BBC - Conspiracies 'Outer Space'

Under normal circumstances, I would never post something that I did not own unless I fully agree with its content. However, this video seems to have been lost to time, with its internet presence and records near completely wiped. All I could find online was a Wikipedia entry and a brief clip on the BBC's website.

In 2000, the BBC put out a documentary series called "Conspiracies". As the name suggests, it delved into various conspiracy theories. Judging by the episode list, topics included New World Order, aliens, TWA-800, the Oklahoma City Bombing, and satanists. I never saw any of these episodes, but episode 11 was simply titled "Outer Space". I had seen it advertised on SBS and set the VCR to record it.

The episode obviously delved into the Apollo moon landing hoax theory, even featured interviews with Bill Kaysing, Marcus Allan and David Percy. However, it also delved into space conspiracies of the kooky kind. Such as 'UFOs' seen by shuttle astronauts and ancient alien civilizations on the Moon. Confusingly, the narrator even opens the episode asking "Space, did we really ever go there?" even though clearly none of the intervees dispute that we've been in space and the narrator even cites space missions throughout the episode!

Despite including intervees on both sides of the fence of these Moon hoax and alien topics, the episode is presented in such an open-ended narrative that I don't even know what conclusion the producers are attempting to draw. Are they attempting to dispute the conspiracy views discussed in this program or support them?

Still, there are some interesting snippets therein that I thought raise some red flags. For example, they interviewed a former NASA employee named Ken Johnston who claims he found technicians erasing sections of Apollo negatives. Johnston reckons they were hiding evidence of aliens on the Moon. If his story is true, I suspect they were hiding evidence of a hoax. So for historical purposes, here's that BBC program in its entirety.
