I remember when the BBC showed this when i was a kid. Even at that time i'd seen Star Wars, Star Trek, special effects had come a long way, but i still found this really exciting. I think its a lesson in "how you do it" as oppose to "how much you've got to do it with".
shareI remember it well, along with the black and white Batman, Superman and Green Hornet series' - and, of course, Tarzan. Great times for TV back then - less channels, but so much great programming.
NOW TARZAN MAKE WAR!
Yeah, watched it avidly as a kid. The Penelope Pitstop cliffhangers were rubbish - one minute he's going over a cliff, at the start of the episode next week, he's nowhere blummen near it - but otherwise it was great.
