Space 1999 was a ridiculous show but there has never been a better TV show as far as production design does. The sets look cool and appear functional in a way that other shows (even modern star treks) can only aspire to.
Pity about the plots.

The show was ridiculous, but every time I see it mentioned I have to go watch the intro and show's theme music.
Of course it's dated now, but I don't think it's more ridiculous than today's superhero franchises
If you compare to other British 1970s TV SF, like Dr Who, it was a remarkable effort.
FWIW: apparently Sylvia Anderson sincerely thought that wigs were the future.
