THE
SOLARNAUTS-1967-Unsold British TV pilot about two astronauts
Power (David Garfield) and Tempo (Derek Fowlds) who prowl around
Mars for their grouchy boss. A green faced alien named Logik (Alex
Scott) causes problems by threatening to destroy the capital of Mars
if he doesn't get the planet’s mineral rights. A woman named Kanda
(Martine Beswick) shows up to help them. They thwart his plan in the
end but he gets away. They have guns that freeze people.
The very toy
like sfx seem like this could have been filmed by Gerry Anderson for
a puppet cast but they decided to substitute humans at the last
minute. Directed by John Llewellyn Moxey who later made many films
and TV episodes both in England and the US including the classic
vampire TV movie THE NIGHT STALKER.
Thanks for reading!
