    Indo-european myths of northwestern Europe, according to this Tolkien biography I have. CCoffee said it was right aswell, so I think that it's a consensus.

    Re: question 16:

    The Moon WAS NOT "blown to bits" in Space: 1999! It was blown out of its orbit, out of the Solar System (and ultimately, out of the Galaxy as well!) but it remained in one piece, as did the 300-person Alpha Moonbase on which the series was set!

    I said that pieces went flying everywhere, not blown to bits.
