Episode 3 - Saga of a Star World (Part 2) - Battlestar Galactica (1978)

Before we crack on, we pay our respects to Larson-verser Gil Gerard who passed away shortly before recording. We may do Buck on the podcast one day, you never know. God help Colin and all that spandex, lip gloss and penis-headed robots.

Back to Battlestar, the battle is over, the survivours have been rounded up and we're on the way to Earth. Only problem is they are running out of fuel. So after some heroics, they happen to find exactly what they wanted - a planet basically made of the very fuel they need. What could wrong? We have dodgy insect aliens, multi-mouthed disco singers, Muffit the daggit running around, the first of many love triangles for Starbuck and a real cliff hanger. Just what is at the bottom of the elevator?

What happens when someone who's never seen classic 70s sci-fi watches it with their other half who's a total geek for it? Will they love it, hate it, or ask for a divorce on the spot? The Mackem (Katie) and the Manc (Colin) from England are watching all episodes of Battlestar Galactica (original series) and, for you the wonderful listener, we hope there's some humor and fun comments. You can also listen and watch at the same time, or just enjoy the banter. Warning - there's a few rude words!
