@oldbritishtelly This raises an interesting question.

Why is Sentinel-1 less memorable than bloody 7-Zark-7?

Maybe it's because the only halfway decent reimagining of ancient Greek mythology as space superheroes was #Ulysses31.

@ThatMarkRoberts

So the system that gave us #BattleOfThePlanets in the 1970s is alive and well in the 2020s, then.

One cheer for U.S. re-makes of other countries' telly stuff? (-:

@Llordllama There was definitely a reason that the U.S. people made Battle of The Planets. (-:

#BattleOfThePlanets - "Giant From Planet Zyr" on #BBCOne
It takes all of 7-Zark-7’s computer knowledge, G-Force’s super-human efforts and the weaponry of the Fiery Phoenix to bring down the Giant from Zyr.
BBC One then broadcast repeats of "The Alien Bigfoot" and "Cupid Does It To Keyop". Both episodes had been first shown in April 1982. You would have to wait until the end of July 1983 for two more new episodes.
