- TriviaAfter the series ended, the BBC wiped the master tapes, common practice at the time. There were no known recordings of the show at all until 1993, when relatively low-quality NTSC copies of the episodes were found at an American TV affiliate (the show was a co-production between the BBC and the "Twentieth Century Fox Television Division in association with the ABC Owned Television Stations" and the latter had retained copies). All examples in existence of the programme are taken from these tapes.

Featured review
Considering Star Trek was made 7 years earlier, this series is awful
When I write this review I try to take into account that the original Star Trek was produced 7 years earlier than this. In light of that fact and the studio awareness of what the then 'modern' viewer expected in their 'future' it falls VERY short in production values.
The acting is, as well, quite dreadful and the writing is no better.
The scenarios are childish and fit for audiences in the 50's.
All in all, it is what Britain was capable of producing at that time...given a few more years they went on to make some absolutely splendid shows but sadly, this is a poor throwback to the paper rockets of years ago.
Don't waste your time unless you want to see how they were UNABLE to reach the heights Star Trek met.
