Should have got an extra point for wearing the Space 1999 outfit.
She gets two extra points from me . . .
One for wearing s1999 outfit. Second point for it being season one 😉
She just blasted me out of Earth orbit.
And a pilot 😎👍of an eagle 😎😎😎
and 5 for unzipping it (its only the sleeve you filthy beasts)
A Space:1999 fan who shows up in uniform and she got more answers right than me? I'm in love...
LOL! I was thinking all along... A woman after my heart.
Then I read your comment.
👍
I can remember when 1999 seemed like the distant future, now it's the distant past.
Perhaps it is the near future now. Elon Musk just announced plans for Moonbase Alpha!
@@fig7047 I assume his MB will be ready at the same time his version of their tubes, which i called hyperloop, is ready. lol
I had no idea she was a huge fan of Space 1999. I wish her a long and happy life!
Well, contrary to popular opinion, the show Space 1999 only lasted two contentious seasons. They kept firing actors to stay under budget until they finally had to shut it all down. Martin Landau, who played Captain Keller on the show, once said the show was doomed from the beginning. And he was right.
I would expect no less from a fellow Alphan! Well done Samira.
Samira is my age, and she wears that costume top quite well . . . and I can forgive her for not knowing "John Hancock" since she's British, but mad respect for knowing the Space: 1999 trivia COLD.
I dare say she could have answered four times as many if the question lead-in's had not been so long.
love her outfit, I have a 2nd season costume
Samira’s 1st question was ridiculously long. And she looked awesome in that uniform! 🥵
I was 8 and I also felt like I was seeing how my life might be as an adult. Now I spend my days looking at computer screens. I guess it came true.
She knows her stuff.
She's amazing!
Absolutely amazing!!!
What an absolute sweetheart, and not just a pretty face either!
Loved 1999 the lady knows her 1999
hot as hell and loves space 1999
Only 6 for me! Oh dear, I'll have to watch the series another 50 times then. :)
Well done Samira xxxx
Well done 10 of the 10. Good for her 🙂🙂🏴🛸🛸🛸🚀. I also loved space 1999.
She’s amazing. And a great subject to choose.
The 'thinking man's crumpet' of the modern era
And there's your new presenter!
Samira Ahmed can be seen just before 8.00 every Saturday morning on BBC News where she presents Newswatch. Not only is she an expert on Gerry Anderson but The Beatles too.
She is a super fan.
Well done Samira!
Do love a Sci Fi nerd, just like me.
Great score and outfit !
I'm 52 I was 7 in 1975 when I watched space 1999
Me too, but i can't believe Samira is the same age. She's ageing a lot better than i am.
I was 17 when the series premiered.
Making series one uniform look good isn't easy but she does, easily. Extra points for that
nicely stacked!
I was waiting for that timpani roll when she stepped up.
Asking the questions took up 90 percent of the 90 seconds time limit! lol!
OH LOVELY
Obviously, they tried to annoy her by the question about season 2.
Season 2 is the superior show come at me
@@mobius273 I didn't hate Season 2; I enjoyed the well-plotted episodes. However, some people, including Martin Landau, were disappointed, as he mentioned in his interview. 😉
@00ta lmao this is my randomly generated character martin rando
Champion of Champions ✨
Stylish Educated 1 of a kind ✨
Could they have made those questions any longer. Especially the Chris Lee one.
Chris Lee is not actually related to Stan Lee. They just have the same last name.
Samira you cained those other contestants, I particularly liked your choice of charity. Children can be so cruel at school especially if you had a stammer.
Orange sleeve. Reconnaissance Section. She's an Eagle pilot, possibly even a Mk. IX Hawk pilot.
it's a yellow sleeve, service section. Includes data analysis, food/clothing services, hydroponics, and and some science sections.
It's an aqua velva sleeve, which means she is part of the nuclear reactor division and her badge shows she works in the primary coolant area.
The length of the questions hold people back on score..
Samera ❤ AMAZING
Fantastic!
Yeah, could you not get any hotter.
Excellence.
Samira really is one of us. 👨🚀🚀
Well done
I got 7 points - but it was a shame he spent to so much time reading some of the questions on Space 1999 subject - lost some important seconds there.
The questions were way too long - could have shortened them easily.
@@werdna9006 That's just a quirk of the show. Contestants aren't allowed to interrupt either.
Top girl!
Initial reaction to question 1: Why was it so long winded? All he had to ask was "On what date was the moon blasted out of Earth's orbit?"
I could have answered that one. It was January 11th, 2054.
Good sci fi series.
She's wearing the Alan Carter pilot colour, isn't she?
Yes, orange for Reconnaissance Section.
She really can do no wrong.
Only season 1 of Space 1999 was good. Season 2 was monster of the week nonsense
well done Samira for helping a charity for stammering children. I myself have a Stammer. I just wish you'd picked a specialist topic I could say. 1999 ? did you have a bit of a giggle about that afterwards ?
Its 13 September 1999. It never says "Monday". So there!
She gets a bonus point then for knowing the 13th of September 1999 was a Monday then :)
Yea man :)@@paulsnell534
I went back and checked 9/13/1999 is a Saturday!
The Moon was blasted out of Earth's orbit at 20:15 LUNAR TIME, September 13th 1999.
However, in 1999, there was no International standard for Lunar Time. So depending on the relevant Earth Time Zone, it could have been Sunday 12th September, Monday 13th September or Tuesday 14th September.
Neil Armstrong set foot on the Moon at 02:56GMT MONDAY 21st July 1969.
Here in Australia we watched him jump of the LM-5 (Eagle) at 12:56 AEST MONDAY 21st July 1969.
However, in North America it was still SUNDAY 20th July 1969 when Neil took that historic one small step for [a] man ...
Wow
crush
The perfect woman doesn't exist...
In this episode...
Upgrade to a dark blue sleeve.
frank skinner posse check in here
DraGonS Domain
fuck I totally nailed that as well!!!
Unlimited supply of Eagle Ones on Space 1999, bit like Rishy Washy's magic money furlough tree.
Name the actor who played Raan in the episode "Missing Link."
PETER CUSHING!!!
Name the actor who played Astronaut Parks in "Matter of Life and Death."
And I thought the chick that turned up for jury duty for the OJ Simpson trial in a Next Generation Starfleet uniform was crazy!
