  1. You've gotta admit, "Steve Zodiac" is a great name!

  2. #TalkingPicturesTV is currently showing episodes of the 1962 Roberta Leigh puppet space drama series Space Patrol on Saturday mornings at 0950. #TPTV is also currently screening episodes of Gerry Anderson's Fireball XL5 with which it is interesting to compare the styles of production. #DoctorWho fans may be interested that Marla and Cassie are voiced by #YsanneChurchman - AKA Alpha Centauri.

  6. Question:
    When #FireballXL5 returns to Earth from one of its tours of multiple distant planets, how the hell does it have enough fuel left to land vertically?!
    (Not to mention 'why?')

  7. How did the aquaphibians on the planet Zofeit ( #FireballXL5 ) manage to get to the Earth?
    ( #Stingray )
    Or, did they evolve on Earth first?

  8. @setiinstitute I'm pretty sure that Colonel Steve Zodiac was doing that back in 1962.

  9. Watching #FireballXL5 for the first time since originally broadcast I've noticed a couple of curious things:
    (1) There's an astonishing amount of crossover in terms of music, sound effects, vehicle concepts and even the end titles between it and Gerry's masterpiece U.F.O. (to come eight years later).
    (2) Why the hell has Professor Matic got a West Indies accent? (Had David Graham just come back from an exotic holiday?)

  10. It's a bit sad that this launch method appears to have failed as I've always felt that going up vertically had to waste more fuel.
    Or maybe I just want a #FireballXL5 launch ramp and this was the nearest to date.

  11. A friend of mine made an interesting #3DAnimation #Scifi short inspired by his love of #StarTrek and #FireballXL5. He’s still experimenting but it’s a neat bit of work. #3D #3DArt #animation #AppleMotion #DavinciResolve #daz3d #DazStudio

  12. What if Fireball XL5 landed on LV-426? Illustration for Jim Main‘s illustrated tribute to the work of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson.
