Product Description
Jupiter Moon
The Plasma Ball
Vol. 2 - Episodes 12 - 20
"It's crazy. I know... but can it be alive?"
The Spaceship Ilea is paralysed, captured within a cloud of matter that seems able to think, and to foil all the ship's efforts to espace.
Now the ship's H2 extractor plant can supply oxygen for only a few more days, and the magnetic shield is giving way.
While the students and crew work desperately to create a defence, space-criminal Alex Hartmann (played by Jason Durr) makes a tempting offer to navigator-cadet Mercedes Page (played by Anna Chancellor).
It is possible that two people could escape the stricken ship in the command module?
Taking water, and oxygen, and leaving everyone else to die.
Jupiter Moon is about the perils of life on the very frontier of human existence.
It is about the loves, passions, and ambitions of young people growing up in an alien and dangerous environment, many million miles away from Earth...

Jupiter Moon is a soap opera set in space, so if you were expecting anything like Babylon 5 you WOULD be disappointed at the soap elements.
However, Jupiter Moon is a well acted and interesting serial. The young and relatively unknown cast play their parts well, and there is a certain addictive quality that keeps you coming back for more.
Although (like every other soap opera) the show deals with relationships, there is always the bonus of the unfolding space drama. Something is fast approaching Jupiter system, and within a few episodes the occupants of the spaceship ILEA find themselves cut off from the outside world. As the show progresses, they find themselves in an ever-worsening situation which leads to high drama and some edge-of-the-seat moments.
If you've never seen the show, I highly recommend you give it a try - you'll be pleasantly surprised!

This is not a DVD to sit down and watch from beginning to end. The "soap" elements of the show slow down the sci-fi plot so that it becomes tedious to watch all in one go. If though u watch it as you would on TV one episode at a time when you have a spare 25 minutes to fill..it`s great. One word of warning if you buy the first DVD you`ll want the rest and with a 150 episodes it going to be quite an investment.

A rather unfortunate nickname acquired by 'Jupiter Moon' in spite of the£6 million pound budget back in 1990 when it was the exclusive sciencefiction/soap opera of the ill-fated BSB satellite system. 'Jupiter Moon'was perfect for their space age television and concerned the story of thecrew and students aboard Christopher Columbus College in orbit aroundCalypso. Stories veered from typical soap opera fare to harder sciencefiction scenarios such as a '2001' style 'computer goes mad' plot, a heistby a gang of space pirates and a planned mission beyond the solar system.Best of all was its view of the future and the chance to see the likes ofAnna Chancellor and Lucy Benjamin in early roles. Designed with theatricalflair and written in consultation with British Aerospace (to keep it asfactual as possible) this remains a throughly enjoyable series for anyonewho likes their soap opera a little camp and out there!

Should Be A Cult Series
I have been wondering how to rate this series for some time since buying it and watching it. One part of me says I should be honest about its failings and give it three stars or... Read more

This show is painful at times, get past Vol 1 and your hooked and must keep on watching.
It's a childish, cheap teen space soap, but somehow it keep you wanting more. Read more
