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

Episode 20: Space Brain (Space: 1999)


Listen Later

So we are now into Episode 20 and it's a foam party! Before it became all the rage, the population of Moonbase Alpha are gearing up for a night of disco lights and foam party goodness. Somewhere along the lines there is a serious plot about macro space beings and the moon being a virus, but it all goes to shit in the last 10 minutes when Her Majesty's Fire and Rescue dump 16 million kilos of soap into Stage L at Pinewood.


This is also an Italian episode, where Katie decides "Rent-a-Yank" Shane is punching above his weight snagging the Italian hottie Carla. There is a rock weighing 380 tonnes (slightly less than John's ego), silly string, Helena treating patients in a welding mask and Alan in charge of a raft of nuclear charges. What could possibly go wrong?


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!
