I found an old Australian made series on ABC iview.
Called The Stranger. Made in 1964, 2 Series each of 6, 25 minute episodes.
One notable actor being Chips Rafferty playing Australian Prime Minister.
The show can also be seen on youtube, type, The Stranger 1964
Nostalgia makes me watch,then i think thank God for colour.
I do. One I particularly like is ‘A matter of Life and Death’ (1946). It is both black and while and colour. It has David Niven in it playing a pilot who cheats death when his plane crashes. He falls in love with a radio operator tying to talk him down and she with him. He falls unconscious and is summoned to a heavenly Court to argue his case for carrying on living and loving. More to it than that and a good film I reckon.
Edit: Not Sci-Fi I suppose. Sorry but just the first impossible situation that came to mind.
More on topic is ‘Space 1999’ (1975 to 1977). Written at a time when it was thought we would be easily flying around in space.
The only black and white shows I can sit through are the Joan Crawford, Bette Davis or Bogie films.
And the occasional Twilight Zone, as Rod Serling was born and bred in a town 30 miles from me.
Twilight Zone was something special, low budget monochrome and quite unsettling in a gentle sort of way
Two of my favourite sf’s are in B&W.
The Thing from another World and The Day the Earth Stood Still
Although a lot of my well watched oldies I can’t remember whether they are colour or not.
Serling’s gift of telling stories is that he offered up an idea of insaneness, but just on the fringe of sanity, so left us all wondering and thinking it could happen … or already did.
