I Remember Watching This

I remember watching this many many years ago when I still lived in London. At the time I thought it was the best thing since sliced bread, a great TV series. Man did I cry when it finished. I hope the bring it out on DVD one day. It was a great forerunner to Docter Who, my younger brother was scared, I think it was because they showed an eye at the beginning. I remember there was also a villain in the show, a bit like Dr Smith in Lost in Space. One particular scene I always remember, am not sure which show it was from, but they had gathered together some ice to melt for water. But an alien plant started to take over the bottle and then the ship leaving the villain trapped inside. Temendous show I wish they would show it again.
