We return with an episode that involves a super secret organization, a castle, mind control chemicals, an assassin goon and plenty of other wild stuff.

Old Space Show – Knight Rider “A Nice, Indecent Little Town” with Tony Schaab

This one features a lot of Michael doing detective work. Plenty of mystery, clues, chases…but most importantly – AUNT MARTHA! Tony Schaab from ScienceFiction.com is the Companion for Knight Rider.

Old Space Show – Knight Rider “The Topaz Connection” with Tony Schaab

This episode of Knight Rider is very influenced by the likes of Playboy Magazine…in some weird fantasy realm where the Hugh Hefner of it all wants to spin it into hard journalism? Gilligan’s Island’s own Ginger (Tina Louise) guests as one of the “Escape” models! Tony Schaab from ScienceFiction.com is the Companion for Knight Rider. […]

Old Space Show – Knight Rider “Give Me Liberty… Or Give Me Death”

Brandon and Tony discuss this gee whiz rollicker of an episode as Michael joins in on a Cannonball Run type race which has been subject to foul play for the ratings!

Old Space Show – Knight Rider “Forget Me Not” with Tony Schaab

Maria Conchita Alonso guest stars in this episode that has Michael trying to foil an assassination attempt and protect a woman who was privy to information and now has amnesia. Yeah. It’s a lot.

Old Space Show – Knight Rider “A Plush Ride” with Tony Schaab

Michael goes undercover to find a bad apple that may disrupt peace negotiations that Devon has set up within a small military ops group.

Michael Knight super spy/ace detective in this one, where he races against the clock to find a key witness to get his friend off of a murder charge.

Old Space Show – Knight Rider “Inside Out” with Tony Schaab

Things could only come down from last week’s high, but did they have to fall so far. We agree this is the weakest of the bunch so far, but I personally give it kudos for looking like the prototype for the first Fast and the Furious film during an action scene toward the end of […]

Old Space Show – Knight Rider “Trust Doesn’t Rust” with Tony Schaab

To our surprise, KITT’s big arch nemesis arrives in the 9th episode of the series; KARR! Voiced by Peter Cullen, this left for dead prototype of our hero car goes on a tear in this episode and makes it easily one of the best so far. Tony Schaab from ScienceFiction.com is the Companion for Knight […]

Old Space Show – Knight Rider “No Big Thing” with Tony Schaab

Here’s an episode that attempts to shake some stuff up. Devon becomes really involved with and a focus of the plot. It’s a bit of a prison thing, corrupt cops and all sorts of stuff. Tony Schaab from ScienceFiction.com is the Companion for Knight Rider. The Brandon Peters Show will return Monday (1/2) with the […]

Old Space Show – Knight Rider “Not A Drop To Drink” with Tony Schaab

Another politically infused theme of the show finds Michael helping a family to keep their land. An interesting tidbit about this episode is that it incorporates some footage from Superman: The Movie into it. Tony Schaab from ScienceFiction.com is the Companion for Knight Rider. The Brandon Peters Show will return Monday (12/26) to conclude Tim […]

Old Space Show – Knight Rider “Just My Bill” with Tony Schaab

Knight Rider finds itself amid a political thriller scenario. An episode that contains a lot more Devon, it also leans heavy on the action. This one features a go for broke attitude with a lot of the biggest sequences we’ve had on display yet. “Just My Bill” also features a pair of guest stars that […]

Old Space Show – Knight Rider “Good Day At White Rock” with Tony Schaab

What kind of vehicle can you pit against KITT? Well, how about some motorcycles? Michael takes on some bikers that threaten a small town. Tony and I analyze another interesting turn from the series, the character of Michael Knight and some new stuff the car can do. Tony Schaab from ScienceFiction.com is the Companion for […]

Old Space Show – Knight Rider “Deadly Maneuvers” with Tony Schaab

While its the third episode aired, there’s a lot of dialogue hints that it may not have been the intended third in order. It’s an interesting mystery/whodunnit type episode that continues to showcase a rather strong action show about a man and his talking car. This episode we show some of our continued surprise and […]

Old Space Show – Blake’s 7 “Orac” with Steven Schapansky

In this giant-sized finale for Blake’s 7 Series One, Steven and I look over the decently impressive last episode. We also take a look back at the first series as a whole and slightly tease what’s gonna happen going forward on Blake’s 7. Steven will return for Series 2, but I need to catch a […]

