- To honor the late Actors and Production staff of the TV series Space:1999, this video was created for the closing ceremonies of the Alpha:2012 convention held September 2012 in Burbank, California.
I feel so old now. I never stopped loving this series. I watched these glued to the TV as a kid. My Dad and I would never miss them. My Dad is still alive at almost 81. Maybe we will watch them again.
I hope that both you and your dad are still doing well!
Space 1999 was and is a great show even in 2019. Makes us think about mankind.
R.I.P. Martin Landau, Commander John Koenig 1928-2017
One of my favorite actors of all time.
Excellent actor. I remember this tv show when i have 7 years old.
I loved him in this show
One of my childhood heroes.
I remember the show very fondly because it was believable and not cheesy looking like lost in space. Visual effects were on par with Star Wars circa 1977. The original theme had tension in it that complimented the opening narrative. There were 3 toys I craved as a kid but were too expensive for my parents. The life support packs were made into a transmitter and receiver walkie talkie like unit. Each pack was 49.95 which in 1977 was alot of money for 1 toy, and you needed 2 units to communicate. There was also a model of the Eagle 1 spacecraft. A fake handheld communicator and handgun set was around $29.95. I cant be sure but I thought there was a moonbase Alpha model. Martin Landau played the commander role very well and sometimes overdone like Shatner. Barbara Bain was his doctor mccoy without the dramatic sayings or outbursts. I was 10 when the show started and had a "crush" on Mya . A character known for her ability to change into animal form (frequently a hawk). Wish they'd do a reboot!!!
It’s with a heavy heart I pass this news that actress Zienia Merton who portrayed Sandra Benes has passed away. She will be dearly missed. RIP
😢😢🙏❤️
I didn't know 😔
Zienia Merton who played Sandra died September 14th 2018, this year. R.I.P. to her and Martin Landau who passed away last year, 2017 also.
R I P Mr. Martin Landau our Commander Koenig.
The loss of yet another childhood icon.
Now Commander Koenig is reunited with his dear friend Professor Bergman up in the stars where they shall share that special bottle of Brandy that Victor was saving. I dearly loved this TV show as a teen. This show was so exciting and it created so many great memories that I still carry with me. Also seeing Mr. Landau in all his earlier works ie Mission Impossible and for me, one of the best, was of him playing Bela Lugosi in the Ed Wood movie that he won the award for. He was just awesome in that part and in all of his dramatic roles. Such a great actor.
So many of us kids back then looked up to or at Landau's performance of Koenig like a hero or role model. He was cool calm and tried to be rational before making hasty decisions.
Landau and Bain's daughter is actress Juliet Landau from the Buffy Slayer and Angel series among many others.
Why did you have to recall one of my most favourite scenes between John and Victor from "The Black Sun". Not to forget Victor's cigar.
The Dark Angel Barbara Bain
The Dark Angel to everything that was...
Everyone will left this world,it just a matter of time.No one truly exists in this world forever.When there is birth,there is death.When there is no birth,there is no death.
Yes many of them are been dead since 2012.
This makes me feel so sad, many of them died at such a young age.
That show was 40 yrs ago so even the young ones would be in their 60's. Kinda feeling old now!
Steven Rowe. I'm sorry I didn't get to know these people, these professionals ; any better than just watching them on t.v. or reading their names in the closing credits. May they all rest in God's eternal peace.
Steven Rowe. Yeah, some of them very young indeed. Barry Morse lived to be 90 yrs old though.
I'm shocked how many of them didn't make it to age 60! It was almost 50 years ago now, so of course a lot of them have passed away, but so many of them didn't live to 60 years old. That's odd.
Amen
So many have died and some so young ! Very sad! Wonderful program when I was growing up in then 70s!
Comander Marten Landua have died of operation complections at 89 . a real lost .. he was figher number one .
We are all going sooner or later . May God have mercy on our souls when time comes .
Greeting from Qatar .
It was one of the best Itv show ever in the 70's
MALCOLM ROBINSON it still is in my eyes...
in my view the best live action show Gerry Anderson ever did. ( he did about 8 shows as co-producer)
fué una serie que planteó posibilidades increíbles , fué genial de principio a fin
The best tv show ever !!
Season 1 was.
one of my favorite shows growing up in the 70's😍😍😍
me too
I was shocked to see how many people from the show are no longer around.
