I'm going to be sad when its done, but overall I think its been a brilliant series. The second season was definitely the slowest, but series three might surpass season 1.
If i understand what you have said there, that is pretty much what i think: First place = season one, second place season three and third place season two. The second season just seemed very domesticated compared to seasons one or two. Ruth makes soap, Greg builds a generator and I
think "the lads" (including Peter Duncan of Blue Peter fame) make a pulley based lifting system in the barn. Fuckin' wow!
I didn't think they would kill Greg off. I thought there would be some last minute miraculous release / rescue, but no. The bastards!!!
. I really missed his character when he increasingly became an irregular guest "star" for the occasional episode in the final season, although Dennis Lill held the fort really well. Even Lucy Fleming / Jenny Richards livened up a bit in season 3.
Although i do need to view it again. I last watched it in the nineties on satellite. My memory of it is fading.
Terry Nation did write a novelisation to accompany season 1 (1975) which was then re-released alongside Adrian Hodges' two series (12 episode) reboot in 2008 and 2010.
