As the subject line suggests, it was "The Starlost". It was Canadian, probably out of Toronto, from the people in it. It was noticebly cheap, but it had its moments. It starred Keir Dullea (from 20[01]*), Robin Ward, and a woman whose name I forget. Bill Osler was the "talking man file" on the terminals ("Can I be of ... assistance?). Among the people in the different episodes were John Colicos and, in another one, his son Nick (I think it was that one). A couple of other episodes featured the actor who played Chekov in Startrek. It ran for about 2 years, then shuffled off to syndication. (incidentally, we never found out what "the accident" was - the binding to the plot was their search for the backup bridge to get the ship back on course). -- - peter bain ...!{allegra|decvax|clyde|ihnp4 }!watmath!wateng!pdbain hard mail: CCNG, CPH-2369A, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ont.
