EPISODE 1: SEPTEMBER 1975
In their first-ever episode, Samira Ahmed and Graham Kibble-White investigate a selection of UK TV shows that were also launching this month, albeit 50 years ago…
The BBC1 hospital drama, Angels; Thames Television’s spooky anthology series for children, Shadows (plus a look at BBC2’s similarly occult-themed Leap in the Dark); BBC2 comedies Fawlty Towers and The Growing Pains Of PC Penrose; Samira’s favourite, Gerry and Sylvia Anderson’s Space:1999; and Graham’s favourite, Yorkshire Television’s glam rock-infused Animal Kwackers.

Great first episode. I thought I was a space 1999 superfan but Samira is next level!
Hi Pete – thanks for taking the time to drop by and leave a comment. Few people can match Samira’s love for Space: 1999!
Samira might have a Space 1999 uniform but did she buy it’s Season 1 on VHS, DVD and then Blu-ray? Trufans want to know… 😉
Graham’s volume is problematic, being significantly lower than Samira or the clips. Otherwise, enjoyable and knowledgeable TV nerd stuff.
