Who can possibly forget Bugs from the 1990s? Well, its back, and its lost nothing! While Series 2 and 3 were arguably better than Series 1, there is still enough drama in the first incarnation to make for excellent viewing. Chemistry between the characters is still developing but it is clear to see why it became so well loved. Family viewing as its very best.
Only drawback is the DVD is not well-partionned into chapters.
It seems like yesterday that this series went out on Saturday evenings - but it's getting on for ten years. They are a lot of fun - great hocum! - but the pointlessly moving lighting effects in many of the futuristic settings grate a bit after a while. It stretches the credibility to breaking point (and beyond!) but it's all very slick and a lot of fun.
