Caroline Munro in Space?
Speaking of Caroline Munro (as I was in my last post Lovely Ladies And Pleistocene Behemoths: A Visit To The Hollow Earth With Edgar Rice Burroughs)… here’s an amusing bit of trivia regarding Space 1999.
In Season 2, Episode 20, “The Seance Spectre,” some members of the crew go mad due to being away from nature for so long, hurtling through space on Moonbase Alpha. Well, the episode was all about the hallucinations suffered by these people and their drastic actions taken. All of it was resolved, following a lot of action and conflict.
The funny bit was at the very end, the epilogue, if you would, in which Dr. Russell prescribes a method to prevent further hallucinations: The patients have to watch long hours of nature films until it psychologically becomes “boring” to them. At the command center, Tony and Allen were using this same theory in a different manner: They stood there staring at a photo of none other than Caroline Munro!
I’ve tried that for years and it doesn’t work. I still think she’s gorgeous!
Thanks for brightening my day.
Yeah, I mean, in the interest of science I am _also_ prepared to spend all of my time staring at a picture of Caroline Munro.
I have a signed picture of Caroline Munro and Judd Hamilton as Stella Star and Elle from Starcrash on my wall. Of course, I got it for Judd Hamilton – Caroline Munro was just an extra…yeah, right!
