1. Space 1999.Actually those were the weak points of 1999.I totally agree! And it was such a waste and a tragedy. Actors Martin Landau and Barbara Bain, and the best SFX of the era.
WHAT could POSSIBLY go wrong?
Dr Who killed it. the BBC shifted the Who season forward two months They said it was to move Who to a more appropriate part of the year so the last episodes didn't get shown at 6PM summer evenings
By pure coincident, the first of the seasons episodes screened just one week before the 1999 premiere.
Second week of "Who": massive audience drop. Third week, back to normal (top rating) when the viewrs realised 1999 had the budget and SFX, but "Who" had the writers, and Landau and Bain on their best days, were no match for Tom Baker and Lis Sladen on their worst.
I LOVED Tom Baker as Dr. Who.
He also was a great Rasputin in “Nicholas and Alexandra”.
