"OKAY, VENUS?" "OKAY, STEVE." "RIGHT. LET’S GO!"

The year is 2062, and World Space Patrol ship Fireball XL5 is assigned to Sector 25, where intrepid pilot Steve Zodiac, ably assisted by Doctor Venus and Professor Matthew Matic, faces such dangers as planetomic missiles, explosive gas clouds, space spies, and alien races both warlike and benign.

      Fireball XL5

      I remember the series well and now that it's in colour makes it all the more special so it's a thumbs up from me.

      A great jumping on point for those tentative about watching a black and white series.

      A great quality restoration and colourisation, giving a nice insight into how the series could have looked. Although on the face of it a strange choice for colourisation, A Day in the Life of a Space General is actually a great choice given its conclusion, making it a quite fitting tribute to the series as a whole. Add to that the Gunfight on Main Street episode from Four Feather Falls in HD and A Wonderland of Stardust behind the scenes documentary and this is definitely a must-buy for Supermarionation fans!

      Bought In Anticipation

      Looking forward to viewing XL5 in colour for the first time soon Currently acquainting myself with Joe 90 for the first time on dvd & Captain Scarlet on Blu-ray The job Network did on the latter is fantastic so I’m confident my new purchase will be too Nice to see Four Feathers included too on its 60th anniversary again polished up by Network Great service as usual Tim -cheers
