Reality With Sci-Fi

[StuOz · 27 August 2016]

Vincent and company invent a jamming device that will stop the alien saucers in flight.

There is some obvious padding to fill the 51 minute running time, note the footage of the vintage Ford car driving down that road to the base.

Roy Thinnes reveals there is more to his acting ability than previously seen in Counter-Attack and there are sci-fi thrills with a ray gun and a saucer crashing into the sea.

An all-round good episode that combines 1960s reality with 1960s sci-fi, which is the key to what makes this series so good. The same mix worked so well with the earthbound Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea series (even if that was set in the 70s and 80s).
