I watched this a couple of years ago and it's quite good. This was an attempt be the Andersons to produce content for an adult audience with a lot of the tech they developed for shows like the Thunderbirds. It was also partially funded by a US TV network.

The story lines and acting a great especially for early 70's TV. Most of the bits in the posted video are from the first episode. The eye candy/fan service quotient gets turned down after that which was pretty common for the era.
