It was Lew Grade. But the show was turning a profit and as I said, all the pieces were in place. Then came a movie script...one that Grade fell in love with and was convinced would make bundles of money.

Unfortunately, this major motion picture was budgeted at $36 million...twice the budget for an entire season of Space:1999. He wanted it badly though, so it was the end of Alpha and the gang.

Lew Grade's pride and joy opened in the summer of 1980 and made a whopping....$7 million. The title of this debacle?

Raise The Titanic.

Good book and horrible movie. I think I heard it said lowering the Atlantic would have been better.
