95. Space Scamps – Oh Good, Another Breeding Program!
About this episode
Miles and Charlie discuss episodes of Space 1999 while exploring various themes and guest stars.
Miles and Charlie have come down with a case of the ‘too British for Star Trek’ and are coping with it the only way they know how, by once more becoming Space Scamps and hopping over to Moonbase Alpha for three more episodes of Space 1999!

Finally, ‘Missing Link‘ gives us a guest turn by Peter Cushing in a costume choice slightly more dignified than Christopher Lee back in Space Scamps II, and Charlie asks us a terrifying question: why have we not watched any season 2 yet… EPISODES MENTIONED: Force of Life (09:14) Alpha Child (28:58) Missing Link (50:53) TALKING POINTS: The Abominable Dr. Phibes, New Classic Doctor Who, The Employees, The House on the Borderland, Sailing, Rhinestone Cowboy, a very young Ian McShane who to Miles’ surprise is NOT playing a scumbag, coworkers coming into work while sick, Space 1999’s production values ALWAYS impress, Sunshine is a great movie, is this incest? Maybe. Avengers Issue 200…
