The Mackem and the Manc: Space: 1999 watch-through

Episode 10: Alpha Child (Space: 1999)


Listen Later

Well what does this episode not have? It has incest, a story line ripped off by Star Trek, a quasi-Omen young boy, a bad guy who nearly got the better of James Bond and Indiana Jones (to name but a few) and the most amazing silver shorts for our leading man. There's not only a collasal guest star™ in this episode, but our now regular foxy posh brunettes. We get a few spaceships, a twist ending, and Uncle Victor being utterly utterly lovely. Aww.


What happens when someone who's never seen classic 70s sci-fi watches it with their other half who's a total geek for it? Will they love it, hate it, or ask for a divorce on the spot? The Mackem (Katie) and the Manc (Colin) from England are watching all 48 episodes and, for you the wonderful listener, we hope there's some humor and fun comments. You can also listen and watch at the same time, or just enjoy the banter. Warning - there's a few rude words!
