Here's the intro http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMEZuaguuCU

it used to be on UTV on a Saturday morning. Made by the same guy that done thunderbirds, Stingray etc and his wife

And here is how it finished http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UJu0_NSt8Y&mode=related&search=

Wishbone Ash

Yes, I used to watch it and used to think that the year 1999 seemed so exotic and so far away.

Remember Blake's Seven? - I could never get into it at all.

Best music ever. The only other thing I remember from when I was a kid was the spaceships and that the guns looked like nail brushes?

edit: better quality clip

I'm just after watching a few episodes.
Fantastic show!

They did well with what they had back then.

I remember Space 1999 well, although I only watched it occasionally. I always remember the uniforms with the different colour sleeves denoting rank or job and the Eagle spacecraft they had.

Wishbone, I loved Blakes 7, I was glued to it every week. The Liberator was a cool ship, even if the cheap special effects made it wobble a bit as it flew through space.

Flukey

I thought they would do a load of re-runs of it in 1999, but it didn't happen.

Space 1999, "They Lied" as far as Im concerned... We should sue the producers... .)

Classic stuff, last time i watched it was on satellite dubbed into Hungarian, rather "Zen" still watching it.Blakes7 v cool also.

I saw it on RTE1 on Friday afternoon 5-6 pm in or around 1979/80 and various repeats since. twas Gerry Andersons second series with humans, after UFO which set-up the moonbase premise. Blakes 7 ws far cheaper than Space 1999 (and it showed!) but the standard of writing snd characterisation was far superiour. I'd like to see that from the start again.

Capt'n Midnight

It was repeated on ITV3 a good while back

I loved Space 1999.

I remember when it started first. I was really upset because it replaced The Six Million Dollar Man (who was my hero at the time).

But that was soon forgotten when I decided I wanted to live on a space station instead of being bionic

Loved Blakes7 too.
