3 out of 5out of 10



Hoorah: The versatility of DVD makes viewing the episodes better than ever, and the two 35mm episodes are superb in quality. We get all the video interviews in one go and a great stills gallery (30 in all, though we think one is a duplication).

Boo: A rather bad edit in ‘Husky Becomes Invisible’ to get rid of the fade out/fade in between the two parts. Something has happened to Raeburn’s head in the first still (like... it’s not there!). But not to worry, this still is postcard no.9 of those given away with the videos.

We close on the blazing sun in space before fading to a view of ringed planet Saturn. A gyroscope-like ship, enclosed in a flickering bubble of energy, speeds past us and beyond accompanied by almost musical radiophonic tones. We see it pass the Moon before spinning away to the twilight of the Earth's curved horizon... As we hear a grinding rhythmic electronic score, we see scenes of a futuristic city under a dramatic sky. Some buildings and antennae rotate, light pours from other structures as bullet-shaped and spherical vehicles move rapidly back and forth... 'This is Earth - the year 2100. New York is the headquarters of Space Patrol and men from Earth, Mars and Venus live and work there as guardians of peace. This is the story of those men, whose courage and daring make the universe safe for us all.'
