Barry Morse
Oh no…another icon from my childhood has passed on. This time it is British actor, Barry Morse who flew off on 2 February 2008 aged 89, and was most famous to us folks of a certain age as professor Victor Bergman from cult sci-fi series “Space 1999”. Of course, he’s appeared in loads of other TV series and films such as “The Fugitive”, “The Twilight Zone” and most importantly, “The Littlest Hobo”. Of course, another cult show that he appeared in was “Whoops Apocalypse” which had him playing the American president and was another show that I wangled my way to watch on Sunday nights when I stayed over at my grandparents’ place.
Anyway, here’s the rousing opening titles of “Space 1999” as a tribute and I think you’ll agree this is the funkiest sci-fi theme…ever!
