A&E Home Video proudly presents world-renowned producers Gerry & Sylvia Anderson's seminal sci-fi adventure series...Space:1999. The adventure continues for the trapped Earthling citizens of Moonbase Alpha as the satellite travels farther into the nether regions of space. Each adventure is a bout for survival as the awe- inspiring wonders of the universe are revealed to the neophyte travelers. Premiering after Star Trek and before Star Wars, Space: 1999 offered TV audiences cinema style special effects, grand set design and sleek, ultra-modern costumes. Leading the extraordinary cast are stars Martin Landau (Academy Award winner, Ed Wood), and Barbara Bain (three-time Emmy Award winner Mission Impossible), and featuring an international cast of guest stars, Space: 1999 was the most expensive and lavishly produced sci-fi series of its day. Set contains the following episodes: Alpha Child The Last Sunset Voyager’s Return
The fourth video set of Space: 1999 contains three more episodes from Thunderbirds creators Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's 1975 British series. The premise of this sci-fi cult classic is that Earth's moon was blasted out of orbit, sending the crew of Moonbase Alpha on an unexpected interplanetary journey, looking for a place they can call home. The castaways on Moonbase Alpha, led by Commander John Koenig (Martin Landau), continue their drift through the universe, where they encounter fantastic planets, oddball races, and cataclysmic perils. In "Alpha Child" the first moon-born child grows quickly; "The Last Sunset" has the moon drawing near a new planet with astonishing results; and in "Voyager's Return" a space probe from the past reveals secrets about one of the Alphans. Space: 1999's then state-of-the-art special effects hold up well, less so the deliberate pacing. But these fan-favorite episodes are a must for all earthbound Alpha devotees. --Jenny Brown
