Biddy biddy biddy. Yep, September 1980 brought delights to young kids in the form of Buck Rogers in the 25th Century on ITV, and a sudden interest in Saturday night sci-fi from older lads and dads. What? You think they were all watching for Twiki and a Aldi version of Lee Majors in the title role? Nope, Colonel Wilma Deering was the main interest, spandex leggings, silly helmets and all. And quite right. Didn't appreciate her at the time but it's amazing what you notice on the re-runs when you are older. Yes you realize it was actually a load of old crap but there's benefits. Such as Ms Gray. Yeah there was the scheming sex vamp Princess Ardala (right) played by Pamela Hensley but that was all a bit obvious. Wilma was where it was at. We all love an ice queen. And she's the reason why I remember the show fondly. Oh alright, and Twiki.
