Space Patrol (UK)

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

Space Patrol was a 1963 British Puppet series, in the vein of the Gerry Anderson shows of the time (but nowhere near as known, although it is confused with Fireball XL5). This one focused on a 22nd-century police force, who were headquartered on a space station called Galasphere 347. Despite all claims to the contrary, this one was the first show with an electronic theme (beating out that more famous tune by seven months). It ran for two seasons and a total of 39 episodes. It was retitled Planet Patrol in America, for obvious reasons.
