I think there is more that makes it canon than not. Particularly how it comes full circle at the end with the Meta signal. Alpha may have been travelling all this time to find Alpha. I don't know how they managed it, but that's a lot of closure in seven(ish) minutes. It's extremely well done. My only wish is that it had been Koenig and not Sandra, as it seems unlikely to me that she'd be the last to leave the base.

So that was interesting as a one off very good, but it didn't make me want a series but still a fine effort.

Writing wise its only Dr Russell that's a bit off, she's a bit too in everyone's face for a bit too long, we keep rehashing her take on the situation rather than advance the story.
Production wise (and this probably can't be helped) loooooooong Music cues to cover for the fact you can't see the Model shots.

Yes i wondered about how i would feel about the new Dr Russell but eventually i didn’t mind her take. I have given a few listens after initial hesitancy and as long as they do a set with definite end, i do not mind ,it all depends on what type of stories they deliver really.It could turn into something fantastic. But and this is not a dig at Mr Briggs as he is very enthusiastic about most stuff (except The Boy That time Forgot-he was allowed an opinion once) But he is too far stretched and involved in too many things when i feel he should turn his attention to finishing things he has begun Charlotte for example and yes the Prisoner and maybe that Jekyll and Hyde thing.He seems to want to be the first involved when ideally he should be overseeing things. It may be a case of getting writers different to the usual ones to script them. Not that the BF writers are in any way incompetent at all...its another space drama,but hey i may be surprised i will see what the second set is like then decide,and i wasnt even going to try this one.

Listened to this on Thursday/Friday.
I have never seen the TV show and have only the most basic knowledge of it, so came to this as a newbie. As such I have no idea how much of it is a rehash of the original and how much is Nick Briggs' re-imagining.
I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to more. Performances all good, script excellent and I will definitely be buying more when they come out. I don't have anything else particularly insightful to add.
The bottom line? I ordered the complete bluray from Amazon. after I listened. That tells you all you need to know about what I thought of it.
People have criticised Nick's scripts in the past for being full of people saying "What the hell". I never really noticed it before, but I did notice it here.

I liked it it was enjoyable but its one of those things were they should have waited till they had multiple scripts in the bag before releasing. When is the next one due?

Unless I'm mistaken I think Nick said production on the first full set would begin recording either late 2019 or early 2020. So I would think an announcement would be sooner rather than later.

March & April look like fairly quiet months on the BF schedule. I wonder if they do a limited lead time and squeeze vol. 1 in on either of those months. Nick has said other writers would be contributing to the series, so I'm really curious to see who will be penning the adventures.

Would like to have turned into a series but the character of Helena, must be brought into line, in your face,cussing-no you can not change a character to those extremes.

I discovered Space 1999 thanks to the Breakaway box set and really enjoyed it, so I'm really hoping this first volume will be just as good. I'm usually not a fan of Mr.Briggs's Doctor Who scripts - there are exceptions of course, such as The Brink of Death or The Enigma Dimension - but I think he's a much better fit for the non Doctor Who series.

Well he hasn’t scripted anything in this new set so it’s probably your lucky day
