Space 1999 Catacombs Year 1 Alternative Titles Images

Some early prints of Matter of Life And Death featured an alternative title and end credit sequence. These were very different to the final titles.

	The alternate and final titles start identically, with only the font different. The original font is the angular Braggadocio, with surnames in capitals (similar to Futura Black, used for the This Episode caption). The final titles are (probably) Futura Heavy, mixed case.

	The familiar sloping titles are completely different in the original, in the Futura Black typeface. There is a much higher view of Moonbase Alpha, and a different planet, streaked with clouds, rather than the blue planet. The planet will eventually appear in Year 2 as Tora from The Seance Spectre.
	The falling Eagle is identical.


	The "This Episode" clips are identical. The caption is on a black background (like Breakaway), but is the same mixed case as the other episodes (Breakaway was lower-case).
	Barry Morse credit is identical apart from font.
	Sylvia Anderson credit uses a different picture (a shot from Matter Of Life And Death).
	Gerry Anderson credit is identical apart from font.
