I remember enjoying this when it was first shown and I was 9 or 10.


Never saw the seconds series. HTV never screened it. Apparently a lot changed. Tellingly, the FWC rulebook includes a section at the end for "films you may find inspirational", and includes "Space 1999 1st TV series".

You need to see the  2nd Season "The Rules of Luton"



I also think that serious actor Roy Marsden might be playing one of the creatures

Luton? Never watched tv series.
Luton, to me, means... being stuck in Luton Airport on a school ski trip for about 12 hrs. Aged 15/16...too young for bar... (Made up for that in Italy!). Nothing to do except smoke, (yeah!)... but tab machine out of everything except 'Pall Mall'...utterly horrible! 
Other activity was experimentally BITING each other.. for sharpest teeth! I did treasure a set of toothmarks , (Arm!), from a certain young lady! LOL!!! 
Oh.. to be a teen again...

That's brought back a memory.... of standing behind another engineer in the queue for the canteen in the exchange in Guildford.....and seeing the MOST impressive love-bite on his neck.

Me..."Cor...Smithy....She must have been very a passionate young lady."

Smithy...."No !......It was ****ing Neil Mcwomble (the name has been changed for legal reasons. ).......three other sods pinned my arms to my sides while he did that."

Well...whatever turns you on.

Cheers - Phil.

Strange customs in S. Wales

Except that Guildford is in the Sarf East of England, Ian. 

Cheers - Phil.

I grew up in luvvely Lootun! Worked, on a summer holiday job, as an assistant chef at the airport, aged 16, preparing food for package holiday flights (Monarch I think) - it was a 'coming of age' experience as I had to 'manage' the night shift of 30+ older women   Lots of perks and lots of 'learning' went on. The only tip the head chef gave me, was "if they start fighting - lock yourself in a cupboard!" and on the only occasion it happened (when one of the older women had caught her hubby with a younger colleague) the carnage was almost indescribable!
It was that really hot summer and Donna Summer was on the radio all the time - with "I feel love" ... the factory was baking hot and really humid - and the girls/women were down to almost working in their underwear most of the time ... it did terrible things to a young lad's blood pressure I can tell you  

Next summer I got a job at the Vauxhall car plant instead - the money was better - but the experience was horrific - smelly, greasy blokes, drinking sweet tea & condensed milk out of an urn, smoking all the time, working on an endless production line in grey ill-fitting overalls - on strike or stoppages almost every other day for some reason or other, and the industrial injuries were unbelievable* (a guy on our night shift got badly cut up whilst sleeping in a skip, when a colleague - who didn't know he was in there - dumped half a ton of metal swarf onto him - the Union called us out the following day, when management fired him for sleeping on the job - as the Union said that it was a health & safety breach by management).

*Another guy lost both his legs, at the knees, when the line jammed and he was so tired that he stepped in to unjam it, without turning it off first! Thankfully I was too far away to see it, just heard the scream ... terrible.

There's a film in there somewhere I'm sure!

I used to LOVE horror films..Got loads..But haven't watched one for yonks....
I don't think I'd like to watch that though, Mark !

Cheers - Phil. (Shudder !!)

I was think more of a 'Made in Dagenham' type film rather that 'SAW 42' Phil
