OSP's suggestion 'The Nightmare Man' is available on dailymotion
(Yet another half-decent Sf series from the BBC that isn't on i-Player, Booo). Nice B7 connection via Mr Holmes.

Sounds scary!

AnneA's suggestion 'Children of Green Knowe' is also on dailymotion
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1600355/...f_=tt_ov_i
Tolly is invited by his great-grandmother to spend Christmas at her remote and mysterious house in the country.
Sounds scary in a different way!!

Any views on what you want to rewatch next?

York to Keele can't be an easy journey, however you travel. Hope everything goes to plan. If the students cause trouble, make them sit with their arms folded!.

Yup. But no white cat.

Every show used it throughout the 60s and the 70s. Even B7.

Hopefully we can pass the unanswered ones to TT.

Will do! Yes, when I was an undregraduate at St Andrews I thought it was inaccessible, but Keele is something else again! Fortunately I only have to get as far as Macclesfield, and then I can get a lift from a colleague.

I am actually here, as you can see, but swapping undersea adventures for what looks likely to be Andy Murray's last tennis match. Currently he and his partner are a set down to a pair of horribly good Americans . . .

These cyborgs have flashing joints all over, not just the groin area.

Well, they've pulled it back twice already.

If they have flashing blades we might have a good fight later.

If any human is weak it's the one who can't (or won't) control his eating. Hint, Mr Baddie.

I cannot comment on this since I am shovelling strawberry bonbons down my throat...

Basehart playing cyborg Nelson is more animated.

Actors like playing baddies or henchmen/henchbots. Makes a change for them.

It's not that exciting. The Americans are now a break up in the second set. Murray and Evans have come back from the brink in their previous two matches, but you just feel that they will try to do it once too often.

The music reminds me of the outer limits rather than VTTBOTS

This is then. Plus it's only mobile cos it's attached to his mobility scooter.

I think they've done something different with his make-up, too. But we have to be able to tell the difference between the real and the fake Nelson somehow, surely?

Hedison played a fly. Now that's a stretch!

Presumably stabbing the cyborg short-circuited it? Can't think of any other reason it would just stop.
