Star Maidens
All 13 Episodes of the Cult 1976 Sci Fi TV Series
Star Maidens is a British-German science-fiction television series
made by Portman Productions for the ITV network. Produced in 1975,
and first broadcast in 1976, it was filmed at Bray Studios and on
location in Windsor and Bracknell, Berkshire, and Black Park,
Buckinghamshire.
The series presents a "battle of the sexes" and role reversal scenario
in which two male domestics escape from the female-ruled planet Medusa
and, arriving on Earth, are pursued by the Medusan security forces. When
the Medusans fail to re-capture the two men, they bring two human
hostages—a man and a woman—back with them to their home planet.
The series' 13 episodes concern the two groups' attempts to adapt to
life on the different planets while brokering an exchange for the hostages.
Regarded as something of a camp novelty, Star Maidens tuned in to the
sexual equality revolution of the time, and features some female
dominance elements.
Until now, the complete series of Star Maidens has been available only on
Region 2 DVD's playable in the UK and Germany.
This set is Region Free and will play anywhere.
