I remember watching this back in the early 1970s on British TV. Funnily enough I thought about it today. If they had a scene when someone had to appear on a TV screen, they'd ave the actor sat in a box facing the set. They' turn off the powerful studio lights in the box, casting the actor into shadow. But you'd see them moving around in the box!
Wow, does anyone else see it? This is just like Power Rangers! And what is up with that commercial! You got an older cool teen hanging out with little kids 3:31 and handing out "Twisties" that seem to get them twisted? I can't see how you can make him look more like a stereotypical drug pusher selling speed than this.
I recall watching this silly attempt of an Aussie Star Trek style series in the mid 1970s on Australian channel. It was a cheap low budget scifi series made for kids. (Hey man! Have some Twisties too.) Most Australian actors had to speak with the British style accents because TV (international) viewers couldn't understand the Aussie lingo and slang terms. The Australian ockerism is gone today because the younger generation have been corrupted and influenced by all those bloody Yanks and their crappy tv shows. Strufe! Where is Mick Dundee when you need him?

One ad in the ad break... and no on-screen pollution of logos, watermarks and cross promotion. Much different times!
Childhood memory par excellence! thank you!
Oh No! More! I loved this series as a kid! Aussies in Space! What more could you want? A few 'Boffins' to run and mend stuff, like.
Are the full episodes available anywhere?
i have a fair few episodes from beta and vhs recordings back in the 80s but mine are in colour they filmed it on colour film
wish you would post them- I heard both ATN 7 and ABN 2 (It was a co-production) have wiped the originals.
Phoenix 5, Chicago 2. 2nd quarter.
Great memories.
Absolutely right - how stupid of me..., forgot about Jeff Phillips. Gosh he looked like Marty from that angle...!
This looks groovy as hell.
我記得香港買來播放時,易名為(太空爭霸 )
RIP Mike Dorsey.
this is very star trek/lost in space and a bit of doctor who thrown in
Wow! This is wonderfully awful! Love it!
Produced in color, why is the sound only coming out of the right speaker?
Marty Rhone for Twisties !
cool
Love the ping pong balls for eyes at 0:25 :-)
The opening theme sounds very familiar..i am sure it has been sampled by hiphop dj's
Florence Henderson, Llyod Bochner and Tom Cruise?

Power Rangers?
You misspelled Star-Trek.
Oh, no, trapped by Rip Taylor.
Clearly a template for Galaxy Quest.
Twisties?
