Synopsis
Star Maidens is a British-German science-fiction television series created and written by Eric Paice. Utilising a 'battle of the sexes' and role reversal scenario, the planet Medusa, home to a highly evolved and technologically advanced humanoid race, was already ruled by its women when a rogue comet (as seen in the opening credits) knocked it out of its orbit around Proxima Centauri. Drifting through space, the orphan planet's surface became uninhabitable, with the inhabitants surviving in huge underground cities. Jointly produced by Portman Productions, Scottish Television, and Werbung im Rundfunk for ITV, filming took place at Bray Studios and on location in Windsor and Bracknell, Berkshire, and Black Park, Buckinghamshire. The series ran for 13 episodes from 1 September to 1 December 1976.

5. Kidnap1976-10-0625mWhile Shem repairs her ship, Fulvia allows herself to be used as a test subject for a human thought-transference machine similar to the ones on Medusa — but not similar enough, as it causes pain and distress. Who will save her?
6. The Trial1976-10-1325mEarth hostage Dr Rudi Schmidt is forced to perform menial work, on the surface and in the city, but rebels—and other Medusan men join him. He's caught and handed over to Liz to supervise.
7. Test for Love1976-10-2025mAlthough Liz is ideally suited to captain a Medusan spacecraft, her attitude to men isn't appreciated. Octavia has her tested to find out why she doesn't find Medusan men attractive.
8. The Perfect Couple1976-10-2725mAdam and Shem hatch a plot to convince Fulvia to release the human hostages while still allowing the refugee Medusans to remain on earth. It involves Fulvia and Adam setting up home as a couple. What could possibly go wrong?
9. What Have They Done to the Rain?1976-11-0325mRudi labours on the surface when rain starts reacting catastrophically with toxic waste in the soil, threatening the whole civilisation. Rudi knows why, but will the Council listen to a man?
10. The End of Time1976-11-1025mProf Evans visits Medusa to discuss the return of the hostages with the President — who they find apparently dead. Liz is accused of causing her death and sentenced to die on the surface. Can the professor save her?

12. The Creatures of the Mind1976-11-2425mAt Octavia's request, Liz — with Rudi — investigates the abandoned records section. Rudi's searching for a way off Medusa: what Liz finds is far more sinister and distressing, an ancient experiment to create artificial life.
13. The Enemy1976-12-0125mAgreement now reached on the exchange of hostages, the two ships head off from Earth and Medusa. But a deadly ancient enemy of the Medusans has found them. The ships have no weapons: can Rudi come up with a plan to save them all?
