I sort of remember this from the 70s when I was a kid,but it was never
a must watch for me ( I must have been about 10 or 12 ) and I cant say I remember
much about it..and yes I mention this because the actor Paul Darrow has just died.
Anyway I have just watched the first two episodes on Youtube ..I expected
low budget play for today type settings and scenes and comical special effects
and I wasnt disappointed. But actually the BBC didnt make a bad fist of this.
The plot seems to be building nicely I,the setting seems to be some grim dystopian
type future and have found it quite watchable.Might even stick with it for a few more episodes.
Just wondering if anyone on here used to watch it back in the day??

Watched it regular.. Not sure I would watch it again as it always seemed so depressing

Yes I watched it and in its day it was far more exciting than Doctor Who, I don’t want to look back at it and be disappointed.
