Gerry & Sylvia Anderson's Space: 1999 started 48 years ago today. Opening credits music by Barry Gray 🤩

Oh yes we're so old :)

by the way

That means were as far from 1999 as it was when the series was made. 😲

@ProfBrianCox It was awesome music, I had it on a cassette tape I bought in the '80s of Sci Fi music.

@ProfBrianCox Loved Space : 1999. Had an Eagle toy too.

@ProfBrianCox Still to this day remains one of my favourite tv shows of all time. I still think there is a special place in Hell for what Fred Freiberger did to season 2.

Somebody took clips from the Star Wars movies and made a faux intro segment using this music. It worked surprisingly well. The did all 3 original SW movies. Found it!

@ProfBrianCox I'm sure I'm not the only one who had a schoolboy crush on Barbara Bain...

@ProfBrianCox yup

Loved this show as a kid, the Eagle is a brilliant design, up there with the very best!
