X Files, The Ultimate Science Fiction Collection (1997) |
Unknown; liner notes missing from library copy, alas |
A cult classic of British television, replete with cheesy effects and implausible plots, a lead character who metamorphoses into five different actors (or is it six?), and a distinct sense of humor. |
