Alpha Child

Episode 7

Saturday, August 3, 2024 • Duration 59:41

Alpha Child. Season 1, Episode 7. First broadcast Thursday 16 October 1975. An eerie green glow is making for Alpha, bringing with it the most terrible consequences, as the first baby born on the base undergoes two periods of ultra-rapid growth, becoming in mere seconds a terrifying English moppet and shortly after that Julian Glover in a skimpy miniskirt. Is this the next stage in human evolution, or merely an invasion by an alien who wants to give his mother a nice makeover and a good rogering before (inevitably) killing everyone on the base?

Voyager’s Return

Episode 6

Sunday, June 16, 2024 • Duration 01:00:44

Voyager’s Return. Season 1, Episode 6. First broadcast Thursday 9 October 1975. This month, John and Victor decide that the pursuit of a shoebox full of polaroids is a good reason to risk the crew’s lives — entrusting their safety to this week’s guest star, a Nazi rocket scientist or something with a secret past that inevitably involved killing a whole bunch of people in an easily foreseeable accident. However, things hot up with the arrival of three steatopygous spaceships captained by a heavily made-up alien with no facial expression, who is understandably resolved to kill everyone on the base and all the loved ones they left behind them.

Death’s Other Dominion

Episode 5

Sunday, May 5, 2024 • Duration 59:36

Death’s Other Dominion. Season 1, Episode 5. First broadcast Thursday 2 October 1975. This month, we’re faced with an alarming metaphysical choice: eternal life among a bunch of absurdly hot models in Hugh Hefner’s second least favourite Swiss chalet, or a normal lifespan cleaning up the corridors of Moonbase Alpha after its latest nuclear catastrophe. Victor, Helena, Bob and Alan all want to make the obviously correct (if basic) choice, but their fun is inevitably spoiled by miserable old John Koenig and the second law of thermodynamics.

War Games

Episode 4

Monday, February 12, 2024 • Duration 59:43

War Games. Season 1, Episode 4. First broadcast Thursday 25 September 1975. This month’s ethereal immortal beings in a surreal Pinewood studio are Isla Blair and Anthony Valentine, who are (reasonably enough) so keen to avoid meeting the crew of Moonbase Alpha that they decide to just kill everyone on the base instead. Or do they?

Collision Course

Episode 3

Saturday, December 30, 2023 • Duration 59:40

Collision Course. Season 1, Episode 3. First broadcast Thursday 18 September 1975. Moonbase Alpha is on a collision course this week, ineluctably destined to crash into a giant pustulent planet. Or is it? Commander Koenig — overcome by the charms of Queen Margaret Leighton — doesn’t think so, and so he turns up to Main Mission in his pyjamas like a Moonie and threatens to gun down anyone who attempts to prevent the collision, including, upsettingly, our own Barbara. But — inevitably — it all turns out for the best, and we end our second episode in a row staring out the window contemplating the metaphysical metamorphosis we have wrought.

Force of Life

Episode 2

Saturday, November 25, 2023 • Duration 01:01:17

Force of Life. Season 1, Episode 2. First broadcast Thursday 11 September 1975. An eerie blue glow invades Alpha and takes control of a young Ian McShane, who suddenly becomes prone to bouts of German Expressionism and freezing attractive young people from the 1970s. A star is born this week, in Force of Life.

Breakaway

Episode 1

Saturday, October 28, 2023 • Duration 01:08:22

Breakaway. Season 1, Episode 1. First broadcast Thursday 4 September 1975. September 13th, 1999. A nuclear waste dump on the moon is destroyed in an explosion so violent and so catastrophic that it creates a major science fiction show on ITV and the commentary podcast which tells its story. But before that, we witness some harrowing deaths, some attractive moustaches, and the quivering emotional restraint of Dr Helena Russell, from which this podcast gets its name.

Dragon’s Domain

Episode 8

Saturday, October 5, 2024 • Duration 01:02:33

Dragon’s Domain. Season 1, Episode 8. First broadcast Thursday 23 October 1975. This month’s eldritch alien threat is, for once, not intent on killing everyone on the base; instead it takes the more focused approach of killing everyone on a deep space probe and then hunting down and destroying Moonbase Alpha’s resident Italian big game hunter. Oh, and traumatising an entire generation of nerdy moppets in the 1970s.

Mission of the Darians

Episode 9

Saturday, December 7, 2024 • Duration 01:03:53

Mission of the Darians. Season 1, Episode 9. First broadcast Thursday 30 October 1975. This month, we’ve been invited to a century-long dinner by Joan Collins. The menu, as always: the basic proteins, amino acids, trace elements and enzyme variants of the lower classes.

Guardian of Piri

Episode 11

Saturday, March 1, 2025 • Duration 58:42

Guardian of Piri. Season 1, Episode 11. First broadcast Thursday 13 November 1975. Just six weeks ago, famous miserable bastard John Koenig was saving the entire crew from the horrific prospect of eternal bliss in the company of the hottest models the 1970s could offer. This week, he’s doing the same thing, only this time he’s brought a gun.
