   Having watched it when it came out, yeah, it was moderately popular.   
   (based on the story by Harlan Ellison...)

   Did you catch the Frontal Nudity Scene when Jenny Aguitter   
   is in the ice cave?   
      
   Speaking of her, if you haven't caught the series, "Call the Midwife"   
   is now in its dozenth or so season, and it's, well, great.  She   
   does the voice overs and is a lead character.   
      
   Oh, bonus:  Farrah Faucett in a secondary, or tertiary, role.
