The Boy from Andromeda - The Guardian
Television (Full Length Episode) – 1990
On a holiday to Mt Tarawera, teenager Jenny (Katrina Hobbs) finds an odd shard of metal. In this third episode of the kids sci-fi series she meets its owner: 'Drom' — a survivor of an alien mission to deactivate a planet-annihilating space gun (aka Tarawera itself). They find themselves under siege from a Predator-like 'Guardian' of the gun. If Drom and Jenny and local kids Tessa (Vigil star Fiona Kay) and Lloyd (future What Now? presenter Anthony Samuels) can't defeat the mechanoid, catastrophe is imminent! The South Pacific Pictures series found international sales and cult repute.
It’s my planet so it is my fight ... can we be friends?– Jenny (Katrina Hobbs) to Drom (Jane Cresswell)
