Rewatched this on BritBox recently and it brought back some good memories; and also it was good to be reminded of some things I'd entirely forgotten about.

Although I found the first couple of episodes a bit slow, I found the story telling and characterisations to be very good.

Sure, some of the special effects look a bit dated now (the very rubber suited monster in The Harvest of Kairos for instance) but overall I found it entirely engaging.

I also found it puzzling to reflect upon why some of the casts seemed so keen to get away from it?

Definitely an enjoyable programme to revisit - and one to regret they didn't make more.
