I bet you're expecting two greens now.

It wasn't the first series. That was the third. Somebody uploaded it onto Youtube & he got a warning from them & the whole lot deleted by whoever holds the copyright.

From what I saw it was terrible anyway & ruined what was a perfectly good show. I've never actually seen it all properly, just bits & they were all shite.

The first season was defintiely the best - I think it was the first miniseries. I remember watching it when I was a kid as well. Everyone in school was talking about it the next day, which was pretty unusual for a Science Ficton show in the early 80's.
The Second Season was almost as good, until they introduced the cliche "Chosen One / Magic Child" near the end. Tried to watch the Third season, but it got to the point where I actually couldn't , the writing became so bad, unfortunately. I was so into the show at one point, I'd collected the comicbooks, and even got the Visitor doll ( I have it packed somewhere, I'll have dig it up ). I'd defiinetly recommend getting the first mini series on DVD, if it's available.

There was supposed to be a remake in 2008 (beginning from where series 1 left off, as Kenneth Williams didn't actually write the Final Battle & there was supposed to be an answer to the distress call Julie & Elias sent at the end of series 1 & the visitors' enemies came to Earth) but Warner Bros fell out with the writers & the whole thing was shelved.

Yes, I always wondered about that last scene, if they would ever show the Visitors's enemies come to earth or not. It's a shame that things went the way it did...Maybe the Sci-Fi network can do a new remake of the series for the 21st century, like they did with "BattleStar Galactica"...

It would be shit -like the new Battlestar.
