ACTUALLY CALLED THE NEW ORIGINAL WONDER WOMAN. Guh? LYNDA CARTER did the flying/lasso schtick. Spun around to change costume, had Feminum belt to give strength, Feminum bracelets to deflect bullets, etc. Always seemed to be cloning Hitler in every other episode. Assisted by the IRA. No, not that one.

Blue Peter
Thursday, 17.30, CBBCNews this week that Blue Peter are launching a new badge to encourage participation in sport was accompanied in the press release by the more interesting news to us that this programme’s now got a new editor, one Ewan Vinnicombe. We’ll put aside our disappointment at not being headhunted to take the job ourselves and wish him all the best, although research suggests he doesn’t appear to be on Twitter, thus seemingly preventing us from being able to bend his ear and directly influence Blue Peter policy. Meanwhile, last week’s episode came in its entirety from the garden, showing off that it’s quite a versatile space and, despite the fact there’s a tram stop right next to it and a tram appeared to arrive during the programme, is actually quite quiet. The tranquillity of Salford, there.
Wasn’t there an episode of this where the baddie was a big disembodied brain in a tank? Not a military tank, like a fish tank with green fluid, Brain of Morbius style. That disturbed me a bit for some reason, although presumably all Wonder Woman would have to do to conquer it would be to boot it over. Bit queasy, though.
The first series with Lynda Carter was set in WWII, but for some reason not picked up by any British station until the 1990s.
