the first season was reminiscent of 2001 a space odyssey by stanly kubrick. the space clipper, discovery, landing pods, space station and moon bus all fit perfectly with moonbase alpha. the musical score was excellent, cast and crew exceptional, and the plot was at least tolerable.
I'm tickled that when I first saw Juliet Landau on Buffy: the Vampire Slayer, I immediately got turned onto her character. There was something about her that I couldn't quite put my finger on (her father and mother, of whom I was a fan). Then I saw the name and knew.
That set was magnificent, Hell it still is, I can't get enough of Space:1999, Main Mission is a place of light and thing of beauty, I adore that set! Barabara Bain is terrific, what an amazing lady.
@straker2 Yeah, I can't either. Just love all the cast and crews...Specially Martin Landau and Barbara Bain, Nick Tate, Barry Morse and ofcourse lovely Catherine Schell (Maya) and her boy friend Tony Anholt.
I always enjoyed Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's early productions but I thought the first season of this was better so I stopped watching their stuff after this. I wonder what happened to the Earth after the Moon flew away. Without the Moon's gravity assisting the Earth's seasonal ecosystem, Earth may start dying. Would like to see a final episode made when the Moon finally return to Earth, probably appearing from the opposite side of the universe after making a big loop.
Please, please upload the rest. I like it how actors and actresses actually respect the efforts of the production crew, in this case being the Camera and Lighting Department, and especially the Art & Design Department. Some actors never acknowledge these kind of things, because there just pathetic, egotistic arseholes.
i loved this seies and barbara bain's voice..ahhh just keep talking helena whilst i go into a dream lol and heyyy what was wrong with maya she was quite cool in her way added somthing diffrent to the show:)
It's so true. Compared to the second series, the first series's Main Mission (Command Center) so they called it, was absolutely astouding! It was a huge set and was something that way surpassed today's science fiction shows.
@biduge look for the space 1999 year 1 and year 2 documentaries in 5 parts from kidered productions available on youtube what you see above is a teaser enjoy it its got some fascinating back ground to this wonderful television series.

She reminds me of Hilary Clinton, well ok one has nothing to do with the other but still.
No remake, I like original series, the remakes always lack the original lack of technology, that's what makes an original become a classic.

Maybe a remake with her as the commander, or chief scientist (instead of the great Barry Morse, RIP)?
