Lisa Harrow and Peter McEnery were among the powerhouse performers appearing in the two-part British miniseries Witchcraft. The story concerned the efforts by a detail-obsessed movie director to film the biography of an infamous 17th century Witchfinder. To this end, the director insisted upon shooting at the same locations where the Witchfinder had carried out his atrocities. The "fun" begins when the ghost of the film's "hero" suddenly pops up to wreak fatal havoc upon cast and crew alike. Witchcraft was originally broadcast in 1992. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Blake (Gareth Thomas) finally arrives at Star One, the location of the Federation's control center. Almost simultaneously, Star One is invaded by an army from another galaxy. This puts Blake in the untenable position of saving the hated Federation from the invaders -- a dilemma that is only made worse by the arrival of his old adversary, Travis (Brian Croucher). Like the final episode of Blakes 7's first season, this climactic installment of season two ends with a cliffhanger. Representing the last regular series appearances of Gareth Thomas as Blake (who would, however, make two crucial guest appearances in future episodes) and Sally Knyvette as Jenna, "Star One" originally aired on April 3, 1979. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
