Unwilling to let the UFO 2 pre-production work go to waste, Anderson instead offered ITC a new series idea, unrelated to UFO, in which the Moon would be blown out of Earth orbit taking the Moonbase survivors with it. This proposal developed into Space: 1999. When Space:1999 was broadcast there was no trace in its plot of the show which had been its precursor.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone else remember the bubblegum cards and dinky models that came as a commercial spin off from the above.
