Into the Labyrinth

I don't remember the detail of the previous writer, but I do remember loving the evil witch Pamel Salem, I always like the baddies!! I always hated that she never quite got her hands on the Nidus, as I wanted to see what happened when she did. The previous submission missed out the shows famous line, which I've never forgotten 'I deny you the Nidus' very dramatic!! Pamela is a wonderful baddie, and is definitely an underused performer, although I believe she often graces the west end stage. On the show again, I do remember it being a bit patchy, with very odd story line, sometimes it was great, and sometimes, I would just think is it over yet??

I really enjoyed every week with the adventures of those 3 children trying to get the "Nilus" (Is it the right name?) and fighting with that wicked witch. The best of all was the travel through the labyrinth. There was something magical about it. I have a good memory about the show and I would like to get a copy of it. Anybody can help?

...of being young, innocent, and taken by the lack of echoes in these caves! I turned 6 years old in 1981, it definitely spurred me onto an interest in Adventure-based Computer Games, which in turn got me programming in the 80's. At 30, I now make my money programming today.

There was always something clean about the production, maybe because those caves were never caves! Excitement at the eventual chase, the "will they or won't they" factor, and looking forward to the next episode!

Thanks for those memories, at a well-dodgy time for TV!

I deny you, the Nidus!

I am old enough to remember watching the original transmission of this on ITV when it was screened as part of the weekday afternoon children's slot. It was "Awesome" then & now that I finally own it on its Network DVD release it is still "Awesome". Pamela Salem is "Superb" as the evil Belor! For anyone reading these reviews who is trying to find something "Entertaining" "Exciting" & "Different" for their children to watch & enjoy this cannot be recommended enough! These "Wonderful" adventure serials just aren't made anymore. Everything made for children today has to be "Ultra Slick" & "Glossy" but they all miss the "Essential" ingredient which is a "Good Story". You can watch any amount of so called "Dodgy" special effects as long as you have a "Good Story" and that is exactly what "Into The Labyrinth" delivers!!

I remember the series when it aired on Nickelodeon in 1983. I was only 11 years old at the time but I used to enjoy watching it. I love the story lines. It is a little low budget but you cannot help but laugh at the special effects. But hey, it's a a British sci-fi series - come on! For others who loved this short-lived series it is VERY hard to get it on VHS or DVD. I have been lucky to find it on ebay and now I am the proud owner of all three series. I thought it was really neat how they travel through time trying to retrieve the Nidis and all of the different adventures that the kids went on. Gosh, those were the days....
