ITC Press Release

"SPACE 1999" (Series II) Episode Three: "JOURNEY TO WHERE." Original ITC press release. SYNOPSIS The promise of a return to Earth - but the space-wandering Alphans find themselves lost in the midst of time. ___________ A voice comes through from Earth. With it, the hope of return to their own planet at last for the occupants of the runaway Moon and the end of their long journey through space. A handful of survivors have built up a new civilization. The message comes by neutrone transmission from Dr. Charles Logan (FREDDIE JONES) of space Station One, Texas City, with the promise to Cmdr. John Koenig (MARTIN LANDAU) that the Alphans can be brought home if instructions can be followed to build a transference dome. But is a voice from the future. Although the moon has been in outer space for only a matter of months, in Earth terms this represents decades. It is still 1999 on the moon - but 2120 AS on Earth. For space scientist Dr. Logan and his assistant Carla (ISLA BLAIR), it is an exciting prospect. There are hazards, however. Because of an impending galactic eclipse, time is short before the communication channel is cut. Worse still, when the transference dome is completed, calculations are affected through an earthquake in the Gulf of Mexico. Only three are on the fist flight: Koenig, Dr. Helena Russell (BARBARA BAIN) and Alan Carter (NICK TATE). Instead of arriving in Texas, they find themselves in a vegetated area, landing in bushes. The atmosphere is cloudy and cold. After the germ-free environment of Alpha, they are soon affected. Helena immediately goes down with a high temperature that develops into pneumonia. Realization that they have landed in Scotland comes with the appearance of kilted scottish warriors who promptly take them prisoner. Then, fantastically, they discover that they have plunged through a time warp, travelling back into the past. The year is 1339. And they are in the midst of the bitter conflict between Scotland and England. Although Helena cures her pneumonia with a fungus found growing on the dungeon wall, the Scots chief, Macdonald (ROGER BIZLEY), assumes that they are English and jumps to the conclusion that they are bringing the plague to Scotland. His prisoners must be burned to death. Meanwhile, desperate efforts to trace them are being made from Moonbase Alpha and the Texas Space Station. To save them, the mists of time must be pierced...... __________ NB. All spelling and punctuation as in the original.
