スペース1999
[b]Space: 1999[/b] is a 70s British [[science fiction]] TV series that ran for two seasons and originally aired from 1975 to 1977. 

Space: 1999 is the last in a long line of Sci-Fi series that Gerry and Sylvia Anderson produced as a working partnership, beginning with Supercar in the early Sixties and including the famed marionette fantasy series Stingray, Fireball XL5, [[Thunderbirds (series)|]], Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons, Joe 90 and The Secret Service, as well as the live-action [[alien]] invasion drama [[UFO (copyright)|]]. 

Space: 1999 owes much of the visual design to pre-production work for the never made second series of UFO, which would have been set primarily on the Moon and featured a more extensive Moonbase. Space: 1999 also drew a great deal of visual inspiration (and technical expertise) from the Stanley Kubrick film [[2001 A Space Odyssey]]. The programme's special effects director Brian Johnson had previously worked on both Thunderbirds (as Brian Johncock) and 2001. Many members of the special effects staff also worked in the movie [[Alien (1979)|]] and the [[Star Wars]] films some years later. 

The series was very famous in Japan, where it influenced the designs and look of [[macross|several Sci-Fi anime shows]] released during the following years.
