    Loving these.

    That person in your circle of friends who can't handle spirits but insists on drinking them.

    Careful, asking AI to make James Cordon funny is the sort of thing that will cause Judgement Day.

    Who doesn't want to see Cordon's owner, Satan, fighting Skynet though?

    I find it highly offensive that you are slandering the reputation of Satan by implying that he is associated with James Cordon.

    Only one person could have made that career happen! Though I am baffled as to what was in it for Satan.

    I'll go to my grave insisting that getting Space 1999 instead of a second series of UFO is one of the greatest travesties in the history of British television.

    Yeah, but the Monkey's Paw result of that wish enacted would be a series of UFO about the Moon & Moonbase with Straker & Co. aboard being blown out of the galaxy by the aliens instead of more twisted melodramatic grownup Captain Scarlet paranoiac thrills you really wanted.

    To be fair, if it had got a second series it would probably have been unrecognisable from the first - glances at Space 1999 series 2.

    As alluded to above, the Runaway moon on intergalactic adventures was first mooted as a format revamp for UFO's second series so you're very right to moot that.

    Similar efforts with Ryu, not so good IMO

    The intended UFO Series 2 was going to be 10 years later and set on the moon, but IIRC the runaway moon concept came in after it had been cancelled and they were looking for an idea to reuse the work they already did whilst keeping the new show away from Earth to satisfy executive demands. One of the early versions of Space 1999 did apparently have the UFO aliens being responsible for it though.

    You're right about the runaway Moon being a later addition and the timeskip...
    ...but the vastly expended Moonbase and an edict from ITC US would've meant little to no Earth shenanigans.

    True, but I still rather would have had UFO in a moon city than Space 1999 assuming they could have worked the good stuff into the new setting.

    I suppose the silver lining is that UFO eventually indirectly begat X-COM.
