Back in the 70s, Gerry and Sylvia Anderson had two science fiction series that did not last long in their initial run, but have lived for eternity in the TV afterlife, syndication. First was UFO, set in the 80s (the show was broadcast in 1970-71) where aliens kidnapped humans, and Supreme Headquarters Alien Defense Organization battled them. The alien ships were fought single man "Intercepters."

Well, time went on, the Intercepters were replaced by Hawks,

| The Hawk, originated in UFO, but only scene in Space 1999 episode "War Games." |
and the series was succeeded by Space 1999. Another piece of nerd porn, gone before its time.
While channel surfing the net, I found this other piece of nerd porn, combing the two series to a degree. Watching it, the thing is more unrealistic than the original concept of Space 1999. But still, it's fun to watch. Enjoy.