Being a child from the time when this show was produced, you've got to remember these people were in the prime of adulthood when it aired. Some were even in middle age By 2012, many would be gone, whether by disease or simply old age as that is a space of 35 years. I'm in my low 50's for comparison now. That is how each generation knows it's getting older... when people of your era (as a child) in entertainment start dying off and retiring.
Do t forget, it was a 70s show. Time is passing.
@@joncouncil4454 I hear you. I was also a kid in the 70s and loved the show. I'm 54 now and can't believe how fast time has passed. Getting old sucks......................
Dear gods, I wish I'd never clicked on this, I'm in tears now.. :'(
All friends well met
And they're out there yet
In a place and time
Where it's always Space: 1999.
(with apologies to Vincent Starrett)
How can 10 people just put a finger down to this beautiful Memoriam ?? At leats, if you don't like, just don't quote... and respcet all these people who made us dream with Cosos 1999...
I loved this show when I was a kid and seeing this was a nice tribute and also makes you realize that life is indeed very short
Hard to believe the show is 45 years old. Where did all that time go?
Gerry Anderson MBE Executive Producer/Creator (1929 - 2012) Sylvia Anderson Executive Producer (1927 - 2016)
Sir Christopher Lee CBE "Captain Zantor" "Earthbound" S1 (1922 - 2015 )
Joanna Dunham "Vaana" "Missing Link" S1 (1936 - 2014) Dennis Burgess "Nemen" "Mission Of The Darians" S1 (1926 - 1980) Richard Johnson "Lee Russell" "Matter Of Life And Death" S1(1927 - 2015) R.I.P x
We now commit Martin Landau to this honorable list.
RIP, Commander.
I often forget that it started filming in 1973 - 43 years ago - so even the youthful cast members in their 20's will be collecting their bus passes and pensions. RIP
indeed...time waits for no-one
Martin Landau left this world in year 2017.
@@12347873 A great actor I loved his performance in North By Northwest and just be sheer coincidence recently ordered Crimes and Misdemeanor a film from 1989 in which he gave a fantastic performance - perhaps his best.
RIP Sandra Benes ✝ 2018
Martin Landau R.I.P.
You made me travel in space
Every night at dinner I saw this TV series, and I've never lost a bet, today I bought this TV series feeling the same emotions than 30 years ago, I Will remember those people for the rest of my life !
RIP Martin Landau!!
aaround celebrity hoax. He is still alive
No, he isn't! He died July 15, 2017. :(
And now sadly we add to that Martin Landau who as Commander John Koenig gave us the glue that held Moonbase Alpha together. RIP Martin. "....To boldly go......"
It's sad that so many of these people didn't get to survive until the present when Sci-Fi conventions are so numerous that anyone from these shows would be able to meet thousands of fans.Can you imagine a Comic Con panel with Space 1999 cast/crew?
And of course, last week we lost Sir Christopher Lee.
How terribly sad I didn't know Tony Anholt had died so many years ago. Hauntingly lovely music track too
Phil Walker yes, he died from a malignant brain tumor.
Reflections of my Life....Marmalade. Sadly, Dean Ford the lead singer of the band passed away last year. RIP to all of them.....see you in the cosmos.
I was very lucky to have met him, made time for the fans - top man :)
"Reflections Of My Life" by Tracy Huang in case anyone was wondering.
Such a powerfully beautiful song - so fitting for this video.
A hit for Marmalade 1969...
My thanks for that piece of information.
Thank you for posting the artist of the version 👍💯
This is a beautiful tribute.
thank all of you alphans, it was beautiful, Cosmos 1999 really beautiful, the moon, Lonny Armijos, Guayaquil - Ecuador
What a beautiful tribute! I'm 45, and I couldn't wait for this to come on tv. I had a crush on Catherine Schell's character Mia. I sure hope Hollywood realizes, that this is quite revivable, as a film, at least, if not a show. Seems today's sci-fi could use a breath of fresh air
It's good to know that Catherine Schell (Maya) is still alive as of Dec 2021 according to IMDB.
RIP such great actors and such a great show thay will be sadly missed by me and many others
r i p to Sandra as well as Martin Landau & Tony & Victor they will be missed
Martin Landau was one of MY favorites! He definitely had CHUTZPAH!!!
5 minutes 10 seconds of total perfection. Incredibly moving, brilliantly researched and put together. Thanks for creating this..
Lynne Frederick was stunningly gorgeous. It has never been confirmed how exactly she died.
Great music and very, very sad. Particularly regarding Tony Anholt and Gareth Hunt, two great, era-defining actors, both gone way too soon.
It’s July 2024 and I’m 68 years old. And I still love this series, especially season one!
