Despite appearing to be the right show in the right place at the right time, Space: 1999 ends its two-season run with an episode called The Dorcons, guest starring ex-Doctor Who Patrick Troughton. Though it would seem to be the prime contender to satisfy Star Wars-generated sci-fi mania on the small screen, the show’s run has already ended thanks to a combination of cast members’ demands for raises and creative control, and the slowly unraveling marriage of producers Gerry and Sylvia Anderson.
