SP-TV: First Episode of Things Saturday II


17:20. First Ever Countdown Episode Ever. The very first show shown on C4 and featuring one of the most miserable contestants seen in a tv game show (it took five episodes to dislodge the bastid).

17:50. Starfleet E01 and E02. Yes I’m showing two episodes. My show my rules. Japanese puppet show.. in spaaaaaaaaace.

18:40. The High Chaparral – Destination Tucson. TV Western serial that ran from 1967 to 1971. Typical cliched cowboy shite yes… but lads, its got Cameron Mitchell on a horse! Also… the first minute or so is dubbed into German.. just go with it.

20:20 Moonbase 3 – Departure and Arrival. Realistic science fiction created by Barry Letts, and amongst others starred that fella from Dear John. Lasted six episodes.

21:15 Survivors – The Fourth Horseman. Covid19 70s – shat me right up as a kid did this, especially the opening titles.

22:05 FarScape Premier. “My name is John Crichton, An astronaut, A radiation wave hit and I got shot through a wormhole, Now I’m lost in some distant part of the Universe, on a ship, A living ship, full of strange alien life forms, Help me, Listen please, Is there anybody out there who can hear me? I’m being hunted by an insane military commander, Doing everything I can, I’m just looking for a way home.”

22:55 Lipstick of Your Collar E1. On the eve of the Suez crisis Ewan McGregor is looking forward to completing his national service, while Giles Thomas has just been called up. It’s Dennis Potter init so there’ s songs.

Shows over by midnight.
