    Classic SciFi

    A great adaptation of Ray Bradbury's classic The Martian Chronicles. Some marvellous stories within the main one of the colonisation of Mars. Very 80's and the SFX are classic Gerry Anderson. Charming Aliens and the gold contact lenses are amazing.

    Life on Mars

    Rock Hudson stars in this mini-series from 1980 and carries the whole story across the 3 episodes. Akthough Episode 2 does drag a bit it has the best finale leading into the final episode. As well as Hudson there are some familiar sci-fi faces such as Barry Morse, Roddy McDowall and Nicholas Hammond. Overall, an entertaining watch

  • Classic sci fi

    What a blast from the past! You need to look past the dated special effects and just enjoy the story. Actually quite a good story (I think it made a better book) but don't expect current standards effects. Suitable for youngsters and people like me who are old enough to remember it the first time round. Basically a mini series comprising of 3 episodes...each one as long as a film. Remember this was 1970's technology and a bit childlike in some of the production. Still enjoyable :)

  • Old school Sci Fi on Mars.

    Absolutely love the "Martian Chronicles",have done since I first saw it as a kid back in the early 1980's . The special effects are not brilliant, infact some of them are terrible, but that's not important. It's the story (Thank you Ray Bradbury) and the pace of filming combine that make a memorable and unforgettable film experience. Also the music is amazing. For science fiction without the special effects of present day, and to be transported back to being a kid again, and a slower pace of life, you can't go wrong with the Martian Chronicles.

  • Great series

    I saw this sci-fi series as a teenager when it first came out in 1980. OK, so the special effects are a bit dated, but the story is good and the acting first rate.

  • Long lost classic

    Haven’t seen this since it was on TV in 1980. I really enjoyed wallowing in the nostalgia but really liked the story too. Still relevant and we could all learn a lot from ‘The Martians’

  • Have only watched the first disk, special effects are, of course, of their time, but entertaining. I dont feel the money was wasted
