Our first of our three bonus pods sees us visit Into Infinity/Day After Tomorrow - so good they named it twice. Filmed between Year 1 and 2, this is an almost-Space 1999 episode, sharing a lot of the cast and crew. We have a lot of fun spotting the 99-isms amongst what was the highest of brow children's TV programme. Fred hadn't even got the gig, so may be he wasn't responsible for all of the jazzing-up/dumming down of Year 2, judging by this.

We have Brian Blessed being very non-shouty, Nick Tate being the main man, an annoying proto-Young Sheldon, Einstein for dummies, Katie actually being ok about Spring the dog being left behind, the peach melba woman no longer being alive and radio-active having an annoying hyphen.

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!
