It's the last episode of Season One, and it ends and a gentle meander through well trodden Sci-Fi territory.  All the good and not so good shows have a "life on Earth began out there" panspermia episode and Space: 1999 is no exception.  But the Mackem and the Manc not being your average podcast, we go one stage further and discuss the MUF - the thing that does (or doesn't) tie all the Season One episodes together.  Is there an over-arching entity looking after the inhabitants of Moonbase Alpha, or was it just coincidence?  Listen to the pod to find out.

It's also our last Italian episode, there's pub beer garden skeletons, a leaf, lots of silver jackets and the job prospects discussed for the protein store security guards.

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
