I was only 7 when the series ended and this all happened before the first moon walk so paved the way for children's imaginations everywhere.
As far as I was concerned this was what outer space was like and I rushed home every week to watch this wonderful programme.
Billy Mumy was me!!!! I built spaceships in my bedroom made from blankets and chairs and my friends would come round so we were able to visit wonderful planets or crash land on one like in the show. My poor mother then had to be an alien who we conversed with.
In the show itself Zachary Smith played by the wonderful Jonathan Harris and the robot played by Bob May stole the show every week.
I wish I had been slightly older to have been able to understand all of Smith's abuse at the mechanical moron. Oh the pain!!
