I watched this when it was first aired. Even though it was a childrens program, I was 26 and thought it was very good and have never forgotten it.
I downloaded it from YouTube and watched it again, but was disappointed.
The adult storyline was quite intellectual and the strong adult cast was worthy of more than a children's program. I really do not think would have understood the half of it. The young actors were pretty poor. The son leading the scientist father was a bit too much to take.
The worst part was the overbearing discordant chanting soundtrack. It was used to much and was really irritating.
I have rated it quite high based on my original reaction to the program back in 1977. In 2021 it would have been a 1.
