Space: 1999
Moonbase Alpha torn from Earth — British design porn in deep space.
Production studio
ITC Entertainment
ITC Entertainment, the UK production-and-distribution shop, sent Space: 1999 into syndication: Moonbase Alpha blown out of Earth orbit, Martin Landau and Barbara Bain managing the colony in tailored space chic. Gerry Anderson's live-action swing after the puppets — British design, gloomy metaphysics, model-shop spectacle. International sci-fi that still photographs like a fashion planet.
Space: 1999 is the ITC Entertainment catalog title: the Moon knocked out of orbit, Landau and Bain trying to run a colony in tailored space chic. Anderson after the puppets, live-action, British design with gloomy metaphysics and a model shop working overtime. International syndication sci-fi — the look is half the plot, the isolation is the rest.
On TV Flash, start with Space: 1999 and stay for the design grammar: corridors, uniforms, miniatures, a metaphysics that will not cheer up. The slate feels like a UK export in space clothes — handsome, dour, and still the reason a moonbase can look like a fashion editorial under threat.
