Gerry Anderson Primer: Space Police

Space Police was a project created by Gerry Anderson and Christopher Burr. Only one episode was made, but was never aired on television. The idea for the series was eventually taken and transformed into Space Precinct almost a decade later.

In the mid 1980s I was working at a graphics studio in Henley on Thames and Gerry Anderson came in with lots of artwork for Space Police for us to make copies of for him. He said that it was a new production he was working on. He seemed a really nice guy and I was very pleased to meet him.

[@wayneoates8842]

Peter JF if only you had some of that artwork 🤔😜👍

[@peterjf7723]

@@wayneoates8842 Yes, I really wish I had made extra copies of the artwork. I did not think of it at the time but I had a few CENTURY 21 vinyl records I could have asked him to sign.

[@iandeeley9033]

I've got the DVD box set of Space Preicent for my Birthday and the Space Police episode is on there too! Good yarn for anyone interested!

[@chrisc1553]

The bit were he makes us think he is going to say Chloe Annett was in Red Dwarf then turns out to be Crime traveler was hilarious.

[@albo9246]

Gorgeous. I wish we could get an amalgamated updated series with Space Police and Space Precinct combined.

Shane Rimmer Is Also Played The Voice Of Scott Tracy From Gerry Anderson's Thunderbirds The Original Series In 1965. Thanks Mate. F.A.B. X

[@dannyr2976]

Shane Rimmer also appeared in Superman: The Movie, II and III. Each time as a different character. Also Batman Begins.

[@lukegreen5341]

Oh Yeah That's Right. Shane Rimmer Also Played Commander Carter From Ian Fleming's The Spy Who Loved Me James Bond 007 In 1977 With Roger Moore As James Bond 007. Happy Christmas Danny R Mate. X

[@wayneoates8842]

My favourite! 😀👍

[@MGSBigBoss77]

I'd like to say thank you to you guys on the channel. Long gone are the days where you only heard about Space Police in sci-fi magazines like; Starlog in the US and TV Zone in the UK. Didn't know the pilots were now available on DVD, so cheers for that i'll be soon ordering mine then. Gotta ask you though, why weren't both these unseen pilots for Space Police not packaged with Space Precinct DVD's as bonus extras instead? (shrugs) Anyways cheers, as i feel this info was all sorely missing from the Space Precinct Primer from last year! Thumbs up.

[@GerryAndersonTV]

They’re on the Lost Worlds of Gerry Anderson DVD set 😃

[@AndrewVosper]

some really beautiful special effects there

[@pete-m86]

"when she joined the cast of the hit BBC series ... Crime Traveller" LMAO

[@yccallumgames6321]

I actually might watch space precinct after this I bought the dvd but still not watched it yet

[@ganderson3461]

Ted Shackleford was a fantastic Brogan, but Shane Rimmer would have been great as a jaded other Lieutenant at Precinct 88 as a cameo.

[@jackmessent3490]

I have really been enjoying these Primer series videos. :)

[@thesodorengines]

very interesting shame they never brought Shane Rimmer into the Precinct As a guest star

[@screenPhiles]

What was Rimmer's health like at the time?

[@doomedtolinger2213]

Great stuff!! The info and factoids are terrific; Thanks for the super show...

[@joeguy5989]

I would have been a member of the viewing audience, had these very imaginative ideas made it to American audiences. It would have been refreshing to see such masterpieces.

[@colinp2238]

Chloe Annett played Kochanski in Red Dwarf after Clare Grogan left.

[@thebritishengineer8027]

I would have liked to have seen the original Pilot & Space Precinct mixed together with Shane Rimmer Earth Sargent and his NYPD Cops brought into to Altor to help the locals quell a growing crime wave. Keeping the dirty look of the original, it would have been great to see the show a little more serious with Demeter portrayed as a mining town that saw the Mob (humans) move in take to take advantage. Taking on more of a look of Outland.

[@JohnWilliamNowak]

My friends and I were speculating why Bats had a different uniform; so it sounds like she was from a different department assigned to assist?

[@Prestomeco202]

Another example of the creativity and persistence of Anderson and his team. And now I know where George Lucas got the inspiration for his villain, Jabba the Hut.

[@johnvriends8564]

Love Police into Tall Boots!!

[@stevenlornie1261]

Great shout out to garth marenghi.

[@josephadam291]

how about a second series of space precint reunion

[@theenigmaticst7572]

Kudos to the Garth Marenghi shout out too!

[@josephadam291]

its a shame space police wouldn't be done as full tv series but space precint was idea

[@wwetnabamafan194]

Because of Lego

[@HiddeneyeInc]

I lovef this show. They left it on a cliffhanger and it sucks.

[@thomasgrogan7296]

If you must know Chloe annet is the actress who played the role of Kristine Kochanski in seasons 7&8 of the sci fi sitcom Red Dwarf, so being in a pilot for a tv show about a police 👮‍♀️ force in space wouldn’t be all that surprising to her.

[@danielwilliamson6180]

6:05 Chloe Annett from Red Dwarf.

[@justinplayfair4638]

Does anyone know the names of the actors playing Brogan and Haldane in the reshot Space Police: Reloaded scenes?

[@Daktangle]

"V Lan". I see what they did there!

[@leahpowell4581]

Chloe Annette is amazing in red dwarf and a very similar character but that's ok

[@sniperic1]

I watched this the other day and I liked tom, dick and harry, it was a bit cheesy but it was ok

[@darryllharden9141]

Space Police entered production in 1986, And was the very first step on the road that would eventually lead to 'Space Precinct' "Alright,Settle down!". This 55 minute pilot episode but this request falls on deaf ears little does the security codes ttha towards a bridge that isnt there anymore save the train came to Anderson in 1983 w'Terrahwaks' hile on a flight back on New York wern't with American audiences were objecting to alien creature were absoulutely fine also noticing tconcep the popularity of and Tony Barwick titled Star Laws now long time collabrator trio Tom dick Harry spoon or stop galactronic puppets f human actors some scenes however they too switches made skilfully enough half refuses clear by the story's can't and join in the networks gradually refined the best make of the decade reload Chuck Brogan visual these to show off Haldane Beasley and fredo from the in the only did David healey Kate Harper many episode Andy Dawson reloaded Bruce whole Waldron direct Paul Nanette shame itself however sci-fi the lost two hours of glamour permanly Steve Begg nice starring role in a however smallthousand as for closer to infamous overdubber flaw can be Anderson's in space idea as entree 1994 but that's another story Watch...this...space!.

[@garyhosty9874]

Is there where Mr Donald Trump got his idea ?

[@midpuma513]

Crime Traveller was mega cringe

[@nowheremedia329]
