Everyday I got mails from my readers that how to watch blah blah blah old doordarshan serial online. Now a days it is not so popular in urban areas but its old serials are still some of hot search items on internet. In India, Doordarshan is the number one TV channel. Still in this world of huge competition among differnet TV, Doordarshan is one of the largest broadcasting organizations in the world in terms of the infrastructure of studios and transmitters. The Plot: Sigma, a space city (running on fusion energy) docked at a Galactic frontier, is the last stand of humans against an even more technologically superior alien race ruled by one ZhakhaKoo.ĭoordarshan is the public television broadcaster of India and a division of Prasar Bharati, which is a Government of India enterprise. Interestingly its makers admitted to not targeting people who had already seen Star Trek, instead they were hoping to capture the imagination of small town audience. Unlike Star Trek, Sigma had a villain and the story, each episode was woven around 'Good Vs Bad'. The inspiration was obviously Star Trek but instead of making a straight copy, it makers came up with 'Sci-Fi Soap-Opera'. With the end of each episode, its young viewers would often run out of their homes singing a new ditty of unknown origins, 'Sigma Par Jayengay aur Zakhakoo Ki Khopdi kay Nimboo Nichodangay' (We will go to Sigma and maybe squeeze those lemons of Zakhakoo's skull) First telecast on May 21, 1989, Space City Sigma marked Indian television's first foray into Science-Fiction. Space City Sigma was safe again, Zakhakoo had again been defeated. Stupid Blob had gone for the metal half of Shakti's face. There is a struggle, but by now it has already dawned of the viewers - Blob stands no chance, this was a brilliant stroke of luck (or genius of its makers). In the manner of its previous killings, this time too, Blob goes for the face, sticking to the face of Shakti who for a moment seems to be in the grips of death itself. As a doors open (automatically, woosh-pause-woosh), Shakti walks in only to be attacked slyly by the Blob.
As the word slowly spreads,there is mayhem, in this mayhem the Blob zeros in on what could be its most prized victim - Shakti. Soon, this 'death-on-contact-with-skin' creature starts making victims out of helpless citizens of the Space City who have no clue about the nature of these new deaths. The Blob is given to jumps onto its unsuspecting victims and sucks the life force out of them. This time he sent a small Blob, strangely, much resembling a stinky wet Upla, a throbbing pack of cow-dung. The latest maneuver of Zakhakoo to take down Commander Tara and his city, the last hurdle to his plans of adding earth to his galactic kingdom and the universe.
