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

Episode 41: Space Warp (Space: 1999)


Listen Later

We think this is the funniest episode we've done yet, but then again not every episode has pink gimp masks and Maya turning into every creature you could imagine (and some you haven't). So they are rich seams to mine.


We've John and Tony going off to a derelict spaceship and not finding a xenomorph, Maya with a lot of hair in medical, Alan being the primary action hero we all know and love and Helena not knowing how many penises the at-deaths-door alien possesses. There's something about a space warp too but we've totally forgotten about this week's MacGuffin once Maya turns into her dad/Dinny Powell.


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!
