I'm not sure how many remember this series that aired in the States in 1983 and in the UK in 1986. I was 8/9 when it was originally broadcast over here. I have recently rediscovered this series, based on Gerry Anderson's SupermarionationTM original, and just last week bought a tape containing two episodes. This area contains all the information and pictures I could get from the two episodes. The series is actually another American re-dub of a Japanese anime, in this case, called Technovoyager. I believe the original aired in Japan in 1980 (although someone may have to correct me on that one). The following pages go through what I know on the subject which stems mainly from the two episodes "Firefall" and "Computer Madness", two episodes based off Earth, so I have not yet seen any Earth-based rescues. |
