Series D, Episode 1. First broadcast on Monday, 28 September 1981.

And we’re back with the first episode of Maximum Power for a whole new decade (of the third century of the second calendar). It’s Rescue.

When a handsome stranger arrives on the planet Terminal and rescues the stranded Nathan, Pete, Peter, Si and Simon, it soon becomes apparent that he’s not the the dishy bleached-blond hero they had all been hoping for — but a depraved old man whose beauty regimen involves botox, red wine and turning twinks into cheap Doctor Who monsters. Will the boys escape his evil grasp, and do they even want to?
