Was Raumpatrouille being broadcast in the late '70s? I have a vague memory of maybe seeing it when I was in West Germany around that time.
I'm quite certain that there were re-broadcasts at various times, so why not in the late '70s?

And indeed, it's quite cool that it predates the original Star Trek. They also had some cool special effects. But perhaps the most notable trivia fact is their use of ordinary household items as props on the ship's bridge. An upside-down electric iron as part of the ship's controls. How cool is that? 8)

Almost as cool as a sink plunger as a Dalek's appendage. :P

I always loved the white object at the back of the 'DeLorean' car in 'Back to the future' That is actually a coffee grinder. We had exactly the same at home, also in white.

Actually, I still use it, not for coffee, but to grind other spices.

That's the one :P . With that thing in my kitchen, I always had to laugh when seeing the deLorean. Probably i can sell it for good money at some "Back to the Future" fans.

jut a quick mention that you should upgrade your version of WonderWorm to 1.2. The first version had a few bugs including the one that affects plasma turrets on all ships!
