Worst series ever?

Last time I was in England I happened to notice Star Maidens. This was from 1975 and included Gareth Thomas, of Blakes 7 fame. It was on sale (a few quid) and it rang a vague bell (I think I'd heard a mention on usenet) so I thought "Ah, why not?" and bought it.

Interesting to note some of the "special" (boy, are they special!) effects are same as from Space 1999. Sounds, film style, music... all so similar.

But Star Maidens... oh my! What a piece of crap! The DVD calls it a "Anglo-German sci-fi sex comedy". Well.. Anglo-German, definitely. Sex? Well, not really. Skimpily clad female guards in gogo boots may be sexy, but it's not sex. Comedy? I'm pretty sure this series was meant to be taken seriously. Unless this is an example of German humour...

Compared to this, most BBC stuff from the era is high art.

It's 13 episodes, each of which were 25 minutes long. That's 5 and a half hours of my life I'm not sure I'm ever going to get back.
