Space: 1999 - Dragon's Domain

BAFTA winner Mark Bonnar heads up the cast of Space: 1999 Dragon’s Domain, a brand-new box set of audio dramas based on the 1970s ITV sci-fi series, out now from Big Finish Productions.

Commander Koenig (Mark Bonnar) leads the crew of Moonbase Alpha, torn from the safety of Earth’s orbit and flung into the unknown depths of space.

Now he and Dr Helena Russell (Maria Teresa Creasey), Professor Victor Bergman (Clive Hayward), pilot Alan Carter (Glen McCready), scientist Sandra Benes (Susan Hingley) and computer expert Dashka Kano (Amaka Okafor) must survive new dangers if they have any chance of returning home.


As the people of Moonbase Alpha continue their odyssey through space on their wandering Moon, the longterm influences of their recent alien encounters start to impact upon their course. But first, an infinity of possibilities opens up for them, with terrifying consequences.

The three new full-cast audio adventures based on Gerry and Sylvia Anderson’s classic television series are:

Skull in the Sky by Marc Platt

There’s a deluge upon the Moon that will change everything forever. The Alphans must adapt and relationships will change. Then, above them, a portent of doom arrives.

The Godhead Interrogative by Nicholas Briggs

Dashka Kano has been working on translating the alien script on Zantor’s artefact. She’s beginning to make progress when one hundred objects are detected, advancing towards the Moon. Dashka’s skills will be tested to the limit by the force of an ancient civilisation.

Dragon’s Domain by Nicholas Briggs

Dr Helena Russell relates a tale of hope, terror and tragedy. The Alphans discover a potential means to enact the will of their referendum and return to Earth. But the Ultra mission will be a journey into unimaginable horror.

Actor Mark Bonnar said: “I love doing audio work. I think the medium allows you to do anything you want. That’s the beauty of it and especially for science fiction.

"With the wonderful soundscape that Big Finish always produces you can find yourself wholly transported. I think in some ways, it’s the best medium.”

Executive producer and director Nicholas Briggs added: “In terms of story, I wanted us to find ever more exciting things for the Alpha team and I wanted to continue to make Space: 1999 a very character-based series.

“We’re very much creating something that has to be listened to in order.”

The TV episode "Dragon's Domain" terrified me as child. And still gives me the creeps as an adult.

Loving the nod to the green Dinky Eagle ☺️

This episode was nightmare fuel for weeks for me when I first saw it. It’s one of my favorite episodes. ;). Anton Zoref creeped me out after the kill laser shot. Space 1999 had some good old fashioned scary stories. Watched it at my Grandma’s house on Sundays. Good times.

This was the only episode that freaked me out at the time it was one of the best stories of the series

[petercampbell]

Remember, this first aired back in 1975 at around 7pm tv! 😳 - Scared the living b’jesus watching it - Still the scariest thing on tv to date! - Still watch the show to this day 👍 (ignore the 2nd season)

You know, I love you guys. But ever since I got the email about this, the theme from "Space 1999" has been stuck in my head, so thanks for that. Still, very happy to see this coming around. This was on my Saturday Morning watchlist growing up.😃

As a kid this episode scared the snott out of me, and gave me nightmares for weeks.

The return of the worlds most terrifying door!

I read somewhere that the prop of that green eyed monster was put outside in the studio lot
And someone related to the space 1999 production would walk his dog 🐕 in the studio outside lot now and then and whenever the dog would pass the monster it would take a piss on it 😅
Ya folks it scared the shit outta me as well when it came out
One of my fav episodes

I don't really understand why Big Finish chose to retell TV episodes instead of creating new adventures, as they did with Doctor Who and Dark Shadows (and I have MANY audios of both of these BF series). And aren't you doing the same thing with UFO? Also, ever consider doing audios of Kolchak The Night Stalker? Would love to hear new Kolchak adventures.

Very tempted to pickup Breakaway in the Space 1999 sale. Sounds like a great SF series.

[davebowman]

Goosebumps! I'm still trying to get over how "Earthbound" finished! No spoilers but... 😮😮😮😮😮

[thoughtsonnarrowboatingwit]

I was only 12 when I saw Dragons Domain… it’s still has strong an episode now has it was then. won’t be listening to this!

[petercampbell]

I truly believe Dragon’s Domain influenced Aliens!!

[BrianSmith-ljug]

A must listen.Dragons Domain was a classic, looking forward to hearing this as soon as I get out of work! 😃

[Adam-bpkw]

These never felt like the show to me. It used the name Space:1999 but changed all the characters and/or their behaviors (Helena being the worst example). The stories were ok, and the production great, but I wanted “Space 1999”.

[adriandoyle]

I've just listened to this cd. One word description only. Fantastic 🎉

[minicle]

The Dragon would make a great Who monster.

[richardbailey]

[fernandes]

Very good. The recreation of the voices is amazing. Maybe you could get even closer using AI.
