Why you asking?
Great question!
Shit I watched it on 3 too.
I think it was ITV. (UK)
Yep, ITV along with Phantom Empire and King of the Rocket Men.
Phew! I was pretty sure it was ITV but not completely. Thank-you.
Well that’s my recollection from when I was a nipper but this suggests it was more complex than that with different serials being shown on a fre channels at various times.
My main memory is of getting up early to watch the B&W serials on ITV before the proper telly started but it may be I have conflated things into that memory. I definitely wouldn’t have thought they were on BBC 2 at teatime as I recall things like Star Trek TOS being on at 6 and there being a battle to see if we’d watch that or the news. However, the movie serials were presumably cheap filler so different channels presumably filled up time with them at various points.
I will do more digging.
I was so young in the 80’s, I only vaguely even remember watching Flash Gordon, He-Man, TMNT and Teddy Ruxpin while still in the actual 80’s. I definitely do not remember the channel any of them were on.
Channel 2
5, I think, ktla
In NYC I think it was 9, WOR? Or 11, WPIX
We had it on VHS
In New Zealand it was on channel 2. Which is how many channels we had at the time.
In the UK, and no idea until I found this site https://tvrdb.com which allows you to search old TV listings.
It was BBC1.
Got the Blu-ray a few years back. I think the BBC might have cut a few bits.
I saw it in the cinema.
