James Bond In Outer Space, 16 August 2006
8/10
Author: AdamFontaine from Ambrosia

I.T.V. started with at a disadvantage with 'Buck Rogers' in the autumn of 1980 - they didn't have the rights to the pilot episode 'Awakening', so they began with 'Planet Of The Slave Girls' and hoped for the best. They needn't have worried. 'Buck' was a smash-hit in Britain, its ratings outstripping those of 'Dr.Who' over on B.B.C.-1. It was colourful escapist fun, perfect Saturday night entertainment. Such was its popularity that when I.T.V. ran out of Year 1 episodes, they went straight into Year 2, causing confusion amongst fans here. Everything good about Year 1 was dumped, including - unforgivably - Pamela Hensley as 'Princess Ardala'. Buck, Wilma and Twiki were relocated on a spaceship called 'Searcher', Dr.Huer was never seen nor mentioned again, a boring alien called 'Hawk' was introduced as a regular, the plots scraped the bottom of the sci-fi barrel, and Buck lost his famous sense of humour. Worst of all, Wilma looked less sexy! As Twiki would say: "What a bummer!".
