-The second is a puppet series from the [[UK|United Kingdom]], made in [[1962]], written and produced by Roberta Leigh, featuring the vocal talents of Dick Vosburgh, Ronnie Stevens, Libby Morris, Murray Kash and Ysanne Churchman. It concerns an interplanetary police force of the year 2100, focusing on the crew of Galasphere 347 under the command of Captain Larry Dart. This series is also known by its US title ''Planet Patrol'' to avoid confusion with the first series. Leigh had previously worked with [[Gerry Anderson]] on chilldren's puppet series, and there are some obvious similarities between ''Space Patrol'' and Anderson's ''[[Fireball XL5]]'', although ''Space Patrol'' was made on a lower budget. For many years it was believed that all but a handful of episodes had been destroyed, until a complete cache of [[16mm film|16mm]] prints was discovered. Despite their scratched and grainy condition, they were of sufficient historic interest to warrant a DVD release. Selected episodes were issued on DVD in [[2001]], and the complete series was released in [[2003]]. These are on region 0 discs and can therefore be viewed internationally.
-The third is a translation from the German, ''Raumpatrouille'' (aka ''Raumschiff Orion'' or ''Spaceship Orion''), and was a 7 part space opera made in 1966. At the time it was the most expensive show ever made in the country, a major factor in the series not continuing! It did, however, spawn over a hundred follow-up novels and is as fondly remembered in Germany as ''[[Star Trek]]'' is in the US and UK.
