SPACE 1999: Brian Ball's The Space Guardians

from Breakfast in the Ruins Hosted by STIMBOT5000

Mateo Latosa returns to Derry & Toms to follow up on our episode on The Powysverse of Space 1999 by digging into one of the original 1970s novelisations, The Space Guardians by prolific British SF author (and early New Worlds contributor) Brian Ball. We take a look at the episodes it adapted, and the work Mateo and his colleagues undertook alongside Brian to revise it and bring it into line with their rationalised Space 1999 continuity. Existential horror! Moral conundrums!! Alan's hairy chest!!! LOVEJOY!!!! If you fancy testing your wrist power, you can still grab a copy of the Space 1999 Year One omnibus here.
