Complete Lost In Space

Advantages: Great piece of classic TV history
Disadvantages: Perhaps a little more dated than some?

...desk, all of the entire Lost In Space the complete series on DVD. The bad news is that, as they are only journalist's review copies, I have to send them all back. Within one week… Still, the last time I saw the first episode was when I was knee high to a grasshoppers so it was interesting to see how the series first began, all those years ago. The first episodes were in black and white which lasted for some time until Irwin Allen the producer was ...
...known galaxy to become: "hopelessly lost in space". Several episodes in there was clearly a change in direction. Apparently this was initiated by Jonathon Harris, the actor who played Dr Smith. Dr Smith was changed, slowly, from a totally evil murderous traitor into a craven, bungling coward. Many people believe that this idea saved the show. Jonathon Harris spent night after night burning the midnight oil thinking up the dozens of alliterative ...

SPACE 1999

Advantages: Fun Sci-Fi
Disadvantages: Quite dated

SPACE 1999 = Here we are again with another memorable sci-fi series from Gerry and Sylvia Anderson whose other 'Hits' included Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons, Fireball XL5, Thunderbirds and UFO. Space 1999 was set on the Moon where a Moon base has been built and nuclear waste from the Earth was stored, but things are not well and soon the nuclear waste explodes blowing the moon out of earths orbit and sets it on a course out of the ...
...The Troubled Spirit 20. Space Brain 21. The Infernal Machine 22. Mission Of The Darians 23. Dragon's Domain 24. The Testament Of Arkadia I remember as a kid having a toy ‘Eagle’ and really enjoying each episode. You can get it on DVD or catch the repeats on ITV4, daily. At the time the sets where clever and innovative and the scripts fresh and different. The special effects where not up to much but then it was 1975, oops sorry, 1999. The acting ...

Bugged

Advantages: exciting, explosive, entertaining
Disadvantages: final season a bit of a let down, some dubious science

This series is a high-tech adventure show, with lots of gadgets, excitement and large explosions. At the start of the first series, the audience is introduced to three people Ros Henderson (Jaye Griffiths), Nick Beckett (Jesse Birdsall) and Ed (Craig McLachlan) (his last name isn't revealed.) They team up to form high-tech investigators. Ros is extremely good when it comes to computers and electronics. Ed is a daredevil, a pilot and addicted to risking ...
...has various connections and a lot of experience. The three of them combat a variety of criminals and illegal organisations in highly exciting, and always explosive, plots each episode. The villains are different each episode, with one or two exceptions, but I don't want to spoil the surprise for those who don't know the show that well. This means that the plots are hugely varied apart from the minor detail of the major explosions that are bound to ...

Endgame

Advantages: One of the best Voyager seasons
Disadvantages: Is the LAST of the Voyager seasons

...view, the best of the Star Trek spin-offs since Kirk and Spock blessed us with their rubber rocks and spandex uniforms! Deep Space Nine was too static and The Next Generation although brilliantly acted, lacked the budget in it's effects to truly make it "believable". Not so with Voyager. Mr Roddenbury himself would have been proud of this, the final installment of the series. I had been waiting on this release for ages and when it finally came ...
...this DVD set. Seven of Nine Opens the show with a dangerous dreamworld in Unimatrix Zero, fighting the Borg in the sleeping world aswell as the waking world.....as if a battle with the Borg in one dimension isn't enough!!! The DVDs hurtle through adventure after adventure, Tom Paris taking the Delta Flyer for a joyride, the re-emergence of the Marquis, the birth of a Klingon-Human Hybrid and plenty of other great episodes............I really want ...

Review of Star Trek - Voyager - Series 7 - Complete (DVD)

Tribal

Advantages: entertaining,
Disadvantages: some acting quite bad

The Tribe is a series based on the idea of having a kids show where the main characters are all kids with no adults they can turn to. As such, its very unusual and that gives it a nice perspective. It's a kids show, but aimed at older children or teenagers, but that doesn't stop it spilling out of the age range to let others watch and enjoy it. I saw this when it first came on TV and I was about in the target audience at the time, but I can still ...
...than twenty-two hours, not including the extras. ~~~ The Plot ~~~ The entire adult population has been wiped out by a virus so now the children rule the world. In the chaos, the kids are having to fight for food supplies so various tribes have formed. The city in which the series is set is a war zone between the different tribes, with 'strays', those not in any tribe, easy pickings. Two of the most violent and dangerous of the tribes are the Demon ...
