Now here's a blast from my childhood. In this case, the detonation of the atomic reactor and weapons-grade fissiles that were dumped in a couple of what were supposed to be graves on the Moon in an alternative future that could've been....provided certain smart choices and mistakes and maybe even a few crimes alike had been made instead of what did happen in the real worlds. And if physics, biology and chemistry were slightly other than we knew - and still know - them to be, too.

Some of you reading this will remember the TV series created by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's team for ITC back in the mid-1970's. Martin Landau, Barbara Bain, Barry Morse, Catherine Schell and a bunch of other actors in front of the cameras. The first season was more a gauntlet of horrors for the surviving crew of Moonbase Alpha to either endure or die of. The second, closer to classic action-adventure tropes of past series.

Others of you watched it years or decades after the original broadcast fact via syndicated re-runs or the side roads of the Internet. There was going to be either a remake from scratch set further into the possible futures for TV, or a sprucing-up of the VFX and whatnot by a fan-run crew under the brand Space: 2099. But both of those came to grief in different ways.

So now we're going to have this audio-only revival and recasting from the same people who do the audio adventure stories licensed from the Doctor Who and Blake's 7 studios.

I am somewhat surprised, of course. Not sure how high my interest level is at this point. But we'll see.