As a fan of Space:1999 it's an honor to have watched this video !! Thanks a million !!
A beatiful tribute. Brought tears to my eyes. Space: 1999 was the show that got me hooked on sci-fi as a 10 year old kid. Here I am many decades later and still hooked. My dad took me to watch Star Wars at the cinemas when I was 11. I have taken my son to sci-fi conventions and movies since he was 5 years old. Unfortunetly my dad had passed away when Star Wars VII was released or we could have went all 3 generations together to watch it. I still have my old Dinky Toy Eagles, my MPC kits I built and painted as a kid. My 2 Vinyl albums with Space: 1999 audio stories, Space: 1999 board game, the action figures or dolls and other things as well from when I was a kid. I have bought some of the newer Sixteen 12 Eagles, the Mark IV Hawk, as well as some of the new Round 2 plastic model kits and I'm thinking about picking up my old hobby of model building again. Amazing that 47 years later this show still means so much to so many and that the space vehicles and effects created by Brian Johnson and Martin Bower still are such favourites by sci-fi fans and model builders all over the world.
loved Tony Anholt, so sad that so many are no longer with us, good journey to all of them x
This really makes you feel sad, so many gone. makes you wonder how long any of us have.
Long enough, hopefully. A wise man once said that it is not how long you live that matters, but what you do with your life, how you fill your days that is important.
It's truly amazing the number of people who have passed on.. The show was from so long ago.. RIP to everyone.. Thanks...
Now2016,Iooking back space1999 is amazing。
From Germany: Was really nice. One of the most beautiful series from my childhood! These were all my heroes that I admired so much as a little boy. I dreamed of being an Eagle Pilot like Allan Carter and having the most incredible adventures with Allan Carter, Tony, Maya and all the others. Somehow I miss these times.
I loved this show so much as a young kid I remember my grandmother bought me the space ship and the dolls for it wish now I would of kept it. I remember my grandmother got upset at me for watching the rerun late at nite what fond memories!!!
I still have all mine saved.
Sadly, this needs to be updated yet again with the passing of Zienia Merton (Sandra Benes) yesterday.
6 years ago of the death of Gerry Anderson R.I.P Gerry Anderson.
combat,space1999,logans run,giant robot....i miss old days
Well done video montage. The only actress still alive is Barbara Bain. What a series. Maybe someday we will see a movie of Space 1999. What glory and happiness it will be before I die. Today I am 58 years old. Back in 1975, I was 10 years old, and Spoacew 1999 impacted me. How I cherish those years with my twin brother.
Catherine Schell, Nick Tate, and Prentis Hancock are still around.
Hello to everyone! To those who put all this together, and somehow brought it to me, 1000 thanks. many many thanks to all of you too who shared such beautiful coments. I also did never thought that so many have gone, and after this work how many others did. Back then, I had a sad life, and Spaçe: 1999 was the best things in my weeks, believe it or not. Now I wish you all the best, and your loved ones too, as I want for me and mine too. Keep strong!!!
Very, very sad to see that they are all gone.
They are all - a bit - responsible that I am - meanwhile for a long time - within the space industry; for years now as a principle research scientist.
TAKE CARE, WHEREVER YOU MIGHT BE.
So many gone... now I really feel old.
Space: 1999 needs to be remade into a movie...STAT
R.I.P. Zienia Merton, September 14th, 2018.
godspeed to all of them , and thanks for the memorises never forgotten ever .
A beautiful tribute. The research it took must have been remarkable. RIP. Thank you for the great times.
Poignant tribute to the work everybody now departed put into the show,especially if you've watched the episodes multiple times over the past 40 years.
Saw this series when I was a child. Miss it and the actors so much.
Goodness! So many who worked on this series have passed away? That brought a tear or two to the eye. Gotta say thank you for shaping my childhood / teenage years with this series - I appreciate the advanced technological world we live in today, because of Space: 1999. RIP to the dearly departed who brought us that superb show, Godspeed with "Operation Exodus".
And it Goes.........and so it Goes.........!! Such memories.........!! Thank You.........
Hello watching this in 2018 thanks for this I grew up watching this show. 😎🏁🍺🏆
RIP Martin Landau
Sadly, Martin Landau must now be added to this list.
It was a great series, I used to see it every night at 11 pm along with my mother in the living room, many beautiful times when we used to laugh and just talk while we watched
This is just beautiful. Thank you for posting. Space 1999 made me dream when I was a child. I remember my brothers and I watching the series on an old black and white TV. RIP all of those who have travelled before us.
