Trivia
Barry Morse (Professor Victor Bergman) made attempts to rejoin the series while pre-production for season two was underway, but incoming producer Fred Freiberger was against him returning, preferring a younger cast. An explanation of his absence was included in the episode The Metamorph (1976), but ended up being edited out of the finished cut. Dialogue indicated he had been killed due to a faulty spacesuit.

Goofs
Whenever anyone uses a commlock, a communications column in a hallway, or a comm terminal in a room they never set a channel for the call they make; they simply activate the device and it automatically connects to whomever the caller is looking to speak to.

Quotes
Prof. Victor Bergman: [last message before evacuating Alpha] We are Mankind. We came from planet Earth, and we built this base, called Alpha, to learn more about space. But human error blasted this Moon out of the Earth's orbit. And so, we have traveled the Universe searching for a place to live. Now, we can no longer live here, and we go to face an uncertain future on the planet that has nearly destroyed us. You, whoever you are, who find this empty vessel of Alpha, come and seek us out, if we still exist. Come and teach us all you know. Because, we have learned many things, but most of all, we have learned we still have much to learn.

Crazy credits
During the first season, excerpts for each week's episode were incorporated into the opening credits, more specifically the "This Episode" section, which was something of a Gerry Anderson trademark.

Alternate versions
A number of syndicated and video-released TV movies were created by editing together assorted episodes. These are: Alien Attack (1976), _Destination Moonbase Alpha (1976) (TV)_,Journey Through the Black Sun (1982) and Cosmic Princess (1982).

Connections
Edited into Alien Attack (1976)

I saw the show when I was a teenager and loved it instantly. And I still do, as I observed when I saw it again more than 20 years later. Sure, the environment and the tricks are looking a little cheap today, so what. Every show is aging. There isn't much action as in Star Trek, which at one point only seemed to discover planets with beautiful but strange women. Much of the action is between the characters, how to deal with fear,their situation and the loneliness... Love it or hate it, the show had something special. Till today I saved a huge crush on Martin Landau as an actor, I watch everything, even his weakest movies. And I saved a huge crush on Captain Alan Carter as a character of the show, I'd love to be an Eagle-Pilot! Forget that it's a 70s show and enjoy it.
