Breakaway (Season 1, 01/24)
Space: 1999 is a British science-fiction television programme that ran for two series from 1975 to 1977. It was the last production by the partnership of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson, who divorced in 1980, and was the most expensive series produced for British television up to that time.
In 1999, Moonbase Alpha, nestled in the Lunar crater Plato, is a scientific research colony and watchdog over silos of atomic waste from Earth stored on the Moon’s far side. On September 13, 1999, magnetic energy builds to cause an explosive chain-reaction of the waste, blasting the Moon out of Earth’s orbit and off the plane of the ecliptic, out of the Solar System. The inhabitants of Moonbase Alpha are unable to return to Earth and must survive on their wandering Moon as it is displaced further into unknown space by freak space warps.

The Good Ones Are All Dead (Series 1, 01/07)
Callan is a British action-drama television series created by James Mitchell, first airing between 1967 and 1972. It starred Edward Woodward as David Callan, an agent of a state secret service dealing with internal security threats to the United Kingdom. Though portrayed as having responsibilities similar to those of the real-life MI5, Callan’s fictional “Section” has carte blanche to use the most ruthless of methods. In the storylines interrogation is by means of torture, while extrajudicial killings are so routine they have a colour-coded filing system.
Callan is recalled from forced retirement, but this time to keep an eye on former SS officer Strauss (Powys Thomas), who is posing as a Greek Cypriot businessman named Stavros. Having secured a position as his bookkeeper, Callan is ordered to keep Strauss alive until he is handed over to the Israelis, and find conclusive evidence of the man’s true identity.

Their relationship is placed under a strain with the arrival of Kay’s formerly institutionalized sister Dawn – nicknamed Sweetie – and Sweetie’s current boyfriend, Bob, who Sweetie believes will help her get into show business.
