    While Space: 1999 was a British series, the UK market was not as large or as important to its financial success (or failure) as the US market was. Also, ironically, its country of origin was virtually the only other one apart from the US where it was not networked. Although it was transmitted on ITV, one of the two major channels, it suffered badly by being scheduled differently and in undesirable and constantly changing time slots – sometimes early Saturday morning, or late at night – in the different ITV regions, such as ATV (Midlands), LWT (London), Yorkshire (North East), Granada (North West), Anglia (South East) and HTV (Wales and West Country).
