Gerry Anderson On The BBC
The best time to be watching the BBC, if you ask me.
Sam's hair colour tint
Sam's hair colour tends to change throughout the series in very specific instances.
These are the 6 hair colours I was able to find
Intro and some series 1 episodes - (brown with red highlights)
Telly Trouble - Auburn
Treasure Hunt - Auburn brown
All In A Good Cause - Auburn with lighter highlights
Disaster for Dinner - Bright red
Disaster for Dinner and Home From Rome - light auburn?
Disaster for Dinner in particular is interesting because there
appears to be two versions of that episode,
there's the regular version and the remaster.
I thought the hair colour changed depending on the lighting
but after seeing these two, I feel like it might be due to the film reels used,
I'm not sure if it was aged film like Sailor Moon
or if bright red was the original colour, just corrected
Get Set Galactic this week.
James, Ayo, and Sam help the under-fives understand basic science principles. How come some things are heavier than others? Will it float?
Can you pick up the toy from the conveyor belt? Build a bridge?
The science content is precise and appropriate for the audience of five-year-olds. And the underlying message - try it and test it! - is something older viewers might internalise.
There's a story through each episode, Ayo and Sam solve some crisis on their spaceship by remembering what science pioneers would have done.
In @becrystalamazed's Protagonist Alignment chart, Get Set Galactic is a combination of youth and wisdom. It's the antithesis of Splatalot, both in content and style.

Archer's Goon, BBC, 1992
A man emerges from a caravan seemingly in a barren wasteland. He seems surprised to see us but explains he's helping aliens research Earth,...
Last year, Jonathan Bufton wrote a couple of articles about Parallel 9.
They were ace.
They inspired a cast reunion, thirty years after the original shows.
Now, Jonathan writes about series 2, from summer 1993.
Parallel 9 was set on an alien planet, where strange life-forms run amok, and even stranger things happen. This year’s series features a bald researcher, a spiky-haired lab assistant, a clever woman, and an Earthbase filled with people from Aussie soaps.
There’s also a heavy metal dinosaur from Rotherham.
