Episode 47: The Immunity Syndrome (Space: 1999)
As the most famous Mackem on the internet, Katie starts the pod celebrating some amazing Sunderland-related news. Then we quickly move on to the penultimate episode of Year 2, The Immunity Syndrome. There's John wearing a strange ski mask thing, Tony getting space rabies, the girls flying a glider and an amazing red shirt body count. There's also a famous dad, which Katie gets before the opening credits have even rolled. So much for teasing that one.
Post-pod we take an article from 1977 about the Landau-Bain's bedroom habits, which is actually two sentences on them not going to bed on an argument, and the rest about their life style. We boo-hoo about the fact they 'only' had a five storey house in Beverly Hills, find out about how they met, and about Martin's secret passion. Spoilers: it's not Tony's homebrew.
