First viewed : 2 January 1993
Golden Years was a miniseries written specially by Stephen King who was inspired by the groundbreaking success of Twin Peaks. The David Bowie song of the same name was used as the theme tune. Unusually for me I did see the first episode where an ageing janitor at a scientific research centre is caught in an explosion and then finds himself getting younger instead of older.
It was screened at 9pm Saturdays on Channel Four , eighteen months after execs in the US had decided not to commission a regular series, leaving the mini-series on an unresolved cliffhanger. I thought the first episode was reasonably good but it wasn't on at a convenient time and I wasn't grabbed enough to find the necessary tape space to continue with it.