Old Space Show – Blake’s 7 “Deliverance” with Steven Schapansky

The penultimate episode of Blake’s 7 series 1 is a bit of putting things into place for the finale, but it does include some Servalan action. We are also hinted at the mysterious Orac… Steven Schapansky from Radio Free Skaro, Lazy Doctor Who and Doctor Who: The Memory Cheats is the Companion for Blake’s 7. […]

Old Space Show – Blake’s 7 “Bounty” with Steven Schapansky

Our discussion this episode is a fantastic one that goes on a side discussion of a bigger topic as Steven and I go over some unfortunate misguided racism in old production and how it has been in programs like Blake’s 7 and our beloved Doctor Who. But don’t worry, we do have plenty of fun […]

Old Space Show – Blake’s 7 “Breakdown” with Steven Schapansky

This episode stars one of the great legends of British television and film – JULIAN GLOVER! However, you have to wait til the 32 minute mark for him to show up. Steven and I dissect this sluggishly paced and unbalanced episode of the show. Steven Schapansky from Radio Free Skaro, Lazy Doctor Who and Doctor […]

Old Space Show – Blake’s 7 “Project Avalon” with Steven Schapansky

This episode is one big Star War knock off and we are absolutely here for it. Sabotage! Escape! Shootouts! Deception! It’s all here and we have a lot of fun dissecting, comparing and embracing this “rip off, don’t remake” episode of Blake’s 7! Steven Schapansky from Radio Free Skaro, Lazy Doctor Who and Doctor Who: […]

Old Space Show – Blake’s 7 “Duel” with Steven Schapansky

Travis is back in the fold and we are introduced to a new being called a Mutoid. This planet of one on one to the death episode is filled with good entertainment and intrigue. Steven and I’s conversation on it is a fun one that might sound like we have problems with the episode, but […]

Old Space Show – Blake’s 7 “Mission To Destiny” with Steven Schapansky

Time for some Agatha Christie in space! Steven and I discuss the murder mystery aboard a starship in this intriguing episode of Blake’s 7. There’s a lot of observations we find here in terms of production and show dynamic that makes for some interesting stuff to chew on. Steven Schapansky from Radio Free Skaro, Lazy […]

Old Space Show – Blake’s 7 “Seek-Locate-Destroy” with Steven Schapansky

NOW we can begin. This episode introduces some firm antagonists and gives a face to the villainous Federation finally. Meet Servalan, played deliciously by the incredible Jacqueline Pearce, who will torment the Liberator crew for seasons to come. Also, her hired assassin Travis enters the fold. Many wonderful lines, line reading and devious schemes come […]

Old Space Show – Blake’s 7 “The Web” with Steven Schapansky

Another weird, sort of nothingburger episode. But, it does have Deep Roy in it! Though there are some interesting details to chew on. With this fifth episode, there’s a worry that “Is this all Blake’s 7” is going to be? Luckily, next week things turn around and start to form the show. Steven Schapansky from […]

Old Space Show – Blake’s 7 “Time Squad” with Steven Schapansky

This episode we introduce the person who makes the 7 in Blake’s 7; CALLY! This is a hodge podge of what feels like 2 separate scripts, one utilizing a typical sci fi trope, the other utilizing a typical British sci fi trop – a rock quarry! There’s not a lot here, but Steven and I […]

Old Space Show – Blake’s 7 “Cygnus Alpha” with Steven Schapansky

Three episodes in to a British science fiction programme and they’ve already played the Brian Blessed card? Blake’s 7 means business! Also appearing here is the super talented and lovely Pamela Salem. Its an episode of trial and error with the ship and religious manipulation on the penal colony of Cygnus Alpha. Shouting to the […]

Old Space Show – Blake’s 7 “Space Fall” with Steven Schapansky

The show still isn’t quite into formation yet. We’re not quite to the 7. But, we meet Kerr Avon and the ship in this episode. Plus a dynamite guest turn from Leslie Schofield. Steven Schapansky from Radio Free Skaro, Lazy Doctor Who and Doctor Who: The Memory Cheats is the Companion for Blake’s 7. The […]

