We are back to normal after Christmas Yorkshire TV and Meet the Parents Specials with a fun episode, full of strange accents and bad science.  Earth from the future finds Moonbase Alpha and promises to neutrino teleport them home.  Will it happen?  What could possibly go wrong?  And why does Freddie Jones have a rubbish American accent?  Post-pod we do a fun little quiz working through all the badges worn on the uniforms of Year 2.  Whilst LSRO was easy, we had no chance with VJC.  

So in this episode we had Isla Blair wearing Mozart's wig, the stupidity of building a science station on an exploding earthquake fault zones, Scottish dark age natives speaking perfect English, and Space 1999 predicting both the Apple Watch and how useless a device it really is.  Freddie Jones takes a snack pill that definitely isn't drugs, Helena both catches and cures Pneumonia in the space of about 4 hours, Alan correctly identifies a big standy-up green thing as a tree and Yasko has loads of lines.

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.
