CLASSIC IMAGE: HEROINE SWAP!


One of the series most action-packed adventures, Gun on Ice planet Zero was soon a ratings hit for Galactica when the story debuted later in the series run than had at first been planned- not as the feature-length movie to have followed on from the pilot episode but rather becoming an expanded two-parter with additionally shot material.

It looks like from The Young Lords Audrey Landers somehow wandered into this adventure though, rather than the story's actual female guest lead Britt Ekland, as seen in this hilarious 'Oops!' TV Guide magazine episode ad promotion.
