This show was called Planet Patrol in the US. When I was a kid, it came on at 3PM, the same time I would get out of school. I would run home as fast as I could to watch it. I'd alway miss the first 10 minutes or so. Thanks for putting up these vids.
I remember as a kid my friends used to like to hear my impersonation of that Martian guy "Gamma rays....ON....Yobba rays......ON!" or "Hundreds and hundreds of sausages!"
of course we all remember Space Patrol and galasphere 347. Shame the clip didn't show the robot walking backwards and forwards when the ship went over to "robot control"

Ah yes, one of the hairy men of Mars! The Venusians were distinctly camp, the Martians distinctly butch!

Looms large in my childhood memories. Does anyone else remember the Martian character saying "I'm hungarrrry"?

It's been some 50 years, but I still remember this series, and whenever I flick a switch I still say to myself "Gamma rays.... on. Yobba rays.... on"

I would love to see the entire series... From what i know, it was very clever and imaginative, in spite of the reduced budget.

Yeah. Now they've been superseded by "Hoodie" rays!

@clavius500 Ha! I know what you mean. I used to get Space Patrol sweet cigarettes from the shop.

This was recreated by me - which is why it is now in colour! (I swiped Mars from a Hubble Telescope image...)

@FlyingArkwright Yes! The Robots! As they walked, the background music went something like (Errhem...) "Diddle-Lo-Da-Dim-Dum--dum-dum..." I think.

Yes I remember. This is the first time I've seen it in colour. As a very young child I used to find the music quite scarey
