It's very exciting for us in Mackem and the Manc land as we have a Meet the Parents special! Not only did we record this episode with Katie's parents (who also don't really have much of a clue about the world of Space: 1999 and they were there at the time) we also recorded it actually in Sunderland, home of the Mackems. If anything, it's notable for Terry (dad of Katie) coming up with the alternate title for the episode: Tony of the Dead.

So if you've enjoyed the show because it's someone experiencing this show for the first, you are going to love 2 people watching it for the first time with someone who's seen a few episodes with someone who is a Space: 1999 geek. Got it so far? Well done you.

So whilst Terry and Sue try to catch up on WTF nature of the show, we settle down and watch the four main heroes plus a very strangely cast Patrick Mower (or Rodney from Emmerdale as Sue calls him) be annoying as KFC as an Irish Cowboy Geologist. When he's normally cast as a suave English gent type. We have a rock that's alive, changes colour to indicate if it is going to kill you or not, a very very angry Koenig and Helena not being able to duck.

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!
