< 1970s TV Sci-Fi
Click on it and see if you can name them all. Who is that fourth from the left, in the blue-gray suit? (And I assume that is Patrick Duffy as The Man From Atlantis next to him?) And who’s the girl in the red/blue outfit standing next to Bruce Banner (not to mention the Captain America dude behind her)? Was there some USA Captain America series in the 70’s that didn’t screen in Australia?
As for the spaceships…well you’d have to be a half-man not to recognize them all (note: thats a challenge to AW and BS). Except maybe for the round one above the dalek, with the circles sticking out. It’s familiar, but I can’t quite name it.
And what is Twiki holding?
Watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8RfzkhqBLY for a hint as to what the unidentified flying object above the Dalek is.
I also don’t know what Twiki is holding, I thought it might have been Crichton’s head, but he was silver, not gold.
And regarding Captain America, I don’t think we missed much down under: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=da7MRzF8pJ0 Be sure to watch the entire thing, it’s comedy gold.
And the guy in the blue-gray suit is of course Adam Quark of the United Galactic Sanitation Patrol: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeF098PsHMs
I remember seeing this on Aussie TV, but I can’t recall if it was on the ABC between repeats of Dr Who and Monkey, or on some other channel.
The second two links didn’t work (The URL contained a malformed video ID).
I knew about UFO, and guessed the ship may have come from it, but wasn’t sure. As for Quark – duh! It even says his name on his uniform.
Whatever Twiki is holding looks like a spaceship, perhaps from Lost In Space or The Impossible Voyage or something like that. Did the guy that make those shows make any in the 1970s? Alternately it could be a Thunderbird…
Go fix those URLs, I want to see the Captain America one!
Those links work now. WordPress thought the full stop at the end of the sentence was part of the URL. I used my hacking skills to edit the comments.
The woman in the red’n’blue togs is Cathy Lee Crosby as Wonder Woman. “That’s incredible!” you cry. Yes, incredibly bad.
Meanwhile, Twiki is holding the spaceship Spindrift from “Land Of The Giants”. The size gives it away. Bidi-bidi-bidi.
I claim full manhood! 🙂
Holy Moses, Cathy Lee Crosby as Wonder Woman??!?!
And I *almost* guessed the Twiki one didn’t I?
