Hi Paul

All 3 series are available to watch on Youtube, split into 3 parts per episode, and they're shown in 420p, so although it's not DVD quality, it's quite watchable. If the 420p symbol isn't there just add this to the end of the address & refresh, this will upgrade any Youtube picture & sound

&fmt=18

Works everytime ;-)

Cheers - Justin

PS the Safari is only series 1 & 2, and series 3 is pretty awful anyway so don't bother.

Hi Justin,

Is there much Safari aciton in the episodes? *Wonders* If it is worth watching the show to see a glimpse of a new CX safari every now and again.

Well I watched this as I stumbled across it on Youtube, and I remembered it vividly as a child, but of course couldn't remember what happened, the CX bits are just a bonus, having said that they are about the best close up shots of a brand new CX you'll ever see, I've never seen better. If you're a sci-fi fan you'll find it much easier to watch, and it's always interesting to see how things have changed from then until now - if only kids were still like that now - heaven ;-) If you do give it a go, only bother with series 1, it's the best show of the 3, and has the most CX action.
