There are some great things in the original series that I loved and I think they make it unique.
1) One of the first Cinema series to use huge amounts of special effects. Remember that this was a loooonnnggg time ago and some of their work was ground breaking!

2) The ships they all fly about in make the best noise for a spaceship I have ever heard
3) Each episode ends on a fantastic cliff hanger - Usually with a girl screaming!
4) It is incredibly sexist! It really shows ideals of a bygone era!
The weapons were amazing...much better than the safe platic looking phaser from the next generation of Star Trek.
The DVD collection comes in a brightly packaged box and ion an array of colours. They look great out of the box though and would recommend them on display. Even if people don't like Sci-Fi they often remember these being screened on a saturday lunchtime on BBC2!
