Space 1999 was from the producers of the British TV show UFO, Gerry and Sylvia Andersen.  In fact, the show grew out of UFO's unmade second season.

It was memorable for its high quality special effects, great music, energetic opening sequence and cast.  It featured two familiar American actors, Martin Landau and Barbara Bain, in the starring roles.  Both had worked for three years on Star Trek's sister-show at Desilu, Mission: Impossible.

Co-hosts Bob Turner and Kelly Casto look back on this short-lived series and share their insights.
