Alt: GIF from "V" (1984-1985) showing Jane Badler as Diana the alien leader wearing sunglasses and a textured leather jacket, her hair styled in a 1980s blown-out perm, smiling mysteriously.

Listen, the late Empress Rachida did not even allow television in the palacr, and one cannot think how or where, aged 5, one saw that red Mercedes convertible on the motorway appeared on screen, and driving it, the Man from Atlantis next to the girl from Earthquake minus her curly perm.

What TV show grabbed your attention from episode one?
a view of a city from a window with a blue sky in the background
Alt: GIF of the opening credit shot of DALLAS, the original (mini)series from 1978. The programme titles appear in yellow capitals (outline of the letters) recalling the titles of the Rock Hudson-Elizabeth Taylor-James Dean film, GIANT (1956); three panels show various aerial views of the Dallas city skyline, ranch buildings outside the city, and a combine harvester. The production company's name—Lorimar—appears below the programme title in bold but small sized yellow capitals, and at the bottom of the screen, the date "1978" in Roman numerals, alongside copyright claims.
