    • Trivia
      Special effects supervisor Brian Johnson was asked to helm the special effects for Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977), but his involvement with this series took priority. While helming the special effects for Alien (1979), Johnson was asked to take charge of the effects for Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980), so he left the effects duties for Alien (1979) with his assistant on the project, Nick Allder, who had also been his main special effects assistant on this show, then moved on to work with the effects crew on "Empire". Johnson and Allder ended up sharing an Oscar for Special Effects for Alien (1979), then Johnson shared a Special Achievement Award for Special Visual Effects on Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980). Johnson would later go on to helm the post-production visual effects on Aliens (1986), in which he would end up sharing a BAFTA Film Award.

      In the pilot episode, the massive explosion on the moon is on the far side, yet the moon is thrown out of earth's orbit. it would be more reasonable to assume that an explosion on the far side would have driven the moon into the earth.
    • Quotes

      Prof. Victor Bergman: [last message before evacuating Alpha] We are Mankind. We came from planet Earth, and we built this base, called Alpha, to learn more about space. But human error blasted this Moon out of the Earth's orbit. And so, we have traveled the Universe searching for a place to live. Now, we can no longer live here, and we go to face an uncertain future on the planet that has nearly destroyed us. You, whoever you are, who find this empty vessel of Alpha, come and seek us out, if we still exist. Come and teach us all you know. Because, we have learned many things, but most of all, we have learned we still have much to learn.

    • Crazy credits
      During the first season, excerpts for each week's episode were incorporated into the opening credits, more specifically the "This Episode" section, which was something of a Gerry Anderson trademark.
    • Alternate versions
      A number of syndicated and video-released TV movies were created by editing together assorted episodes. These are: Alien Attack (1976), _Destination Moonbase Alpha (1976) (TV)_,Journey Through the Black Sun (1982) and Cosmic Princess (1982).

    Memories..............
    When I think of Space 1999 I think of South Side Elem School, Schwinn Sting-Ray 5 Speed Bikes, My dad's Navy Blue 1974 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme & my parents big 25in cabniet model Zenith TV. When this show was on the air it was the hottest thing to hit TV since the original Star Trek. I remember all the toys, the big plastic EAGLES and the walkie talkie communicators and battery powered laser guns. Catherine Schell as MAYA still holds the Sexiest Alien girl ever Trophy in my opinion. I was very sad to learn from this site that Tony Anholt passed away of a brain tumor in July 2002. To this day I am at a loss as to why this series had such a short life. I suspect production costs in the UK sank it. To any of the former cast & crew who may read this, Martin, Barbara, Nick, Catherine, & so many others thanks so much for the memories and for an outstanding job. I own all the DVDs now and show it to friend's kids every now and then and they LOVE IT !
