Anyone watching this at the moment?

I remember it from first time round (I'm that old) and being terrified as a kid by the Shape and Johnny Jack.

I also watched it again in my late teens / early 20s as a student at Poly. Not paying too much attention, though, but great nostalgia.

I'm now starting to go through the episodes once again, one by one as they were originally shown. I am halfway though adventure one. It's incredibly slow-paced and obviously the effects are minimal to say the least, but this is great stuff!

Really good script with earnest acting that wins you over even when it gets hokey. Direction that makes a virtue of the low budget – inventive and effective, shot by shot. And what a totally believable, solid set. There are Doctor Whos from 1979 – and long after – that are put to shame on all these scores.

Them's me thoughts.
