Space Patrol - 1960's - Puppet/Marionette TV Show

First episode of the puppet/marionette show from 1963, which was called "Planet Patrol" in the US. Similar to the Gerry Anderson shows, Fireball XL5 and Supercar from around the same time - this show looks dated now, but is still quite fun to watch. Ran for a 39 episode series that spanned a few years, so may upload some more if people are interested. In this episode...... Captain Dart, Husky the Martian, and Slim the Venusian are sent to Jupiter to find out why contact has been lost with a scientific expedition. They come upon a band of criminals who are killing numbers of Lumis, the only wild animals on the planet. Playlist for the show is here: https://rumble.com/playlists/KOtiNryHz54 Upscaled to 720p

I am uploading in the order that the episodes were broadcast, so this may differ from some later DVD order. In this episode called "The Dark Planet".......... Larry Dart and his Galasphere crew have an exciting and and dangerous time when they are sent to bring home one of the mysterious plants of Uranus. A strangely very un-PC series, that would struggle today - and would offend many that wish to find such offence. Is much darker in theme in places compared to other similar type shows from the period. But it is of its time, and refreshing in that respect.

Turns out that Neptune has made the cloud in an attempt to blackmail Earth into sending slaves to their planet.
