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

Episode 38: Seed of Destruction (Space: 1999)


Listen Later

It's the bad parting episode! 50 minutes of plot unravelled by John having his parting on the wrong side. How they strung this one out for nearly an hour who knows? Still at least you have us to entertain you.

We bookend today's episode with a what-what-what description of an AI revival of Space: 1999 and how Maya could have been Whitney Houston's mother. Sort of.


There's a crystal planet, hall of mirrors, slinky polyester pink jump suits, demonic laughing John, Alan being loyal, Helena being creeped out by John and a green death star 'laser'. This is a doppleganger episode, seems every sci-fi show had to have one.

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!
