    Review KYTV

    A comedy sketch show, with a pilot in'89 and three series from 90-93. Lampooning the early years of satellite tv, particularly Sky Tv. Angus Dayton and Geoffrey Perkins were the stars of this funny show. Each episode highlighted the inept satellite tv station KYTV attempts to do a themed...

    Review Public Eye (1965)

    I'm a third of the way through the DVD box set of this, 51 episodes survive of this series available in one large set with booklet. It's remarkably good, Alfred Burke is perfect as the downbeat private eye, dealing with the mostly lower end of the scale cases. No glamour for him, but divorce...

    Review Hazell (1978)

    The seventies saw a plethora of police/detective shows on British tv, also the private dick series were popular. Budgie with Adam Faith was one such series also this gem with Nicholas Ball as tough guy Hazell, a private eye doing the rough jobs for a detective agency. Recommended

    Review Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (1979)

    Okay, someone had to bring this up. Even on the back of the DVD box set the piss is taken out of it " The classic Sci fi action series burned in the memory of all who have witnessed its greatness" I never saw it before about six months ago and am gingerly working through it, ten episodes done so...

    Review Orbit: Episode 50

    Wow!! A bad episode I think Egrorian and Pinder were another fine Holmes double act. Avon trying to kill Vila is legendary and ends with, "you know you are safe with me" Class.

    Review WHO PAYS THE FERRYMAN (1977)

    For Blakes7 fans, Gareth Thomas appears in episode 4 . It can be enjoyed as a stand alone story. The underlying arc of a vendetta against Alan Haldane (Jack Hedley) is still there, a vendetta due to him impregnating an unmarried girl during the war. The Matriarch of the family leading the...

    Review Where No Man Has Gone Before (1966)

    This second attempt at a pilot wasn't great either. The Mantrap is usually listed as the first episode with this as three or four. I've always been uneasy with Sci fi heroes or villains conjuring things out of thin air as Mitchell does at the end. The beginnings of the series we love is here...

    Review The Cage (1966)

    I've got to say I agree that the powers that be were right to ditch this. Spock isn't the great character we know him to be. I rarely indeed watch this, The two parter, The Menagerie is how the events on Talos IV are best remembered.

    Review STAR COPS: LITTLE GREEN MEN AND OTHER MARTIANS - Episode 09

    First thing to say is that the political byplay between Larwood andKenzy was meant to be Larwood and Theroux, but Erik Ray Evans non-appearance due to illness meant a change to the script. This is a clever and quite complex story that I didn't fully get first time round. The duplicity of...

    Review STAR COPS: OTHER PEOPLE'S SECRETS - Episode 08

    Due to ill health this was Erik Ray Evans last outing as Theroux, and possibly the best episode for the character. The banter with Hooper was entertaining. Nice to see Catweazle in this sans long hair and whiskers. Woolfheart's motivation for the sabotage is interesting, the underlying...

    Review STAR COPS: DEATH ON THE MOON - Episode Cancelled!

    The story outline doesn't look very appealing to be honest. If one had to go then we're probably lucky it was this one. One for Big Finish perhaps.
