Christopher Lee in Space: 1999 (1975) Earthbound
S1E14
Five survivors of a doomed planet crash on the Moon, and appeal to the Alphans for help continuing on their voyager. Since they were heading to Earth in stasis, Commissioner Simmonds sees a way to get home... and will do anything to make sure he has the opportunity.
*Christopher Lee wasn't impressed by the script but agreed to do it anyway as his then 12-year-old daughter had been a fan of Gerry Anderson's earlier children's shows. Anderson was also aware that Lee and Peter Cushing were great friends and asked Lee if he thought Cushing might also be interested in appearing in an episode. Lee rang Cushing shortly afterwards and Cushing agreed, appearing in Missing Link (1976).
