2 Assignment: Earth
Spun off from: Star Trek
Who’s in it? Gary Seven, a suave James Bond-style time traveller, and his assistant Roberta Lincoln.
What’s it about? Gary Seven is a man with a mission: to keep Earth safe. He’s been plucked from his time and flung far into the future, where he’s been equipped with everything he needs to transport from historical event to historical event to keep the history of our planet ticking along smoothly. On a mission to America in 1968 he encounters Ms Lincoln, a canny secretary who earned his trust, and together they fight time-flaws and save the world!
Only one other person knows Seven’s secret: his cat Isis, whose ability to transform into a beautiful Playboy beauty causes Roberta no end of (maybe jealous) confusion…
Why do we want it? Obviously we’re over 40 years too late to ask for this one, but what the hell. The Star Trek episode “Assignment: Earth” was originally designed to be spun off into its own show, which explains why Seven and Lincoln get so much screentime (and why they’re cast so brilliantly, played by Robert Lansing and Teri Garr respectively).
It’s a fascinating concept; a proto Sapphire & Steel , even, although with far more comedy. And the prospect of a love triangle between Seven, Lincoln and a cat just has to be hilarious…
