I never watched this show. I don’t think it even aired in the UK. If it had, it shouldn’t have because it looks awful. But it stars that bloke who played Khan’s son in Star Trek II and the title sequence is both old and weird – as well as ridiculously funny – so here you go. No explanations needed – the voiceover man will tell you everything you need to know in hysterical detail – but the hero was Bennu and got his powers from the sun, and his opponent was Yago and got his powers from the moon (and ‘The Black Moonball’ and ‘The Bells of Thon’).
I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
