This was on TV around the same time that I had Glandular Fever at 9 years old. Glandular Fever is very like tripping on Acid. Set me up for the rest of my life…
A funny edit! I have watched quite a few Space Patrol episodes and although it seems similar to Fireball XL5 in some ways, parts of it are darker than any Anderson series apart from Captain Scarlet of course. There was a Space Patrol episode where Larry, Husky and Slim visit a planet of light where all living beings are light beams. They bring a light beam cat to Earth, but it has died by the time they get back. One of the later episodes had Venusian Professor Borra killed, nothing like this would happen in Fireball XL5!
Glad you enjoyed! I'd never thought about it but you're right, it was rather dark - how about the Colonel sending 40 space freighters loaded with atomic weapons to eliminate the Uranians? Seems a bit harsh! For it's day, and it's juvenile audience like me, it was pretty sophisticated. I also loved the simple electronic music, although it was nothing compared to the later efforts of Barry Gray who wrote and performed the XL5 theme and of course the beautiful and stirring Thunderbirds theme.

Something horrible came from Uranus... "so I did see a light on Uranus after all, you certainly did, and I don't you hope you don't see it again" Time to send a probe to Uranus... 😛
So what is the name-shifting GPO Tower / Post Office Tower / Telecom Tower ( 2:19 ) called in the year 2100 -- the Uranus Tower? This stuff is giving me recurring nightmares about receiving the dreaded proctological diagnosis, "Uranus looks dead as a doormat [sic]"!
Finally found the singing space ship I remember as a kid
Back then you could say the name of a planet without everyone giggling, and don’t call me Pop!

Lots of vile things come from Uranus, usually after eating chili.
Moon walking robots, computers reading paper tape, nostalgia for sure.
this is a total gem
Bottoms up chaps.👍
Unfuckingbelieveable. No wonder we ended up like we did.
Can`t stop laughing Uranus how many times did they say it.
The walking, talking plants of Uranus? The mind boggles.
A Vegan nightmare!
"There's nothing on Uranus, nothing!"
"Except a shitload of juvenile jokes about people's rear ends!"
isn't that what the Internet is for?
The lesson of this episode is don't let Larry Dart anywhere near ur anus.😁

I always (and still do) love the robot control, door opens, robot walks past, door closes.
@@Beanick As a kid I thought the music was the noise the galasphere made when it was flying, like those spinning tops that made a noise as they spun.
Captain Dart and his men are in orbit around Uranus,
Of course they are, just waiting for the opportunity to strike.
Only 3K have seen this .... feeling lonely ! I liked this a lot when kid ...
Well Done!
attention / attention - uranus is now visible

The way that Uranus is pronounced by them :P
Wonder if the voice actors were actually giggling all the time with those lines :P

Keep clear of Uranus
Investigate yuranus colonel :)
"He said Uranus!"

You don't want them to probe Uranus?
Better than having 40 atomic warheads sent to Uranus!
picked it like a nose!
how does uranus look ? Pretty much like the president, only cleaner and more tasteful.
this city is completely out of this world.
So they had colonoscopies in the 60s?
Galisphere 347!
omg hahahaahahaha oh mate geeeeziz
Some people like Uranus, l think it stinks. Har har !
Doesn't get any better than this. Trump's wife really excels here.
Of course! I hadn't made that connection, they even look the same (more or less). Nicely spotted!
this is awfully childish - also made me laff so much I had a little accident
So why did a planet get such a bum name ???
It is pronounced wrong it should be ur annus with the ann as in annul nt ain.
