User Reviews

This scared me stiff as a child, but I loved it.

This was the first thing I ever remember seeing on TV. I was 9 years old and we had just got a TV set in our house. I was riveted by this program, and ,although it scared me silly, I would wait avidly for the next episode. I have not seen it since then, but it started a love affair for me with any science fiction , both on TV and in the film world.
