04.45 Stainless Steel And The Star Spies
06.00 Wonder Woman
10.50 Christmas Spirits

Chopper Squad. I presume that this was a re-showing of the pilot movie from the very cool '70s Austrailian series about a search and rescue team. Goes to prove, I suppose that long before Airwolf and Baywatch I was crazy about helicopters and boobs beaches...

Stainless Steel And The Star Spies. This seems to have been a pilot for a series that never made it. It combined real people and puppets and... I have no memory of it whatsoever!

TV Cream mentions it. As does this blog.

Wonder Woman. Return Of Wonder Woman. I don't know if this aired at 6pm or not, but it's seems like a likely time so I'm going to list it as starting at 6pm.

I always had a love/hate relationship with the Wonder Woman TV show when I was a kid. Since she was a girl, it made sense that it was a 'girl's TV show' and I probably shouldn't be watching it. But the theme tune (later seasons) was awesome and the stories were great, too. Also, as I got a little older I realised that there was another fascination entirely with watching Lynda Carter running around with almost nothing on. Ah, innocent days...

Christmas Spirits.



Another movie/special/play that I have no memory of. But, according to my TV Diary, I watched it. Probably because of Elaine Stritch. During the 70s I would have known her from Two's Company so that might have been the reason I picked it out. Or maybe I wanted to watch it because it was a ghost story.
