OK, I'm in the USA and when my PBS station started showing B7, they started with the very first episode. Where was it banned? When?
Just curious.

Not sure where, to be honest, but it was banned on its initial US release in the early 1980s-- the PBS station(s) showing it just started from Space Fall. Which information I have from Gareth Thomas, in case you want to know the source.

This is Gareth's opinion, whether he has any solid evidence for it is another matter. I've heard him say this more than once, but I've heard it as the *series* wasn't shown until the eighties - and Judith says she's heard him tell it both ways. This does suggest that it's Gareth generalising from something he's been told about one station.
