What will Moonbase Alpha do without him?!

Funny they don't mention his Space 1999 involvement. I thought he was a very good doctor on that show.

Barbara Bain played the doctor, not Barry Morse!

I would've let her play "doctor" with me...

Ok, he played...the scientist? Wasn't he around Babara Bain all the time?

Geezz...the more I type, the further away I get from Barry Morse!!! Did I even see the show at all, afterall? I do remember Maya...or was she a dream as well?

Maya was only in season 2. Barry Morse played Professor Victor Bergman, who was only in season 1. Essentially Maya replaced Bergman.

Though if you remember watching it when it was first on, CBC ran Season 2 first - in 1976/1977 - playing only the pilot, and jumping to the rest of Season 2 (often before it aired in the UK). And then ran season 1 in 1977/1978.

It's exactly where I watched it. No wonder I'm all confused!!! Thanks nfitz for putting my head back in the right track.

You can rent the entire series from Zip.ca for giggles. I did, it was fun to watch it again after all these years even if the science is out of whack with reality sometimes.

Being a fan of supermarionnation, it was neat to see the Eagle takeoff and land, just like in the Thunderbirds.
