Signed by Barbara Bain, with annotations by Martin Landau
An extraordinary artifact from the birth of Space: 1999. This is one of the earliest known scripts of The Void Ahead (which would later become Breakaway) featuring Barbara Bain’s signature and handwritten annotations by Martin Landau. The notes capture the creative dialogue between Landau and Bain, revealing how they reshaped early drafts before finalizing their contracts with the series.
This version offers a rare glimpse into the formative stage of the show—where lines were tested, adjusted, and refined by its leading actors. Few items provide such direct insight into the collaborative process that shaped the tone and performances of the groundbreaking 1975 science fiction series.
A major piece of sci-fi television history, this script embodies the partnership of Space: 1999’s iconic stars and the evolution of the show that continues to inspire fans fifty years later.
