I read the Phantom comic strip since I was about 4 and continued to do so for many years, so I was not too fond of this show's incarnation of him.

But yes, the show did have an awesome theme song.

I may have seen the show on a video-cassette when it was broadcast in the 1980s, even Flash Gordon was featured amongst the team.

I still currently watch the program each week-end on Film24.

The best part of that theme song was Mandrake's introduction!
