a long time have pass since i last time saw my favourite scifi programme . still and with no disrespect and it be the best scifi i have ever see . special effect be not the only thing that make a scifi ( as well a any other sort of movie ) attractive and good and memorable . it be a good script and fine cast and the atmosphere of the time when it have be broadcast . in case of the space 1999 and there be also a strong context of reality . compare with the other similar programme and movie and the space 1999 deal with familiar object ( like moon ) and provide usually the imaginable situation . all these make people watch the show more capable to identify themselves with character and situation . certainly and the space 1999 have catch me in front of my tv every saturday night . very happy to find the programme on dvd .
