Definitely ahead of its time, Dark Season is split into two three part stories. The adventures at school of three children, Marcie, Reet and Thomas.
In the first, Mr Eldritch attempts to take over the children's minds with computers, in the second Miss Pendragon attempts to raise an ancient force, the Behemoth.
There is a variation in quality it's fair to say, some of the acting varies from good to questionable, the best throughout being Bridget Forsyth, who plays reluctant hero teacher Miss Maitland.
Sci fi like this was well ahead of its time, stories like this are great for youngsters, and lovers of sci fi like myself.
Russell T Davies couldn't help but throw in some Doctor Who themed elements, the opening credits, which sees a Who liked theme, and the Master race archaeology team, who seem a cross between The Thaals and Nazi inspired Daleks.
I loved this as a kid, I think it holds up well, right now as a viewer I'm watching Jodie Whittaker's Doctor, with Chris Chibnall at the helm, watching this desperately makes me want to see Russell return.
It deserved to run a bit longer, and uncover the truth about Eldritch. 7/10
