Trivia
For many years it was believed that the the entire series had been lost, even by its creator, Roberta Leigh. In 1997, after Leigh was approached by a video company about a possible DVD release, it discovered that she had kept a complete set of 16mm prints which she had stored away in a lockup decades earlier and forgotten.

8/10

a fine inventive show

Space Patrol is a series that has stayed vividly in the memory so it must have had something special about it. I loved it almost as much as I loved Fireball XL5. It was quirkier somehow and the characters were lively and varied. I remember giant leeks for aliens and the robots that patrolled the ship while the crew were in suspended animation were a treat. It was a show packed with original ideas. I hadn't realised it ran to three series. What I remember most was the immortal catchphrase used every time a voyage was about to begin and the ship had to be powered up - 'Gamma rays on. Yobba rays on'. The series deserved an award simply for coming up with the idea of yobba rays!
