Marc Harrison gives an eerie performance as the titular Sky, a time traveller, human or alien, it's not immediately clear which, who is stranded in1975 England, pursued by a future assassin seeks help from farm folk. Sky's presence also causes nature to turn against him, an unusual series, possibly Bob and Dave's best work.

I vaguely remember this one...

It could be time to renew an old acquaintance.

Sky Hardcover – 9 Feb 2015
by Bob Baker (Author)

“The Juganet is a circle. The circle is a machine. The machine is a cross-over point. The point is a paramagnetic intersection. That is where I must be. Not here...”

Eerie, unsettling and a benchmark production for children’s television in the 1970s, Sky was created by Doctor Who stalwarts Bob Baker and Dave Martin as one of the run of outstanding children’s dramas HTV produced in that decade.

Sky is a mixture of ecological fable, science fantasy and good, old-fashioned peril. An ethereal boy called Sky materialises on an Earth that is as unprepared for him as he is for it. He soon realises that he’s been brought to the wrong time and must seek out the Juganet to return to his correct place in reality. With the help of tearaway Arby Venner, his sister June and friend Roy he must race against time as Nature rejects Sky and the Earth’s immune system creates the evil Goodchild, who is out to stop him at all costs...

Based on one of the most memorable television series of the 1970s starring Marc Harrison, Stuart Lock & Cherrald Butterfield.

Building on the success of previous releases featuring tales from Children’s Television past, this is the first brand new novelisation from Fantom Publishing.
