"SPACE 1999"

SYNOPSIS

An eerie phenomenon grips the moon. Moonbase Alpha Personnel become duplicated and come face to face with their future selves on Earth again. But for how long?

***

The mysteries of outer space take on a new and macabre development for Moonbase Alpha personnel as the moon is lashed by a terrifying disturbance which churns them into a vortex of horror. The moon, travelling at collosal speed, dissolves into a duplicate of itself, the second one then vanishing, as its inhabitants also form into double images, writhing in agony as they do so. All seem to find themselves in a totally different part of space.

The worst affected is Regina Kesslann (JUDY GEESON), of Main Mission. She is unconscious and whimpering as things appear to return to normal. Commander Koenig (MARTIN LANDAU), Helena Russell (BARBARA BAIN) and Professor Bergman (BARRY MORSE), still badly shaken, have an even greater shock when they discover they are now in a solar system and must have travelled millions of miles in a matter of seconds.

Regina's mind appears to be wandering when she returns to consciousness, murmuring about seeing two moons and the sun and that wherever she was the others were there too, but they will never come back. They are dead. Somehow, she is living in the future when the present is the past, and she is trying to warn them of something.

Whatever has happened, there is soon joy on the moon. Miraculously, they have found themselves in Earth's orbit again, with hopes of returning to Earth at last. But attempts to contact Earth are in vain. At the same time, Regina seems to have become more normal again except that she imagines she is married to Alan Carter (NICK TATE), to his complete astonishment. He hardly knows her. A little later, she dies and X-rays show that she had two separate brains.

Then the second moon is seen and is radiating Alpha's own signals. Somehow, they have caught up with themselves. Koenig and Carter set out in an Eagle to investigate, land on the duplicate moon and discover is have been evacuated except for their other selves, who are dead.

Back again at Moonbase, plans are put in hand for landing on Earth - to head back for future time. And those who go find themselves face to face with their other selves.... their future selves......
