"The Musk Who Fell To Earth" is the twelfth episode of season 26. Bowie recalled in 1992 that "we got on rather well. Newton is still rich and young-looking despite the passage of many years. Eventually Newton discovers that his "prison", now derelict, is unlocked, and he leaves. Thomas Jerome Newton is a humanoid alien who comes to Earth from a distant planet on a mission to take water back to his home planet, which is experiencing a catastrophic drought. Mary-Lou introduces Newton to many customs of Earth, including church-going, alcohol, and sex. He quickly becomes familiar with the environment and forms a plan. [15], Candy Clark, Bowie's co-star remembers things differently: "David vowed to Nic, 'No drug use'," says Clark and he was a man of his word, "clear as a bell, focused, friendly and professional and leading the team. Unable to return home, a broken and alcoholic Newton creates a recording with alien messages, which he hopes will be broadcast via radio to his home planet. He’s gorgeous, angelic, heavenly.

Since its original 1976 release, The Man Who Fell to Earth has achieved cult status. Njegov protagonist je humanoidni vanzemaljac sa tehnološki naprednog, ali katastrofalnom sušom pogođenog planeta Anthea, koji dolazi na Zemlju kako bi odatle pokušao pomoći svojim sunarodnjacima da izbjegnu izumiranje. The film obtained a small release in the United States through Cinema V in exchange for $850,000 and due to foreign sales the film's budget was just recouped.

[4] The film maintains a strong cult following for its use of surreal imagery and the performance by David Bowie (in his first starring film role) as the alien Thomas Jerome Newton; the film also stars Candy Clark, Buck Henry, and Hollywood veteran Rip Torn. [35] Joshua Rothkopf of Time Out believed that the cult classic status, which he described as a "vaguely demeaning term", does the film a disservice. It wasn't that far off.

Mary-Lou declares that she no longer loves him, while he says that he doesn't love her either. He does not return these feelings, but takes her and his curious fuel-technician Nathan Bryce as his friends, while he runs his company in the shadows. The novel served as the basis for the 1976 film by Nicolas Roeg as well as a 1987 television adaptation and an upcoming television series. Anthea is experiencing a terrible drought after many nuclear wars, and the population has dwindled to fewer than 300. Arriving at Earth in a lifeboat, Newton first lands in the state of Kentucky.
