In the UK we can view it on BBC iPlayer which is free to view and doesn't have any adverts. The episodes were put on this platform towards the end of 2023. The BBC does not have adverts of any kind. We are required to pay a licence fee to watch the non advertising channels (which I do). But the channels can be watched without, unless you are caught out. Then we have Sky, Netflix, Disney etc. all require expensive subcriptons to access their content. Oh!!!

It was or is running on a private channel. Too bad for the broadcaster: I avoid adverts every five minutes like the plague ;-) Have a serene Sunday, my dear! Yes, I heard all that.

The stories and concepts were iconic in their day. The old black and white grainy TV added to the atmosphere. Looking back on the old episodes some of the themes were ahead of their time. So to name a few themes... we had good versus evil, world domination, climate destruction, polution, mind control (as in cultish) and some of the episodes were intended as history lessons.