Old Space Show – Blake’s 7 “The Way Back” with Steven Schapansky

From one British science fiction show to another – It’s time for Blake’s 7! The show is very “Doctor Who adjacent”. Not only is it created by the father of the Daleks Terry Nation, but many of the people in front of and behind will reign super familiar. Unlike Doctor Who, the show does get […]

Old Space Show – Doctor Who “Dragonfire” with Tony Schaab

And as quickly as we began, it was over! Dragonfire marks a significant turn in the Sylvester McCoy run as the Seventh Doctor. It most importantly introduces us to his mainstay companion in Ace played by Sophie Aldrea. Ace is an important character that will go on to enrich the idea and writing of a […]

Old Space Show – Doctor Who “Paradise Towers” with Tony Schaab

Paradise Towers is a Doctor Who serial that I admire a lot, but doesn’t quite execute very well. Yet, I find myself returning to it more frequently than some I like more (The McCoy era is a very easy rewatch). We go over this one in plenty of detail. Which Kang are you? Tony Schaab […]

Old Space Show – Doctor Who “Time and the Rani” with Tony Schaab

All right – more DOCTOR WHO! But its exciting. We have a brand new Doctor and a brand new era. The final era of the classic series begins here with season 24! Beyond talking Time and the Rani, Tony and I go through great lengths going over the transition from season 23 and 24 and […]

Old Space Show – Planet of the Apes “The Liberator” with Russell McGee

Apes hits upon a controversial episode during its time that is so far past the point of controversy you probably wouldn’t be able to pick it out. Russell goes over the issue and we dive into this rather more back to standard Apes tv venture. Russell McGee from the Big Finish Productions & WTIU-TV is […]

Old Space Show – Planet of the Apes “The Tyrant” with Russell McGee

The Tyrant features iconic movie trailer voice Percy Rogrigues in the cast. It also features an excellent behind closed doors episode full of political power plays, lobbying, deceit and an incredible morality moment for our trio of heroes. Russell McGee from the Big Finish Productions & WTIU-TV is the Companion for The Planet of the […]

Old Space Show – Planet of the Apes “The Interrogation” with Russell McGee

Hollywood legend Beverly Garland graces the ape makeup and steps in for this rather interesting episode of Planet of the Apes. The interrogation portion is the sell of this episode, but the meat of it really comes in introducing us to Galen’s family and the continued excelling in social commentary that it brings. Russell McGee […]

Old Space Show – Planet of the Apes “The Surgeon” with Russell McGee

Russel and I hit a gem of an episode. Planet of the Apes takes the hospital procedural type tv genre and really spins it into something all its own. It’s not just a tired retread as we have seen in episodes past. Russell McGee from the Big Finish Productions & WTIU-TV is the Companion for […]

Old Space Show: Planet of the Apes Tomorrows Tide

Russell and I admire the nice change of scenery to the episode. We discuss this fishing slavery village our heroes infiltrate. Russell also has a bit of a theory of the potential genesis of the shark props used in this episode as well… Russell McGee from the Big Finish Productions & WTIU-TV is the Companion […]

Old Space Show – Planet of the Apes “The Legacy” with Russell McGee

This episode finally starts trucking some things along and making this series stand out. Not only does it have a young Jackie Earle Haley guest star, but it kind of re-pilots the show with a bit more interesting mission. Russell and I dig into this one with much optimism. Russell McGee from the Big Finish […]

Old Space Show – Planet of the Apes “The Good Seeds” with Russell McGee

“The Good Seeds” finds Galen and his astronaut pals down on an ape farm. Well, a farm run by apes. See as they help around the land while hiding out, yet have to deal with the adversary of mythic superstition. Russell McGee from the Big Finish Productions & WTIU-TV is the Companion for The Planet […]

Old Space Show – Planet of the Apes “The Trap” with Russell McGee

What happens when ape and man are trapped under the rubble of a desecrated city with no feasible way out? Do they get along? Do they fight to the death? Do we get another that’s not a common science fiction television show trope? Who knows, but Russell McGee and I are here to dissect it! […]

Old Space Show – Space 1999: “The Dorcons” with Jim Dietz

When this episode was originally set to drop, I was only saying farewell to the show Space: 1999. In the most tragic turn of events, it is also where I had to say farewell to my longtime co host of Old Space Show, Jim Dietz. Jim passed away suddenly on Monday, March 7th of 2022, […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “The Immunity Syndrome”

