Saw some TikToks yesterday on the same Anderson company production of ‘Space 1999’. (Uk 1975-76)

I remember as a kid being scared into next century the episode of when they visited a frozen planet and brought off a dude that proceeded to melt his skin on one of the Eagles. Truly horrific, muscles, blood, eyes popping

I was banned from tv past that point at night time because of the hysteria I had

Fast forward 50 years I go looking for Space 1999 last night and found it

The show looks abysmal as I flicked through trying to find the scene but I did end up finding it

50 years on it is still messed up disturbing

The days before a Ratings system…

So, ones that have made a big impression:

Heimat

So many more great shows, obviously.

A lot of great shows mentioned but one show I didn’t see on any list at a quick browse was Rectify.

4 seasons from 2013.
Has 8.5 or thereabouts on IMDB and above 90% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Def worth checking out.
