[double0skidmarks]

The picture quality is excellent aslong as you squint really had!!

[AndrewND92]

One of them boys is Ethan from Hollyoaks.

[GamerOnline777]

My Dad Was the Dubbing Mixer to This!! I have all the DVD's that he made for it and my dad's friend made it! Which is pretty Awesome! :)

[scholemaster]

lol legendary stuff

[Occono]

How come the shows I grew up with have all been forgotten.....

[sheepeasy]

Haha feeling young.. Was about 5 when I watched this. Count yourselves lucky that most of you were actually semi-self aware for the 90s, it seemed pretty good.

[brightlights456X]

1997/1998

FUCK ME!.......time sure flies by. I'm in my 20's now.

One of the boys is the brother of the woman who play Janine off Eastenders.

[garyminion]

@brightlights456X

I know this is exactly what I just thought to myself. I'm in me 20s too and used to watch this along with other BBC shows (I was in primary school back then).

[brightlights456X]

@garyminion

Heres to another 10 years. Probably with children of our own by then....scary:/

[rowancboi17]

i feel 10 years old again!! thanks for posting

[pufferfishish]

This show was just a rip-off of 'Explorers', starring Ethan Hawk and River Phoenix.

[B3thii]

@pufferfishish How?! The show is based on a book written by Andrew Norriss.

[pufferfishish]

@B3thii ...but while I'm here, Explorers did appear to have pre-dated his book by twelve years, so not really indicative of a completely unique idea. I'm sure it inspired him.

[B3thii]

@pufferfishish Yes, probably inspired him, but not a total 'rip-off', I'm sure there is defined differences between the two.

[pufferfishish]

@B3thii You're suree there are? Why are you so sure? A completely originalk idea is a pretty rare thing; I should have inserted the word inspired withing inverted commas in order to convey my meaning.

I think he ripped the idea off. Let's agree to differ.

[pufferfishish]

@B3thii *sure

*original

[B3thii]

@pufferfishish okay!

[topsyjanebrown]

Aquila 2 Chapter 1 is now on Youtube too.

[revengeguy]

FUCK YEAH WAS THAT OTIS THE AARDVARK!?

[ste309w]

How did the story end? I remember the last epsode of series 2, when the kid with the glasses worked out how to make contact with Aquila's mother ship (a battlecruiser as I recall). I remember they found out it was on a course that would take it near earth and the guys were going to fly to it. Always wondered how it worked out. Shame it was ended there and then.

[nileboy125]

you can get all the Aquila episodes in slightly higher quality on google videos. just search on "aquila tv series".

[nunatak123]

OTIS! I loved that furry toffee-eating ardvark!

[meatisdeliciouse]

OMG! jeugdsentiment! k keek dit altijd met me vader!

[vintagerave]

aww good old 90s kids shows. Even my mum loved this... she used to watch it with me and pretend she was doing something else...

Would be amazing for this to be brought out on dvd or on youtube (all the episodes)

When you are a kid... bad acting doesnt phases you that much but you kinda notice it more... wonder what those kids are doing now...? Living the high life in LA? Or working at aldi... maybe we will never know

Thanks for posting

[maxthepowerout]
