Re: Space 1999

I have the pilot on VHS where the nuclear waste area explodes shooting the moon into distant space causing havoc on Earth with massive tidal waves in the Earth's oceans

Re: Space 1999

Having just checked Wikipedia, it was actually Thursdays at 7pm in my region, or at least that's when it started being shown. It may have been moved to Wednesdays later on.

Re: Space 1999

I think this was shown mid-week, maybe Wednesdays, at 8pm in my ITV region. It was a must-watch for me at the time.

Re: Space 1999

Did anybody ever buy the Airfix model of the Eagle Transporter? Dragon's Domain, in my opinion, was the best episode of the entire series.

Re: Space 1999

I have bought a few of the DINKY Eagles and stripped them back to the metal and repainted them to represent more what the series showed - mostly white. They lookquite cool after a "refurb" - Only got one now as have given brother and freinds the others for presents

Re: Space 1999

The episode "Dragons Domain" was the one that scared me! Sheesh - crew members being forced into the thing and being pushed out as steaming skeletons - It made this, at the time 8 year old, poo his pants! ;-)

Re: Maya

Thing is it is only slagged off against modern shows, which you can`t really compare against, but for it`s time it was bloody good

I've sometimes heard it compared to the Dr Who made at the same time.

Re: Maya

Catherine Schell played the shape-shifter alien Maya in the second series. She changed into all sorts of terrestriel and extraterrestrial creatures.

I used to love S99 but when you see reveiws of it now it is largely slagged off. I used to have all the Dinky toy Eagle space craft.

Re: Space 1999

... the addition of the beautiful Catherine Schell as Maya was a good one.

This kind of parallels what they did with Star Trek: Voyager and Seven of Nine I suppose...

Re: Space 1999

I loved this series although the quality of the episodes dropped when producer Freddie Freiberger came onboard in the 2nd season and got rid of Barry Morse as Victor Bergman though the addition of the beautiful Catherine Schell as Maya was a good one. I wished I'd kept the toy Eagle I had. They go for a lot of money these days.

Re: Space 1999

That's how it should be really seeing their characters were an item sort of on the series
