Hmm. There probably is fun to be had in a sci-fi tabletop campaign with the campy, free-wheeling tone of old British TV, but if you asked me to round up four players who've actually seen a single episode of Space: 1999, I think I'd struggle. It was a big, expensive production for the time, and did even make its way to the US, but in terms of enduring popularity I'd probably rank it somewhere below Sapphire & Steel and Blake's 7. Maybe above The Omega Factor.
