We were sad to hear this week of the August 5th passing of actor Stanley McGeagh, who played a SHADO security guard in the UFO episodes E.S.P. and Mindbender. His other notable screen appearances included two Jon Pertwee Doctor Who stories (Colony in Space and The Sea Devils), plus episodes of Dad's Army, Callan, Minder and The Onedin Line to name a few. You can learn more about his life and career in this tribute article.

This week's free episode of Space Precinct is the first part of the two-part series finale Deathwatch - airing on our YouTube channel at 6pm UK time this evening!

On August 12th we remembered the 1929 birthdate of Fireball XL5 voice artist John Bluthal, while popular Anderson episodes to receive their UK television premieres this week in decades past include Four Feather Falls' Land Grabbers (August 11th 1960), The Protectors episodes It Was All Over in Leipzig (August 11th 1972) and Implicado (August 11th 1973), Space:1999's The Bringers of Wonder part 2 (August 11th 1977), and Space Precinct's Divided We Stand (August 12th 1995).