With only 1 more episode left, where could Space: 1999 go? Well, a kinda Tony focused episode and a bit of ridiculousness when it comes to some cheapness. Enjoy this penultimate episode of Old Space Show – Space: 1999 as Jim and I bask in the glorious suite they have to put Koenig in to […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “Devil’s Planet”

We are winding down now to the final 3 episodes of the show. This is another Space Babes in Outer Space kinda episode, but it’s also a VERY Koenig solo adventure. How does that turn out? You’ll have to see as Jim and I dig into “Devil’s Planet”! And our regular reminder, we are going […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “Dorzak”

Maya meets another psychon, but other space babe aliens try to warn her that he’s not the man she once knew. Lots of groovy things this episode; Carter has a crush, Dorzaks has some interesting apparel and a spaceship interior with lovely disco sci fi aesthetic on full display! And our regular reminder, we are […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “The Séance Spectre”

This week’s episode of Space: 1999 feels oddly culturally relevant to today. “The Seance Spectre” will remind you of Q’Anon and lots of conspiracy theory nonsense that’s been traveling around the past few years. Its a pretty eye opening and entertaining piece of British Sci-Fi television from the 1970s that feels still sadly relevant today. […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “The Lambda Factory”

I appreciate your understanding on a week of no Old Space Show, but we are back to business this week. And we have a whacky one which Jim points out is capitalizing on the ESP craze that swept the 1970s at this time. While its called “The Lambda Factor”, perhaps the “The Grouchy Factor” may […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “The Bringers of Wonder, Parts 1 & 2”

Well, we have a double sized episode for you today as we cover Space:1999’s first 2-part episode where big slimy eye aliens take the disguise of the loved ones of the crew of Moonbase Alpha. Did this need to be 2 episodes? Does it work? We go over that and many other aspects of it […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “A Matter of Balance”

Tony’s brewing habit has been one of the most odd choices to have as a constant character trait on a show that rarely focuses on them. There’s some anti-matter lecturing in this episode, a fish minotaur made from costumes used in the previous 2 episodes, a teen crush gone wrong and some set design that […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “Space Warp”

If you feel like this episode reminds you an awful lot of last week’s episode, you’re not alone! Many elements of our previous discussion and detail seep up here in a second week with Fred Freiberger at the helm writing it all. Hurray? And our regular reminder, we are going through Space: 1999 in the […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “The Beta Cloud”

Ah, another alien boards Moonbase Alpha and causes some hell. Something that happens all too frequently. We begin of two Fred Freiberg written episodes that almost easily reflect one another. And our regular reminder, we are going through Space: 1999 in the production order, not broadcast order. Streaming services have them in broadcast order, so […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “Seed of Destruction”

Science fiction loves the concept of mirror or parallel universes and Space: 1999 becomes no stranger to that in “Seed of Destruction”. Here tells the tale of a mirror Koenig from a mirror asteroid trying to infiltrate Moonbase Alpha. Hopefully nobody will notice the bad “part” of him. And our regular reminder, we are going […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “The AB Chrysalis”

Another week and another solid guest star coming from the Superman franchise. Sarah Douglas graces us in the AB Chrysalis. This episode is my personal favorite of the very wonky and up and down Season 2 thus far! And our regular reminder, we are going through Space: 1999 in the production order, not broadcast order. […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “Catacombs of the Moon”

We get a pretty big name guest star in this one, as Pamela Stephenson (Superman III, Saturday Night Live), stops in and plays a dying wife who appears in her husband’s fiery visions. This is a double up Barbara Bain episode, so lots of Helena and Tony while Koenig and Maya make some light touches. […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “New Adam, New Eve”

We get a veteran of the Puppet Master franchise here to play God as well as matchmaker in another wacky rendition of Space: 1999’s second season. And our regular reminder, we are going through Space: 1999 in the production order, not broadcast order. Streaming services have them in broadcast order, so be careful if you’re […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “Brian The Brain”

The great Bernard Cribbins lends his voice to an overhead projector robot that puts Koenig and Russell’s love to the test! And our regular reminder, we are going through Space: 1999 in the production order, not broadcast order. Streaming services have them in broadcast order, so be careful if you’re going to follow along. We […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “The Mark Of Archanon”

