Episode 43: The Bringers of Wonder (Space: 1999)
Oh yes it's the two parter as a two hour podcast. Will our stamina hold out? Colin's bladder? Katie's wine supply? Who knows - actually we do as we've just published the episode. We only had one domestic. I think.
The Bringers of Wonder is a cracking rollocking two-parter which sees the inhabitants of Moonbase Alpha (apart from John) brain-roofied into thinking their wives/boyfriends/former-dodgy-professor have to come to rescue them. Guess what? They are actually blood filled eyeball shower curtain monsters from another planet. Happens all the time.
Diana Morris is a brilliant bitchy maneater, one of the earthbound three trims his hedge, Tony fights over Maya with his arm-wrestling brother, Dr. Vincent is punching, Katie finds out how much electricity is in her brain and Alan has a girlfriend.
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!
