Episode 6 - Lost Planet of the Gods (part 2) - Battlestar Galactica (1978)

[Re-uploaded after falling foul of the disco police]

Oh no, Katie's totally gone with the end of this. She's still crying now, days after recording. Just wait till War of the Gods. We'd better top up the tissues for that one. This one has so much, we get "sealings" i.e. weddings, Egypt, Baltar double treble quadruple crossing, and of course, one of the most heartbreaking scenes in Sci-fi. Poor Boxey, poor Muffit.

We end the pod with a few minutes on the space disco singers from Carillon - who they were, where they come from and the background of the song. To prepare for this, we had to spend an hour watching space disco. Music will never been the same again.

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!
