Making your way in the world today takes everything you've got.
Taking a break from all your worries, sure would help a lot.
Wouldn't you like to get away?
Sometimes you want to go
Where everybody knows your name,
and they're always glad you came.
You wanna be where you can see,
our troubles are all the same
You wanna be where everybody knows your name...

Great theme tune but never liked the programme much. Loved this one though and I'm waiting for this to come out on DVD:

Yeah I never liked Space 1999 much either.

I remember when ITV repeated it on Saturday mornings in the mid / late 80s.
I used to turn it on , watch the theme tune and within 5 minutes I would be bored and i'd turn over & watch Going Live instead.

How can I forget one of the most radical and influential and most well known pieces of electronic music ever written. Not only that it was also performed by a woman (Delia Derbyshire) , who went on to become one of the pioneers of electronic music.
I mean .... a woman , coming out with a totally electronic score for a primetime TV show in 1963.

Damn I wish the BBC had balls to take risks like that these days.

Search around, I'm almost sure Brian May did it, or had something to do with it. (theme tune that is)
I vaguely remember a 12" with a blues jamming session with May and Van Halen, on the flip side.

In the meantime, this pwns all;

Check out the future, it's what 1980 is gonna look like!
