List of Terrahawks episodes

This is an episode guide for the British television series Terrahawks, made for London Weekend Television by Anderburr Pictures and first broadcast from 1983 to 1986 on ITV. A total of 39 episodes, listed here in their recommended broadcast order, were filmed in two production blocks at Bray Studios between January 1983 and August 1984 on a combined budget of £6.4 million. The 26 episodes of the first block aired as two series, the first of which was broadcast between October and December 1983 and the second between September and December 1984. The final 13 episodes were broadcast as Series 3 between May and July 1986.

Series 1 (1983)
Originally, most ITV franchises transmitted the episodes on Sunday afternoons. In November, several franchises moved the series to a Saturday morning timeslot. The last two episodes, "A Christmas Miracle" and "To Catch a Tiger", were broadcast across the ITV network on Saturday mornings. Television South (TVS) followed the network pattern until November, when it moved episodes to Thursdays. In some weeks, London Weekend Television was unable to show an episode, but made up for this by showing double episodes in other weeks. Granada Television held back the series by two weeks and completed its run on 21 January 1984. Tyne Tees Television held it back for over a month and moved the series to Thursdays, completing its run on 16 February 1984. ==Series 2 (1984)==
Series 2 (1984)
Episodes were mostly networked, airing on Anglia, Border, Central, Granada, London Weekend, Tyne Tees, Television South West, Yorkshire and Ulster franchises simultaneously on Sunday afternoons (occasionally in a different timeslot in franchises such as Grampian, Scottish and TVS). ==Series 3 (1986)==
Series 3 (1986)
The 13 episodes of the second production block were networked, airing on all ITV franchises simultaneously on Saturday mornings. Prior to its first appearance on UK television, the whole third series had already been broadcast in Japan, with eight episodes also having aired in the United States. Production codes start at 27 (skipping 26) to resolve the inconsistency in the numbering caused by the two-part pilot episode, "Expect the Unexpected", and to reflect the number of distinct episodes made for the first production block. ==Compilation films==
Compilation films
From 1983 to 1984, six compilation films comprising re-edited versions of episodes from Series 1 were released on VHS in the UK. Each film is approximately 86 minutes in length. ==Audio episodes==
Audio episodes
It was announced on 19 April 2014 that Terrahawks would be returning as a run of full-cast audio dramas featuring original cast members Denise Bryer, Jeremy Hitchen and Robbie Stevens. Anne Ridler who played Kate Kestrel and Cy-Star had died in 2011, and was replaced by Beth Chalmers, and Windsor Davies (since retired) who played Sergeant Major Zero was replaced by Jeremy Hitchen. The new audio stories were produced by Anderson Entertainment in association with Big Finish Productions. The first new series was released in April 2015, followed by a second series in April 2016 and a third in July 2017. Each series consisted of a 5-CD set, with eight episodes across four CDs and a behind-the-scenes documentary on the fifth featuring interviews with the cast and crew.