Thanks for posting this. It reminds us of what a different time the world was at that time. the creativity was totally different from what it is today. There was no limit of the imagination. RIP to all that brought us Space 1999
My most sincere thanks to the team that put this memorial footage together, I watched this series when it was first aired in the 70s'. Through it I have fond memories of being a young lad who thirsted for such shows as this. To the journey.
As a 59 year old gay guy and an avid Trekker, I adored Space 1999 and Lost in Space......the list goes on and on. So many of the cast passed away far too young.
Great tribute to all those who have passed away who worked on this cult classic. .gone but not forgotten ..RIP
GREETINGS AND CONGRATULATIONS FROM MONTERREY, MEXICO I WAS A CHILD WHEN I SAW THIS GREAT TV SERIES AND I AM IMPRESSED, I CONSIDER MYSELF A FAN OF THIS FABULOUS BRITISH SERIES
As a child fan of this great show, they wont be forgotten. I wish more people were into making fan films of this show to continue the story onwards
I’m glad Martin Landau lived long enough to win an Oscar for portraying Bela Lugosi in “Ed Wood”. He was always an underrated actor. Barbara Bain is still with us at age 90.
We can now add Zienia Merton (Sondra Benitez) to this list after she passed away last week aged 74.
This gives me pause to consider just how long ago this show was on air first run. It was a part of my life as a young teen. Sad too is the relatively young age that many of these folks passed away at, especially Tony Anholt (Tony Verdeschi).
Wow, feels like I've just been to a funeral, but a lovely tribute. This show was before my time so I don't know much about it, but if it was a good show then I wouldn't be surprised if someone did a remake of it at some point in the future. They'd have to change the title if they do though, lol. So retro. Take care!
My favourite show when I was growing up in the 70's, sad to see so many have gone and quite a few at such a young age as well, there's probably a good number more departed since this video was made. Very touching, R I P to you all.
Tremendously moving tribute to all the talented and unassuming people who made Alpha tick both behind the scenes and in front of the camera!Class and dignity and their sheer professionalism made this an outstanding generation that gave great joy to us all and defined an era that unfortunately has vanished forever and left us empty and bereft!
marko krunic well said. I grew up in the 70s and was having similar thoughts
marko krunic. So very well said. Very eloquent and to the point. I feel so blessed having grown up in the 1970's, just to see this masterpiece. RIP to those who has gone on.
I hadn't even known that Pat Troughton (AKA Doctor #2 from DOCTOR WHO) had appeared in this show until now. Bless you for including him in this fine tribute.
I have a set of technical notes - duly signed by many of the cast - which I am privileged to have met - even I didn't know Gareth Hunt was an Eagle pilot.
wow so sad may they all RIP
Glad you enjoyed it! All the credits are at the end of the video - now you have an excuse to watch it again my friend :-)
Che tristezza vedere tutto ciò, la serie che più mi appassiono' da bambino . Era un sogno FANTASTICO!
great show ,
so thoughtful...was a great show
loved this show takes me back to when life was simple great video to all who have passed away gone but not forgotten RIP to one and all
Now we have lost Martin Landau:(
Gosh so many of these people died so relatively young!
RIP Zienia Merton and Martin Landau!
Was a diehard fan of this series; still am! Video was very well done!
Beautiful touching tribute Paul, made my eyes water.
That was a lot of good people
Sadly we have lost Zienia Merton & Martin Landau too in the past few years >>> May Good Gods & Goddesses blessed the Casts & Crew of Gerry Anderson's UFO & Space 1999 ... May we meet again in a Better World & Realm ... 🕯🌷🌿🌍💖
Such a shame so many died so very young!!! For Chrissakes, one was 40?!?!?! :(
So many of them gone, I was shocked. RIP gone but not forgotten.
One of my all-time favorite shows
excellent and respectfully presentation thankyou
Mi vengono i brividi a pensare che tutte queste persone non ci sono più una serie che guardavo sempre e che sto ancora riguardando! Requiem in pace!
Maravillosos video. Esta serie me hizo querer estar en el espacio. Nunca me la perdí. Son tantos recuerdos hermosos. Aún me acompañan. Saludos Capitán... Martin Landau... Nos veremos en las estrellas.
Awesome job with the memorium, great music and sequence...this was a great show, and this was so underrated compared to Star Trek, BattleStar Galactica and many other made for TV space flicks. May the cast and the crew of Space 1999 rest easy...RIP
