As a special birthday podcast treat to Katie, Colin asked Kathryn Leigh Scott - one of the stars of the Space: 1999 episode "Dorzak" - to record a little message for her. It just so happens that we'd just done the episode on the pod, so it fit right in. And for the fans out there I'm sure there's a few bits in there that will be of interest to the Space: 1999 community.

As we recorded that after the podcast, the rest is our normal gubbins of what-what-what-ness, including Alan falling in love, Katie liking the dress, but not with appendicitis, us not really getting onboard with Dr. Ed, and just where was John?

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!
