Highlights - remembering TV shows of our youth – Lost in Space – 1965 - 1968

From 1965 to 1968 the United States of America brought us a fantastic science fiction television series called "Lost In Space". The television network CBS televised 84 episodes, including the pilot episode "No Place To Hide". The first series was filmed in black and white with the animated credits and original theme tune written by John Williams of "Jaws" and "Star Wars" fame. However, the second series was filmed in colour with such a beautiful array of colours that combined wonderfully with the suspenseful background music. Also there were superb performances by Jonathan Harris who originally was only supposed to be in the first six episodes but whose cowardly antics and exaggerated reactions to events around him, made his character, Dr.Zachary Smith the most popular personage in the whole series.

Series main cast:
Guy Williams, as Professor John Robinson, June Lockhart, as his wife, Maureen and the two daughters Penny, played by Angela Cartwright and Judy, played by Marta Kristen, the boy Will Robinson played by Billy Mumy.
Mark Goddard as Maj. Don West and Jonathan Harris as the evil Dr. Zachary Smith

Long may "Lost In Space" continue to entertain people of all generations in the future.
