[edit] Notes
- The Intergalactic Song Contest is a parody of the Eurovision Song Contest while Commentator Logan (who speaks with an Irish accent) is based upon and named after Terry Wogan, who has provided the commentary for the Eurovision on BBC One every year since 1980. Like Wogan, he is known for his sardonic wit and frequently mentions his wife during broadcasts.
- Professor Fassbinder and Dr Harcourt are parodies of Victor Bergman and Helena Russell in Space: 1999 (Fassbinder and Bergman are both the names of cinema pioneers). The station name Dark Space Eight is a parody of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