Caverns on Alpha? People frozen in said caverns? King Tut en vogue for Archanon? Football of Friendship? Yes, we go over these kinds of things in this episode. And our regular reminder, we are going through Space: 1999 in the production order, not broadcast order. Streaming services have them in broadcast order, so be careful […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “The Rules of Luton”

Normally Jim and I are pretty eye to eye on these Space: 1999 episodes. With “The Rules of Luton” we have an episode that has somewhat split us. It’s an episode that is a take on Star Trek as well as Lost In Space. Where do you fall on this one? And our regular reminder, […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “The Taybor”

Space: 1999’s second season has been a change of pace from the first season, but this episode got really more wild and weird. We get a Brian Blessed like guest star whose attire looks like the regurgitation of 1980s female aimed cartoon programming. Strap in as Jim and I digest it all. And our regular […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “Journey To Where”

What an episode title, eh? This one finds the Alphans sort of close to home, yet so far away. There’s material here that feels like it could have been two separate episodes. We divulge in this unique journey (to where) that features Tony as a craft brewing enthusiast. And our regular reminder, we are going […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “All That Glisters”

Welp, we have hit a rocky, tough spot here on Space: 1999. “All That Glisters” doesn’t provide much glister, but Jim and I do our best to power through it. This episode was quite a swing and miss from Moonbase Alpha. And our regular reminder, we are going through Space: 1999 in the production order, […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “One Moment of Humanity”

The androids are humans! The humans are androids! All sorts of that craziness and also robot sexy times lie ahead in Jim and I’s latest trek to Space: 1999’s second season in “One Moment of Humanity”! And our regular reminder, we are going through Space: 1999 in the production order, not broadcast order. Streaming services […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “The Exiles”

Jim and I are officially back in the saddle. Moonbase Alpha comes across the plot of Star Trek Into Darkness and a pair of exiled beings that look like professional figure skaters. Plenty of fun, plenty of wacky and plenty of weird in this Space: 1999 adventure. And our regular reminder, we are going through […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “The Metamorph”

Jim Dietz & Space: 1999 are back! We begin the journey on the other side, or back half of the series to see it to complete. Space: 1999’s second season is notorious for a shift and lots of changes and it’s readily apparent right away. It felt good to get back in the saddle with […]

Old Space Show: Quantum Leap “The Camikazi Kid”

Old Space Show - Quantum Leap: The Camikazi Kid

The show follows up last week with another pretty deep topical episode that deals with spousal abuse. Look out also for a pre-90210 Jason Priestly, Robert Costanzo and Friday The 13th Part VII: The New Blood’s Kevin Spirtas! Tony Schaab from the Sciencefiction.com is the Companion for Quantum Leap. The Brandon Peters Show will return […]

Old Space Show: Quantum Leap “The Color Of Truth”

We have reached one of the pinnacle episodes of the show in “The Color of Truth”. This is certainly Quantum Leap displaying how powerful, inspired and flat out great television it could be. Tony and I have a fantastic conversation revolving around this episode’s topic of civil rights and racial injustices. Tony Schaab from the […]

Old Space Show: Quantum Leap “Double Identity”

Tony and Brandon try best not to sleep with the fishes, see? Quantum Leap cribs from one of cinema’s greatest subgenres – the gangster film! Enjoy our analysis of the episode “Double Identity”. Tony Schaab from the Sciencefiction.com is the Companion for Quantum Leap. The Brandon Peters Show will return Friday (4/30) to close with […]

Old Space Show: Quantum Leap “How The Tess Was Won”

Old Space Show: Quantum Leap "How the Tess Was Won"

Sam takes to the farms as he finds himself in the role of veterinarian caught in the midst of a cowboy challenge for the love of the landowner’s inheritance. This episode introduces some tropes for the series and takes a few interesting turns, including a bit of a surprise ending. Tony Schaab from the Sciencefiction.com […]

Old Space Show: Quantum Leap “The Right Hand Of God”

Old Space Show: Quantum Leap "Right Hand of God"

“Oh boy” and “Yo Adrian” become synonymous when Sam Beckett finds himself in a boxing scenario. Early on it becomes apparent that the show is willing to reflect popular films in coming up with its plots. Tony and I receive our first taste of this type of Leap in “The Right Hand Of God”, which […]

Old Space Show: Quantum Leap “Star-Crossed”

