- Space: 1999 is a television show, which takes place on the Moonbase Alpha on the Moon in the year 1999 AD. The moon itself is no longer in Earth's orbit - due to a nuclear explosion, the moon has broken out of its orbit on an unknown trajectory; this is because nuclear waste from Earth is stored on the moon. When the moon escaped from orbit, when the series begin, three-hundred-eleven colonists were serving on the moon. There is no hope of ever returning to Earth, so it is decided that they do not try. As the moon travels through space, the colonists of Moonbase Alpha have many adventures, but their goal is to settle on planet because they cannot survive indefinitely on the moon.

- With Alan Fennell's previous pedigree in Anderson programs, it was inevitable that when a new one was announced, Fennell would be the first to grab it for a strip. Debuting on the week of the programmes release, or in some areas the week before, Space: 1999 was to become one of Look-in's most popular strips. The strip was written by Angus Allan, and Drawn by John M. Burns, and later by Mike Noble.

- With Alan Fennell's previous pedigree in Anderson programs, it was inevitable that when a new one was announced, Fennell would be the first to grab it for a strip. Debuting on the week of the programmes release, or in some areas the week before, Space: 1999 was to become one of Look-in's most popular strips. The series was about the adventures of a community of people aboard a base on the moon, the base was called Alpha and it looked after the dumping of the Earths nuclear waste amongst other things. When an accident occurs near the waste dumps, it causes a huge explosion, resulting in the moon being blasted out of the Earth's orbit. The inhabitants of Alpha now find themselves trapped on the base, and unable to get back to Earth, and must now embark on a journey to find a new planet on which to settle. Under the guidance of Commander John Koenig (Martin Landau), the Alphans come upon many new life forms and phenomena. The strip in comparison was very good in the main, with some inventive plotlines. It also had the uniqueness of being the only strip to start before the series aired on TV in some regions. With it's pedigree safe in the Anderson stable, this was probably unsurprising. Partway through the run, the story format changed and a new character was brought in, 'Maya' the shape-changing alien, a few weeks later the second series aired and the reason for this change became apparent, the format of the series had changed, and Maya (Catherine Schell), an alien woman had been brought in to 'Trek' the show up a bit. The second series was disappointing, but the quality remained in Look-in of course! The strip was written by Angus Allan, and Drawn by John M. Burns, and later by Mike Noble.

Space: 1999 is the last in a long line of science-fiction series that the Andersons produced as a working partnership, beginning with Supercar in the early Sixties and including the famed marionette fantasy series Stingray, Fireball XL5, Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons, Joe 90 and The Secret Service, as well as the live-action alien-invasion drama UFO. Space: 1999 owes much of the visual design to pre-production work for the never-made second series of UFO, which would have featured a more extensive Moonbase.
