Another Time Another Place

Two brains in one beautiful head

"It's just as well", says Judy Geeson, "that I don't take my parts home with me! What I mean is that the moment I leave the studios, I can cut myself off from the character I have been playing. If I couldn't do this, I might have been scared of accepting this role!"

She was talking about the part she plays with Martin Landau, Barbara Bain and Barry Morse in the Space 1999 episode, ATV on Thursday next. "Another Time, Another Place".

"Because", she explained, "I find myself among the victims of a strange phenomenon which turns us into duplicate beings. I have two brains and there's conflict between them. What happens is that I leap into the future and come face to face with myself, with my present existence in the past.

"No it's not frightening. but it's very eerie and it makes you think because we don't really understand the mysteries of time, do we?"

It is the first time Judy has played in a science fiction story of this description. She regards it as a challenge.

"It's much more mentally demanding if you I can't relate yourself to a character." she commented. "I think if you took a part like this one in 'Space 1999' home with you, you'd go mad."

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 colossal 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.
