Strap yourselves in Big Boys for the ride of your life. Yes, it's Bonus Pod time and Sybil Danning shows you a whole new meaning to The Big Bang Theory.

Having done all 24 episodes of Year 1 of Space: 1999, we discover there is enough in the can to do a bonus pod. Split into three, we first of all enjoy Sybil Danning and her wonderful introductions to the Space: 1999 movies as part of the Adventure Video series.

Moving on to the movies themselves, we chop up Alien Attack and Journey Through The Black Sun and lick our lips at the extra scenes including Patrick Allen's amazing turtle neck and the wonderful sounds of Disco Dynamite.

We then go all 90's and create our own Friends-style "The One With..." titles for each episode, so if you meet a casual fan and they can't remember what was what, you can help them remember the one with Mr. Bronson, or the one with the parrots.

Finally, we have a chat about the whole point of the podcast, to discuss Katie's feelings on the show, how it has changed her view (or not) on a classic sci-fi programme, and how it stands up in 2024.

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
