		Prof Bergman's disapearance was never explained in any episode
	but in the book,'THE MAKING OF SPACE 1999',it is said that lines were
	cut out explaining what had happened. His space suit malfunctioned.
		True enough ,the second season was pretty bad at times, but
	the first season is at least watchable.
		UFO was the direct ancestor of 1999 but with better stories
	and not as many scientific 'clangers'. This could have easily gone
	in to another series and its a pity it didn't. Also a final deciding
	episode for both shows would have been great.
		As for the characters, they were never fully developed
	though I thought that SPACE 1999 had a great family feel to it.
