Moonbase 3

1973

This was a very realistic science fiction TV series from the BBC, 20th Century Fox, and ABC. It was attempting to be very realistic, and in that regard it succeeded, a little too well. It was so realistic that it was often caught up in politics and budget concerns. That may be realistic, but it was rather lacking in the wonder and adventure that makes scifi so much fun. It is still an enjoyable show to watch for the 6 episodes that it lasted. The special effects were wonderful, the acting was solid, and even without the more fantastic elements of scif, it is still very engaging. It is only available in a PAL DVD version, but you can watch all of the episodes on Youtube.
