Plot: The cherry on top of my evening! I have just solved a puzzle! I have been trying to identify this TV series for years. I live in South Africa and during the early Nineties it was on the state-run TV channel late on Fridays, dubbed into Afrikaans (sort of South African Dutch) as Borg, Christiaan Borg or something like that. Yes, it was corny as hell, atrociously embarrassing, and you felt like an idiot for watching, but the girls were pretty. And their style of dressing... I can't go into details anymore, it's been too long ago, just vague snippets of memories come jumping up. Christiaan alone with some girl on a long journey on some mission...... Like a watered-down James Bond movie...Point is, I could not identify this thing after all these years. Searching for it on the Net just brought religious people popping up. Just now I tried "Borg, Christian Borg. German TV series" and that made all the difference. Thanks to my 'colleague' here who posted one other review otherwise this would never have existed, I suppose!What I well remember was the song, In the Playground of the Joker.It is totally unlikely that this would ever be available on DVD as it is very unlikely to sell more than one copy. Mine.
