I originally tuned in when it was first aired in October 1988 (I still have the Radio Times for that week! Everything nosedives a little with an unconvincing (and rather silly) abduction subplot but revives for a devastating climax. Yesterday, I was so excited by the impending release of Dark Season and Century Falls that I forgot to check the Action TV DVD news page to see if there was anything else coming out this month that would be worth watching.I can still remember the thumping music for this show, a series that took a look at one man's meddling with nature.

Nevertheless, First Born aspires to something slightly more philosophical than Gallagher’s horror tale. Twenty five years later her body is discovered and three friends have to face the horror of their past. When two mysterious deaths interrupt Larvik detective William Wisting’s Christmas, it’s the beginning of a showdown with the deadliest killer of them all. Crank up the 8-track and flash back to a time when platform shoes and puka shells were all the rage in this hilarious retro-sitcom.Considering the incredible advances made in gene manipulation since then, I believe this is a series that should be seen by everyone.
