- For anyone interested in the process: The original B&W episodes are sometimes quite dark, so I've been experimented in PowerDirector10, using the Lighting Adjustment filter. This pulls out a lot more detail in the shadows, but in the previous video, this made the areas which are supposed to be dark areas come out rather grey. This time I applied a less strong filter, then increased the Contrast a little. A new experiment was to then add a Video Denoise filter, which makes the colourising process a little smoother too. The Colourising is done using VideoColorizerColab.ipynb
"Husky's discovery of a luminous egg on the Saturnian moon of Titan could prove to be the solution to the Martian energy crisis."
The first episode in colour can be seen here

This from Wiki:
Space Patrol is a British science-fiction television series featuring marionettes that was produced in 1962 and broadcast beginning in 1963. It was written and produced by Roberta Leigh in association with the Associated British Corporation.
This was my favourite programme on TV as a kid. The Galasphere is definitely the height of cool, even now in 2021!
Thanks for giving me back my childhood
Wonderful! I was 5 years old watching this series…brilliant stories…fantastic special effects and the puppets are legendary 😲😄👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😉 The restoration is truly excellent…the color is a great new experience 😊 Roberta would be proud of you 👍👍
Great work I never thought I would have ever seen this iconic early series in colour. Thank you so much
Thank you Martin. It's positivity like this that will keep me going for all 39 episodes ;-)
@@IKP1000 Looking forward to seeing those villains from the outer planets in colour, and the spooky plants!
Thanks Iain-my childhood in a nutshell!!-keeps me sane in these strange times!!
Thanks Trevor. I know what you mean! I find myself "retreating" to simpler times more and more these days, though I'm a little too young to remember Space Patrol first time round.
Very good!
Husky does a very good impression of the Galasphere.
The Klingon's around Uranus stole all the Titanite.😮
They really needed to get the Gallospheres right...at on point it was Gallosphere 024 then it was 347
Is this the inspiration for The Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut???!!!! Only joking he probably wrote it before this.
When was this originally aired ❤
I noticed that it was Galasphere 024 when they took off, and Galasphere 347 when they landed on Titan...
Well spotted! According to Wiki, it's a continuity error that pops up now and again:
'In "The Rings of Saturn" and a minority of other episodes, the crew rode the Galasphere 024, rather than the Galasphere 347. The references to Galasphere 024 are, for the most part, continuity errors introduced by the continual re-use of stock footage from the pilot episode, "The Swamps of Jupiter". Although the Galasphere is referred to as 024 during the takeoff programme sequence, it is often later referred to as 347 in the same episode.'
@@IKP1000 Cheers for that explanation. I'm surprised the good Roberta didn't have that fixed herself. Quick cup of coffee, then I'm going to watch those pesky Neptunians get up to their mischief!
@@marklammas2465 Enjoy ;-)
Dog eggs😊
That doesn’t even look like Titan, and you don’t really need a spacesuit to be on Titan.
No, because you would be dead...
@@bloodgrss You do not need a spacesuit on Titan, look it up.
@@greatbritishscarface7464 You need to think when 'looking up' facts. Since the temp on Titan is approx. -292 F and there is no breathable air, you most definitely WOULD need a 'spacesuit' to survive. If you had said a non-pressurized suit, you might have been partly right...
@@bloodgrss Videos told me that spacesuits aren't needed on Titan.
@@greatbritishscarface7464 That's what you get for watching videos uncritically...
