[QUOTE="wolsty, post: 14014, member: 175166"] I remember watching, with great enjoyment, Blake's Seven. My 26 year-old daughter still speaks of the evenings when we watched it together. Her Mum was out at a Keep Fat class, her older sister was at Brownies, the younger two weren't yet born, so she had me to herself. We ate sweets, drank pop and watched avidly the improbable antics of the cast. Avon was our favourite and Callie always looked as if she'd spent too much time standing in the rain. I loved Dr Who, whose collection of nubile assistants always managed to trigger my teenage testosterone machinery. In later manifestations, Tom Baker's portrayal had deliciously subversive/anarchist undertones. I'm not a great fan of the later versions of Star Trek, but I have to say that Seven of Nine is the answer to an old man's fantasy deficiency. But what of Quatermass? In my youth, the black and white series scared me shitless and, having watched it against my parents' express wishes, I have only myself to blame. I still remember nights of sheer terror, with every noise, light, movement and thought sending me for the security under the covers. I've a soft spot for Red Dwarf, but I'm not convinced that it's science fiction. The original Star Trek is certainly high on my list of favourites. But if you're forcing me to vote, and on the assumption that few of the members are aged enough to remeber Quatermass, I'd have to go for Blake's Seven. [/QUOTE]
