- Italian novels updated in the Merchandise Guide- new information on the first 1975 AMZ volume (thanks to Angelo), and new information on the Fanucci reprints from this year; both with illustrations.
TV Times (a British version of TV Guide) has a report in the 2nd October 1999 edition titled 'Down in the jungle something...beeps'. It begins: "Gerry Anderson's classic sci-fi series, Space 1999 is heading back into orbit. This time it's 2024, 25 years since the moon was blasted into deep space by a nuclear accident, and a message is picked up at a hi-tech tracking station deep in the heart of the Brazilian Jungle......." It reports that a short pilot film has been shot and casting is underway to play characters who are the children of the original characters. However, the original design of the Eagle will be retained in the new series, now named Space: 2024. This is sadly untrue! Check out Fanderson news for more information and pictures of Kindred's Message From Moonbase Alpha, the short film which may spark interest in a new series.

Our two planets have met in the body of Time for the great purpose of mutation. We shall change utterly and the change will reverberate through the galaxies and universes of Eternity.
The CATACOMBS combines forces with the CYBER-MUSEUM.
The major changes (which together DOUBLE the size of the site):
- A new Episode Guide. Covering every episode and the movies, with credits, sfx and continuity details and bloopers in detail. Includes comprehensive links to every other part of this site, and to other sites.
- Comics Guide updated and greatly expanded (thanks to Paulo Jorge Morgado). Every story from the Charlton color comics now included, as well as every story from TV Junior, plus the Cracked parody. For all comics, you can either browse small versions of pages, or use frames.
- Cast and crew guide updated, with more pictures and updated information.
- Gerry Anderson production guide added to the Cast and crew guide. Includes a UFO feature and a special Day After Tomorrow feature, both of which have a lot in common with Space: 1999 and were made with many of the same cast and crew.

News: The ITC film and television library, which includes Space: 1999, has been purchased by Carlton Communications plc, a British company which owns a third of the UK ITV network stations. The ITC library had been part of the Polygram group, but was sold to Universal Studios at the end of 1998. The library is likely to be used to provide content for ONdigital, Carlton's digital channel service. Space: 1999 and the rest of the library will be managed by the Carlton subsidiary Carlton International. Any future video (or DVD) release is likely to be under the label of Carlton Home Entertainment.
News: FANTASPORTO, one of the most important SF, fantasy and film festivals in Europe (26th February to 6th March 1999 in Porto, Portugal) is planning a tribute to Space:1999.
Translated from the retrospectives page: "And, last but not least, the inevitable homage to the cultured series Space 1999, where maybe we will be able to see some of the "special ones" of the series as well as the pilot for TV. "
The festival has a web site (English and Portuguese sections- the news hasn't reached the English section yet) and email address.
- Credits section expanded with guest cast lists (links to Internet Movie Database) and a connections page- Space 1999 cast and crew who have appeared in other major science fiction film and television.
