Space 1999 was preceded by UFO, made by (more or less) the same production company.<p>There was no teleportation - but there were ships flying a regular run to and from a moon base.<p>UFO is unbelievably good considering it was made in 1970. It&#x27;s of its time socially, ahead of its time visually, and a lot of the scripts still stand up as excellent imaginative TV writing.
