Has anyone else noticed all the SW actors that pop up on Space 1999 currently on Sky's the Zone? So far they have had Christopher Lee, Michael Culver (Captain Needa) and this Sunday's episode features Julian Glover who played General Veers. British guys always play the best villains!

Didn't actually know this, but very cool to hear.

isn't there a bit of cross over between costumes/ set props etc? I'm sure I read somewhere that bossk suit is ex- space 1999 or something like that ....

Don't know about Space 1999, but Bossk's flight suit was first seen in "The First Men in the Moon" (1964 movie) and did show up in a Doctor Who episode. Not sure, to be honest, if it was an actual recycled prop in each instance, or if they just used the same actual flight pressure suit.

Dave Prowse did, apparently "appear" in a Space 1999 episode too, under a heavy duty costume.

Ha, I just looked a little further, and it turns out that the actor who played Bossk was in Space 1999 prior to ESB. http://starwarsinterviews1.blogspot.co. ... -wars.html

nice research!

This Sunday's episode features Peter Cushing...
