Is that the one where Lifeguard Old Man suffers multiple full body savagings that should have finished him off, but true to form keeps shambling back into the story for no reason?

Made sure to wear THE tee, had several people stop me to ask where it came from!

Also, as someone who lives for sightings of background artist/extra Mike Stevens & his legendary look of extreme concern he'd soon take on to Moonbase Alpha it was great to see him among the Moonbase 3 crew. The last episode seemed to accidentally suggest there were two of him, so win-win.

Exactly. And most men would only ask 'what if'? But these pioneers dared to make it a reality. And then burnt it.

So, Moonbase 3. Nowhere near as bad as its reputation suggested; far from spectacular either, but it occasionally climbed to impressive heights considering the limitations of its budget & production. Glad I've seen it, & a bit sad there's only 6 episodes. Will definitely rewatch.

Yet the leads are all likable enough & gel well, & it's always fun trying to guess which of the semi-regulars will go mad this week. The final two episodes also raise the stakes quite significantly, with the finale being a genuinely gripping story that I wish had gone all the way.

There's also more than one episode that ends with someone saying "we thought that something unusual & interesting was going on - thank goodness it turned out to have a thoroughly scientific & rational explanation! As you can see on this detailed diagram/map/scale model I've prepared..."

I don't think it'd win an award for, well, anything; the pacing rarely exceeds glacial & a lot of it is oddly dressed people arguing in plastic porta cabins. But then again, I like good actors arguing in old UK shows. (Particularly when you're also trying to guess what accent they're doing.)

Loved your review of Stingray The Big Gun today! Been my favourite episode since I was a kid, every department firing on all cylinders. And I especially love the fearsome Mighty Leader plotting to overthrow the terraineans while swinging back & forth on his comfortable pink garden furniture.
