In this initial adventure, on Moonbase Alpha -- which monitors lunar storage sites for atomic wastes shuttled from Earth -- Commander Koenig and Dr. Russell oversee an eleventh-hour attempt to avert a chain reaction of thermonuclear explosions that eventually blasts the moon out of Earth's orbit and sends it hurling into space, as the mysterious planet Meta approaches Earth. On the barren sphere, the three hundred and eleven men and women of Moonbase Alpha, a self-sustaining scientific installation, survive.
MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH
The discovery of Dr. Russell's husband, lost in space years earlier, nearly leads to disaster when the Alphans realise he is composed of anti-matter, and that living on his planet would mean violent death for humans.
RING AROUND THE MOON
An alien spaceship locks Alpha into an orbit and proceeds to steal classified data from its computer banks. The Alphans must destroy a mission from a dead planet that is absorbing Moonbase information and destroying personnel as part of a plan to attack Earth.
THE BLACK SUN
Commander Koenig must bank all hope for survival on Professor Bergman's plan to create a new force field when the Moonbase is drawn into a deadly "black sun", a space phenomenon that even devours light.

We're really going old school here! This great old Brit sci fi TV series ran from 1975-77, and followed the adventures of a group based on the moon that has been blasted out of orbit by a massive nuclear explosion. It was produced bySylvia and Gerry Anderson, who also produced the puppet sci fi shows "Captain Scarlet", "Stingray", "Joe 90" and "Thunderbirds". It stars Martin Landau as Commander John Koenig & Barbara Bain as Dr Helena Russell. Great, retro TV...
