I was introduced to this cult classic by my dad (who'd loved it when it originally aire) as a kid back in the early 90's when they started to do re-runs of it on the BBC. Was it low budget, even for it's time? Absolutely... but I instantly fell in love with it (I was never a Doctor Who kid). So when I was wandering around Blackwells in Oxford the other day looking for my next Sci-Fi read, imagine my surprise when this lone book popped out on the shelf. I had no idea there were novelisations of it, let alone one that had been republished recently - Obviously this was a no brainer purchase, I think I almost audibly screamed when I noticed it.

What an absolute blast of nostalgia I had with this. If you've seen the first series, it follows it remarkably well. Here's hoping they re-publish the next editions in the series (if they haven't done already!)

Here's to also hoping they do a modern day reboot of this show some day... It's prime for it.

I recalled the TV show as I read through the book< giving me a great visual imagine in my head. Fun< basic, showing its age quite a bit!
