Simply the best Sci-Fi

Simply the best Sci-Fi ever shown on television, it is one of those rare pieces of work that demonstrate how a good storyline is more important than special effects, something that perhaps George Lucas could learn! I remember seeing the first screening on BBC TV in the 1970's and taping it on my "steam driven" VHS recorder. The life of the old recorded tape lasted just long enough for the DVD to arrive! The music is still as good as ever and worth a CD on its own. However, the Herne Bay (beside the silvery sea) is not the Herne Bay I live near and it's certainly not "silvery"! Another good example of how a good story outweighs special effects is the John Carpenter's film "Dark Star".
