I watched at least the first serial of this when it was on and I was in my early teens/late preteen years. I hadn't seen it since, and a few years ago I managed to get a full copy of it from *ahem* the internet.

... Which is when I discovered where a surprising number of my ludicrous character/narrative/trope kinks come from, thank you very much. I'm a little terrified to watch the rest of it.
