    The Starlost

    I think it might have been the first sci-fi show I ever watched. I vaguely remember seeing one or two episodes when very little but it stuck in my memory, specially the feeling of "oh crap, what do we do now?"

    Anyone else remember this?

    Oh yeah, that show was so bad, but I watched it anyway because it was science fiction. The book it was based on, "Phoenix Without Ashes" was pretty good, but the show was so cheesy it had to be pretty embarrassing for the actors. You can watch all the episodes on Youtube. I actually downloaded them to watch on my Plex server, but, nostalgia be damned, they are BAD. I saw Harlan Ellison at a Star Trek convention in the 70s talking about his book, and HE was embarrassed by the show... basically disowned it.

    Yeah.

    I've never been very good at being clever.

    I make a superb dumb arse though!

    Can you imagine how much a £10 accumulator at William Hill's would have gotten us on all this?

    Certainly enough to get us so drunk we could ignore it thats fer sure!
