The Andromeda Breakthrough

The Andromeda Breakthrough is a 1962 British television miniseries, a sequel to the popular BBC TV science fiction serial A for Andromeda, again written by Fred Hoyle and John Elliot. Julie Christie, who played Christine in the prior serial, was unavailable, so she was recast with Susan Hampshire.

Kidnapped by Intel representative Kaufman, John Fleming—along with Professor Madeleine Dawnay and Andromeda, the artificially constructed female humanoid—are brought to Azaran, a small Middle Eastern country. Upon arrival, the group discover a duplicate of Fleming's machine has been built by Intel. After many dangers, Fleming finds both the reason for the original message having been sent and the means to bring the machine under human control.
