Episode 17: War Games (Space: 1999)

It's a pod from a pod! The Manc and Mackem are on holiday, but that doesn't stop them recording a special episode of the pod(cast) from a pod(glamping) in sunny Scotland.

The most expensive episode of British TV ever made - even though it wasn't even the most expensive episode of Space: 1999. Colin's going with this one regardless of things like facts. Back to the episode it's a real two-parter. The first half sees Moonbase Alpha and half the cast blown up, the second half sees alien coneheads in boxes, shreiking Helena, John being the useless hero and it all being a wast of time. Still, the Hawk IX models were cool.


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!
