What's everyone's favourite Space:1999 episode? Mine's the one with on that abandoned spaceship, eating people.

The Rules of Luton?

That's the one. It's the best science fiction that was ever set in Luton.

Let's face it, there's only one thing anyone's going to be watching.

Wimbledon of Wombledom Common is on both BBC1 and BBC2, right now. How can there be enough matches to go round?

At 6 o'clock, Captain Kirk is investigating the death of an entire star system.

Invasion is on TalkingPicturesTV, right now. That's the one with the Japanese aliens hiding out in the British hospital.

Expresso Bongo is on TalkingPicturesTV at 9:30 o'clock.

Tonight's second Space:1999 episode is...
