Colonel Steve Zodiac is in command of Fireball XL5, which patrols space
sector 25. Other members of the crew are prof. Matthew “Matt” Matic, dr.
Venus (medical officer and colonel Zodiac love interest), and Robert the
robot. During their trips in space they will meet every kind of aliens and dangers, in the best tradition of space operas. Excellent, as usual, Derek Meddings’ special effects (particularly effective the Fireball’s lift off), while puppets are still caricatural, typical of a childish target (but the trasparent robot is really original). |

Terribly naïve (and childish) the extra-vehicular activities, where we see colonel Zodiac walking in space without a space-suit or, at least, a space helmet…
