I am going to hold off making a full comment as this is another two part story.

Ghostbusters...

ALIEN 3...

Seems a little better so far but that said we all know what happen in the Dalek two parter, just hope for the best.

Cool, another british si-fy series, that I didn't know. Funny, I first saw Joanna Lumley in Absolutely Fabulous, never thought that her career was so vast.

Didn't see yet, but just found out that the series have a porn spoof film... (previous Doctor time). I wander if the story is better than last season...

I got the whole series on DVD but I see you can watch all six adventures on YouTube.

It lasted two seasons and ended but no fault of its doing, the show got messed around with time slots and ITV went on strike.

Rhodes · 10-03-15, 06:26 PM

^What you think I'm doing? Seeing the 1st Assignment, and reading about the series.
Already saw Blake 7, now going with this one. Another funny thing, our TV network, in terms of science fiction, only broadcast Star Strek and other american series. The only british one was Space 1999. No Doctor Who, Blake 7,etc. But did broadcast britcoms and shows like the Saint and The Avengers.

Rhodes · 10-12-15, 05:44 AM

Not my turn to go first this time.

Rhodes · 10-12-15, 09:30 AM

The Diogenes Club is beginning to affect you!

My take: I liked, the all timey-wimey stuff, plus the paradoxes. The resolving matter is well choose according Doctor Who myth!

Next time: Vikings in Space or Space Vikings!

STEED · 10-13-15, 08:18 AM

Typical predicted ending, you had to been blind stinking drunk for a week not to see that coming.

A fraction better than the Dalek story but not by much. Next one looks bloody awful to me and they usually are to me.

Down to the last 40m. Since series season is beginning, I saw only during Friday night, but I am liking the show so far. The all si-fi/supernatural thing! Plus Joanna Lumley, with a blue see trough dress in some angles/shots(

, ah the 70's)!

And you know, one can think that, that universe is almost the same one of Doctor Who, with the so call "elements" could be Time Lords/ladys CIA agents!

We never truly know who they are and who they work for, what we do know is they move in when the corridor of time is breached by time and other things. Steel complains in one episode we should be there before things happen which Sapphire answers who is going to sit around for years waiting. We know there are two groups operators Investigators move in first and if needed the specialists like Silver are called in. We also know there is another group known as the Transuranics who are a higher power and not keen on the likes of Sapphire and Steel. See Adventure Six for the show down.

The TV series may have ended but Sapphire and Steel made a come back on audio books lasting three seasons and introducing other elements like Gold and Ruby. A mix of classic TV and modern story lines.

Bad news Big Finish no longer sell them.

STEED · 10-14-15, 01:12 PM

Rhodes have you watched The Omega Factor?

10 part series like X-files but without the Aliens, Mind over matter and other odd stories and behind the scenes a secret organization of Omega.

If you like it some good news set 30 years on Big Finish have released four new audio stories starring Louise Jameson who was in the TV series plus Natasha Gerson.

Rhodes · 10-14-15, 01:54 PM

About your first post: yes, I know; I did some research of the series. Will end Adventure 1 today possible and go on (if survive the medical exam of tomorrow)!

>About the Omega Factor, only heard about that, but after Sapphire and Steel, it may be the next thing to watch. If I manage, because from monday, our "bbc entertaiment" like channel RTPMem (Rádio Televisão Portuguesa Memória - portuguese radio and televison memoir) is going to broadcast all X-Files episodes from S01E01 do to the new episodes next year, so...

As I said before some where here in the forum, our TV mainly bought si-fy series from the US (never show Doctor Who - only saw when had cable TV do to BBC prime and it was in 1995...). Space 1999 is one exception in science fiction and possible the kids shows (my father liked stringray and thunderbirds)!

STEED · 10-14-15, 02:12 PM

Space1999 Year One was

Year Two was

Dueing the late 1980's early 1990's I attended some conventions here in the UK tooks lots of pics of the original models.

So we got a "Minister of War" reference. What I wanted and would be cool, the return of the War Lord, but that is far a lot far... At least would be a return of a another/ "new" renegade Time Lord and not the same old and old...
