    This episode was particularly dark so I had to brighten it in PowerDirect 10 before putting it through Deoldify. This has resulted in some of the scenes being rather "washed out" and the highlights blown, but it is better than the dark version.
    The first episode in colour can be seen here

    This from Wiki:

    Thank you for bringing Space Patrol back on colour. I am now 68 years old and still think it it the greatest.

    I was six years old when this series came out. I remember feeling quite scared/unsettled when I was watching it 😂.

      I'm not bloody surprised... I'm seeing it for the first time as a 45 year old man... And I feel scared & unsettled watching it.!
      But I'm really enjoying this show.!

    New Zealand here : we never had Space Patrol, we had all the Gerry Anderson programmes, instead. I first learned of Space Patrol a couple of years ago when I came across a Space Patrol Annual in a charity shop.. My guess is it came from the UK with a British child immigrant.
    It seems to me that the ,Space Patrol puppeteers had a better system for making their marionettes "walk". Much better and smoother than on Fireball XL5 or Thunderbirds.
    Seeing the Galaspheres flying is also something that is very well done. The Space Patrol Annual did not have good illustrations of its propulsion field, though.

      I never realised this was made by someone else but always thought it looked better than Supercar. I guess they copied Gerry Anderson because of his programmes being so popular but came up with a more realistic way of making the puppets move. I think I had a Space Patrol annual certainly some kind of book or comic with colour photos of the set during production. Now seeing these in colour for the first time even though uploaded a while ago youtube bot works in a mysterious way putting these on my list after watching colourised film of Titanic.

      That's because Space Headquarters is in London. And it's often cloudy over London! The city includes the London Post Office Tower model.

    Very clever, but it’s not how I remember it when I was a child. So a bit pointless.
