[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 251740, member: 23"] Oh, that sounds so familiar. In the latter days of its first UK run I was the exact demographic the series was aimed at and it was my favourite show. The one that I looked forward to every Saturday teatime. While I never wrote to Lynda directly, I did write to [I]Jim'll Fix It [/I]asking if he could arrange for me to meet Lynda and declare my love. In hindsight, I'm very grateful it never went anywhere as it would be [I]very[/I] icky to think I'd sat on Jimmy Savile's knee. It got markedly more kiddified as its third season went along. It was also increasingly restricted by panic around violence on TV, which took away any sense of real jeopardy. Frankly, I think the episodes you watched are some of its better ones, which might be telling about how the series holds up in general. That said, I have a fondness for the first half a dozen or so episodes of Season Two (the first set in the Seventies). They have lots of nice sunny location work which makes it feel easy to watch. Yes. I think people were coming at it from different angles, and I'd guess the only frame of reference for superheroes some guests had at the time would be the Adam West [I]Batman[/I] series. It's a million miles away from the [I]Six Million Dollar Man/Bionic Woman[/I] series which are very well-written and taken incredibly seriously and so hold up much better. [/QUOTE]
