- QuizBarry 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.
- BlooperWhenever 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.
- Citazioni
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.
- Curiosità sui creditiDuring 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.
- Versioni alternativeA number of syndicated and video-released TV movies were created by editing together assorted episodes. These are: Attacco alieno (1976), _Destination Moonbase Alpha (1976) (TV)_,Oltre lo spazio tempo (1982) and Cosmic Princess (1982).

Martin Landau, Barbara Bain, Barry Morse, great music cues, eagle miniature effects, disaster plot lines, The Beta Cloud, more great music cues...this series is a knockout!
Here are some series highlights...
EPISODE ONE: BREAKAWAY: Shades of Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979) with a new commander taking over things, shades of a disaster movie, shades of Lost In Space (1965), but best of all - that Barry Gray score!
EPISODE TWO: MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH: This episode has a highly touching scene where the music steals the scene. Barbara Bain glares out of a moonbase window at a distant planet, the commander walks up to her, note the music playing here...a simply outstanding work of art!
BLACK SUN: Very memorable work of art. It resembles 2001 in general presentation. I have made an estimated 100 viewings of this hour. Knockout acting from Barry Morse, Landau and Bain.
COLLISION COURSE: This plays like a disaster movie and for that reason it is well worth a look. Some great moments here.
WAR GAMES: Great battle scenes in space filmed with great music playing over it.
SPACE BRAIN: Someone let the washing machine go for too long and this also happened in Land of the Giants episode Brainwash. Great music and disaster...again!
YEAR TWO OPENER: THE METAMORPH: What a start! What a teaser! I was at the edge of my seat in the 1970s!
THE MARK OF ARCHANON: Attention Australian fans! Alan Carter lets out a few Aussie terms and ideas that make this one a Down Under treat!
SEEDS OF DESTRUCTION: Landau goes nuts, which bring back memories of 1960s Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea when the leads would also go nuts.
THE BETA CLOUD: This episode is reviewed by me in detail on this site...the second best episode of the whole series!
SPACE WARP: Great space warp start, great monster, great eagle action.
THE BRINGERS OF WONDER: Two-parter. Out-of-control Landau in out-of-control eagle.
THE SEANCE SPECTRE: Dust planet eagle effects coated with action music.
DORZAK: "Is being Australian important?" asks an alien. "It is to me" responds Alan Carter.
Another outstanding 1970s science fiction TV series was Filmation's Ark II.
