'Doctor Who' Season 18 never stood a chance in the ratings when this show hit UK shores from the US.
But it died after two seasons.
What did it have that Meglos didn't?
What went wrong for it to not have a longer run?
And when will 'Buck Rogers' be revived again - either as a movie or TV show?

I don’t think I’ve watched this since it was first broadcast.
Must confess all I remember is Pamela Hensley and that silly robot.
Didn’t think it was bad at the time though.

That Twiki had a rather unfortunate shaped head didn't he...

I was one of those that deserted Doctor Who for a few weeks to watch this series until I grew weary of it and returned back to the fold (so to speak). Series seemed very sort of "flashy trashy" to me. Mind you I was very taken with that Princess Ardala. Remember her or rather the actress who played her, being in that Matt Houston series.
Wasn't the old Flash Gordon/Buck Rogers guy in a blink and you'll miss it part at some point? Seem to recall the TV Times making a thing out of it.

He was indeed, GC - in an episode called "Planet of the Slave Girls".... www.imdb.com/title/tt0533107/?ref_=ttpl_pl_ttAnd here he is - having just read the script of "Planet of the Slave Girls"......

The obligatory dollies...

The few Buck dollies I've seen knocking round over the years always seem to have discoloured heads - a horrid grey zombie pallor.

I like the original opening credits/music of the Pilot episode, with surreal images of Buck being repeatedly awoken by beautiful women for a passionate snog. This scene and the lyrics of the title song seem to suggest that these adventures in the 25th Century are merely a series of dreams he experiences while in suspended animation. Maybe...
