watched that on Late Night Late on TVS a quite few years ago. Enjoyed that too.

Watched it when it originally aired & rewatched it recently. Like you say, a bit cheesy now but good for the nostalgia value

Had an eagle as a toy & loved it!

I had two but the cockpit was green and one was blue. I painted mine white.

Did this with Battlestar Galactica even 30 years later too

I remember is BSG they use the same laser effect over and over, sometimes reversing it. Two shots would miss the Cylon ship and the third would hit.

The first episode of sapphire and steel was pretty bad but the one at the train station with the soldier ghost was very good.

There was a 2 parter where people from earth came on the station but they were really green nasty monsters with one eye and only Koenig could see them as they were. I never saw part 2 of it so I'm looking forward to that one when I get there.

Just watched one and it had Picards brother in it. He's always looked old lol.
