In 1978 ITC decided that Space: 1999 could be launched into cinema and television markets as a film compiled from television episodes. The logical choice of episodes were the two parts of \"Bringers Of Wonder\", which were to become Destination Moonbase Alpha. Supervised by David Withers at ITC in Pinewood, this was released in late 1978. It was sold as a package of ITC films, including Capricorn One and Boys From Brazil. It first appeared on American television in September 1979, and was released onto home video in Britain in September 1980.
