Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale / A tale of a cinematic slip…
The movie The Wackiest Wagon Train In The West is about a wagon train headed by a seasoned older gentleman who has a bumbling and dim-witted sidekick played by Bob Denver. The other people in the wagon train consist of a rich couple of good breeding, two sexy young women, and a young man who knows the latest in the field of science. Sounds familiar?

I’ve seen TV-edited-together video releases before, back before people realised that fans would buy the entire run of a series in its original format, butas a cinematic release…? Oh, yes. Battlestar Galactica was marketed in the UK as a Motion Picture Event, and the pilot episode was shown in cinemas in an altered form. It was 1978, and people were still looking for the next Star Wars… but at least that was the pilot, so it set things up from scratch.