Old Space Show: Quantum Leap "Star Crossed"

The second episode of Quantum Leap has some interesting turns and agendas regarding the series challenges and rules. And it also guest stars my favorite Lois Lane, Teri Hatcher. The show continues to impress and we are here to chat it all up. Tony Schaab from the Sciencefiction.com is the Companion for Quantum Leap. The […]

Old Space Show: Quantum Leap “Genesis”

Old Space Show Quantum Leap: Genesis

We begin again on Old Space Show. Quantum Leap is one of my all time favorite shows in the history of television. A historical anthology drama with a science fiction twist was one of the most endearing and impressive shows. The first season is short and still finding its way and is quite interesting upon […]

Old Space Show: Doctor Who “Revelation Of The Daleks”

Old Space Show: Dr Who: Revelation of the Daleks

I feel like this series just started, but here we are at the finale of Doctor Who: The Colin Baker Era, Year One. Revelation of the Daleks is one of Colin’s most popular stories and it’s not hard to see why. A bit more dark, violent and adult as well as one of the best […]

Old Space Show: Doctor Who “Timelash”

Old Space Show: Dr Who: Timelash

Welp, we had to get here at some point. Timelash is largely considered, voted and judged as being one of the all time worst stories in the entire history of Doctor Who. And…well…we can’t argue much with that. But we sure can take a look at what went wrong, some interesting tid bits it does […]

Old Space Show: Doctor Who “The Two Doctors”

Old Space Show: The Two Doctors

From a mult-evil Time Lord story to a multi-Doctor story, The Two Doctors is LOADED. We have multiple Doctors, multiple companions, Sontarans, time travel science, cannibals, Jacqueline Pearce and so much more. It’s a 3-part story as well, shot on location in Spain. So much to talk about, this one runs longer than usual. And […]

Old Space Show: Doctor Who “The Mark Of The Rani”

Old Space Show: Dr Who: Mark of the Rani

This week we are introduced to another diabolical time lord, The Rani! A character meant to be the next big thing, but unfortunately wasn’t used as much as expected. This marks Colin Baker’s Sixth Doctor’s first historical and sees his first crossing of paths with The Master. Pip and Jane Baker make their debut as […]

Old Space Show: Doctor Who “Vengeance On Varos”

Old Space Show: Dr Who Vengeance on Varos-featured

This week, we meet the aquatic, sluggish nemesis of the Sixth Doctor, SIL. Vengeance on Varos is a pretty grim tale, but one that has had a bit of re-appraisal in the past decade. Going into this series, it marks Brandon’s personal favorite serial featuring Colin Baker as The Doctor. Rachel Frend from the The […]

Old Space Show: Doctor Who “Attack Of The Cybermen”

Old Space Show: Dr Who: Attack of the Cybermen

From week 1 to week 2 of The Colin Baker Era, Year One, we jump seasons as we now begin Season 22. Doctor Who changed its format to 2-part 45 minute serials instead of the traditional 4-part 24 minute structure. Showrunner John Nathan Turner also opted for a darker tone as well. “Attack of the […]

Old Space Show: Doctor Who “The Twin Dilemma”

Old Space Show: Doctor Who: The Twin Dilemma

Welcome to a brand new adventure on Old Space Show! Who begins a Doctor Who podcast with “The Twin Dilemma”? Apparently, that’s me! Colin Baker’s debut as the sixth iteration of The Doctor is notorious for its reputation being one of the worst stories in the show’s history. Continually voted as #1 in the wrong […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “The Testament of Arkadia”

Old Space Show: Space1999: The Testament of Arkadia

This is it! The final episode of Season 1 of Space:1999. Old Space Show series 1 is in the books! We have a deluxe sized episode for you as we not only cover the episode, but look back and reflect on season 1 as well as give our TOP 5 episodes. Be sure to stay […]

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “Dragon’s Domain”

Old Space Show: Space 1999: Dragon's Domain

Only 1 more episode of Space: 1999’s first season remains. Here in this penultimate journey we have an odd, tentacled monster terrorizing a haunted ship graveyard.

Old Space Show: Space: 1999 “Mission of the Darians”

Leo McKern of The Prisoner fame guests on this one. Lots of pretty sets. And new crewmember Winters hops on board in “The Infernal Machine”!
