Star Maidens: WTF Were They Thinking?

There is no way you could make this series today.  It would be offensive and unwatchable, with probably loads of violence that was totally absent from the original, along with a creepy, exploitative misogyny that the 70's wouldn't have tolerated.  Star Maidens was a pan-European cheapy that couldn't decide if it was kidding or not at the time.  I actually saw an episode many many years ago and remembered the scene eating the apples on the farm, but I'm sure it was not widely screened anywhere on Earth.  If you are an insomniac with a distaste for American political cable news channels, well, YouTube is your friend, friend.
