The Perils of Pauline (1967)

Pamela Austin in The Perils of Pauline.  This is a little loved movie constructed from the first few episodes of a failed TV series.

 

And there are those very recognisable and hard working spacesuits from so many TV and film shows.

Touched By An Angel - Godspeed (1999)

Touched by an Angel is an American drama series that premiered on CBS on September 21, 1994 and ran for 211 episodes and nine seasons until its conclusion on April 27, 2003.

The series stars Roma Downey, as an angel named Monica, and Della Reese, as her supervisor Tess. Throughout the series, Monica is tasked with bringing guidance and messages from God to various people who are at a crossroads in their lives.

These images are from the season 5 episode; Godspeed, clips of which were recently viewed by myself on the old YouTube.

I'm sure it wasn't meant to make me laugh like a drain but with lines like;  "It's not your oxygen that's in short supply, its your faith." who could blame me.  We're incapable of making faith based TV like this in Blighty.  When we try it comes out all Father Ted or Vicar of Dibley.  I'm in awe.

Silversun - Jelly Belly (2004)

Silversun is a children's television series made in Australia by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC).  It features the adventures of the adolescent members of the crew of the Star Runner, an interstellar spaceship carrying a cargo of 550 cryogenically suspended colonists to their new home; Silversun.  And now you know as much as me.

These images are from the 13th episode of the first season, entitled; Jelly Belly, and features that perennial favourite prop of the cash-strapped TV costume designer; the motor bike helmet sprayed silver.  Just add big collar to disguise with varying effect.
