Nothing shouts the most popular episode of Space: 1999 of either seasons as much as Mr. Bronson from Grange Hill being eaten by a glowing tentacle bumhole monster. This one has the lot - Earth-based flashbacks, foxy brunettes bringing cups of tea, backstory of why Bergman was grounded and a wonder take on the old myth of George and the Dragon. It's top of the pile for many very good reasons.

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!  You can email us on
