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

Episode 27: The Exiles (Space: 1999)


Listen Later

A really fun, tight episode sees a couple of young whipper snappers with red spots and lycra circus outfits terrorise Moonbase Alpha with plans of revenge on their wise elders. Peter Duncan is in it, although with a terrible voice over. His ageing 100 years in a minute is well worth it though. Kids programme remember...


The rule book goes straight out of the window with the Health and Safety boys as they open nerf gun-looking craft without a care in the world. But the scariest thing is just how calm John is when faced with the prospect of a Helena-Maya threesome. He was far too calm about it all.


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
