One of the best ever TV sci-fi series., 21 February 2002
Author: Chris Gaskin from Derby, England

Lost in Space is one of the best TV sci-fi series ever made. I saw most of the episodes when the series was repeated on Channel 4 in 1988-1990. Only the first six episodes were released on video in Britain in three volumes and are long deleted. I was lucky to obtain all three recently.

All the stars give excellent performances especially Jonathon Harris who is Dr Smith. The background music is excellent and at times rather creepy. Some of this was by the great Bernard Herrman (The Day the Earth Stood Still, The 7th Voyage of Sinbad) which surprised me as I didn't think he composed music for television.

The special effects are very good and some of the monsters are impressive, especially the giant cyclops, (a man in a rubber suit), from the fourth episode (There Were Giants In the Earth). Some of them look rather silly as well!. Special guests to appear over its duration include Michael Rennie (The Day the Earth Stood Still) as the Keeper, which was a two part story. Some of the monsters in this story are stock footage from fellow Irwin Allen production The Lost World (1960).

It would be nice to see another rerun of this series on Channel 4 as I enjoyed it very much.

Rating: 5 stars out of 5.
