This is a follow up to the six part serial entitled "A Is For Andromeda" which is now lost.
Peter Halliday is Dr. Fleming and Susan Hampshire is Andromeda. Both are hunted down by the British government and then later kidnapped by a group called INTEL and taken the foreign country of Azaran, which is in the Middle East.
Yes, this is a bit confusing, especially if you haven't seen the first serial, but all gets made clear after a couple of chapters. It seems INTEL, headed by the evil Mlle. Gamboule (Claude Farell) and Kaufman (John Hollis) are after thew knowledge Fleming has and the other worldly powers of Amdromeda.
They discover that the oxygen levels of the planet are disappearing as well as many other things that might just bring about the end of the world.
As I said, it's all a bit confusing if you've never seen the first one, but eventually as you watch all six chapters of this is becomes very clear. This is very similar to the Quatermass serials that the BBC produced back in the 50's.
It is a rare title and one that I was glad I finally got to see.
