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.

...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 ...

Review of Space 1999 - Series 1 Space 1999 (DVD)

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 ...

Review of Bugs - The Complete Collection (Box Set) (DVD)

Homeward Bound.

Advantages: Excellent storyline with good special effects even now.
Disadvantages: Cliched 'lessons' in humanity

Star Trek Voyager is an excellent addition to the star trek universe with a reputation that is well deserved. The characters are superbly constructed and performed by the various actors employed during the series. Prostetics and special effects are second to none and the storyline is so diverse and involved that you will feel part of the story as voyager trys to find its way home through the treacherous 'delta quadrant'. Despite the above however, ...
...is captain janeways insufferable 'humanity' which although liberating and heartwarming in small doses, numbs the mind in large ones. Although this does remove some of the enjoyment of voyager it is greatly outdone by the opinions mentioned previously. So i willingly recommend if you are either a fan of action, sci-fi, drama or horror voyager has something that will appeal to everyone. ...

Review of Star Trek - Voyager - Series 3 - Complete (DVD)

Star Trek Movie Boxet Review

Advantages: Good Quality, Fun
Disadvantages: Alot of Disks

When i first noticed this title in the shops, my first reaction was "Thats too expensive" but then i realised that it was the price for ten films all included in the one set. The films in this set each have their own individual story and are only linked by the setting and characters. Each film in this set is interesting and have many good points and few bad points, on afew of the films the special effects are a bit lacking but this is due to the ...
