Hi Mikeb

I watched the Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea episode The Deadly Dolls from season 4 which was pretty bizarre but fun at the same time. The always wonderful Vincent Price guest starred.

Watched the Starlost - it suffered badly from budget costs which show.

The espisode I watched had John Colicos and Barry Morse 2 great actors.

Yes because the first example has sci-fi elements also this thread is about cult stuff as well that doesn't quite fit sci-fi eg. The Avengers.

UK channel 5 has no other name. It is the fifth terrestrial channel.
It is a joint co-operation funded by C4, the BBC and Sky, although none will admit it. It carries advertising as well.

Yes Mike I have to say Irwin Allen has some great ideas and puts them to screen like Lost in space and of course Voyage which deteriote in the quality of the scripts having started very strongly.

Have to say though the Puppet story was saved from being a total turkey by the great Vincent Price who could make anything look good.

yes well actor spotting is my hobby with it... last night was the last one...they got to playing with time travel in the usual 'no chance' way but the evil one was a well known entertaining actor so that saved the day.

The first/second series were more cold war espionage and other military like plots... but a bit less LSD driven ...more straight up intravenous caffeine. :D

Well its muppet show time... and yer mate vincent pops up in there.
Never knew arlo guthrie was in one till I saw it recently...

There was a muppets in space movie...does that count as scifi???

All part of the childs education of course...

Ah the golden age of Space Opera.
Blakes 7
Space 1999

I don't actually remember Starmaidens. Perhaps it never took off in the UK.

Not really Sci-Fi but a surreal entertainment, "The Avengers" - No, not the American comic version - the British one. Anyone in the UK can catch the 1960's black and white TV series on 'True Entertainment' (Channel 61) weekdays at 8.00 PM. Directly after M.A.S.H - yet another brilliant and very witty series from the early 1970's; which ran eleven years!

I mark the Moppet Show lead to the demise of the America Family. As a child the new Muppet Show episodes would play at supper time. So my parents moved a tiny TV to fit in the dinning room to watch it while we ate.
Once I looked around and noticed we did not look or communicate with each other during the Muppet Show, then the commercial break was over and I turned to warch it like everyone else. Fast forward to today, family time everyone including the toddler has a mobile device and actually text each other while in the same room!!!
