Does anyone recall this children's sci-fi thriller from BCNZ?
It is before my time, screening in 1975, but maybe others here saw it or saw reuns?
I found details of it in the Listener, including listings and a large article with much detail. It sounds great.
The six part serial was based around three kids, a kiwi, an Aussie and a Canadian who are attending a Commonwealth youth conference, during the 1974 Comonwealth Games in Christchurch, but they in stumble onto a scientist who plans to cheat in the games with superhuman runners.
I will add more details soon, I'l try to scan the article as it has some interesting history of the production company (owned by some famous names) and also the locations used, the plot, actors and photos.
In the meantime, did anyone see this? Any memories?
