Space Precinct is a British television series that aired from 1994 to 1995 on Sky One and later on BBC Two in Britain, and in first-run syndication in the US. Many US stations scheduled the show in late night time slots, which resulted in low ratings and ensured cancellation. The series was created by Gerry Anderson and was a mix of science fiction and police procedural that combined elements of many of Anderson's previous series such as Space: 1999, UFO and Thunderbirds, but with an added dash of Law & Order and Dragnet. Gerry Anderson was Executive Producer along with Tom Gutteridge. One of the series' directors was John Glen who had previously helmed various James Bond movies.

Ehirerapp Waste of time
Konterr Brilliant and touching
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
JoeB131 I think this show exposes a lot of the flaws of television.The first was they had to make it a "cop show", and then rolled every Cop Show Cliché they could find into it. So they have these aliens, but then proceed to make them just like humans in nearly every way.Let's talk about the aliens. They had two primary races, both portrayed by animatronic masks- The Tarns and the Creons. Except they act kind of like Americans, despite being aliens. They really didn't have anything unique about them. One Creon character even had an Irish borough, for no other reason that cops in NYC have Irish broughs. The Tarns could have been a little more interesting, they had telepathic powers. And did nothing with them.Sorry, compare Tarns to Narns (from Babylon 5). WHich race do you find more interesting? Good actors and interesting stories count for a lot more than cheap gimmicks.Some of the conventions seem truly shoe-horned into the series, like the police station being up in space. And Brogan's family lives in another space station. Because they're in space.Okay, the large part of the problem is Gerry Anderson, who inflicted such sci-fi abortions on us as Space:1999 and Project UFO. He never learned that character is more important than setting.
miles-149 Jeff Brunner, who ran multi million dollars of investment capital for Howard Gilman (Gilman Paper Company) was talked into producing this series. Jim Goldman, a Wall Street investment banker told Brunner that this was the next Teenage Ninja Deal. Brunner was to invest Gilman's money and Gilman was non too happy about any of this happening. Brunner funded this show with $27,000,000 He, Gilman was a lover of Ballet and funded much in that world. Grove TV ran by Richard Grove completed the deal buy getting the show cleared in 97% of the Country. Amazingly it was cleared at 1 thru 3AM when the target audience as fast asleep. Even better was a ploy that was sheer comedy. Brunner paid WPIX Channel 11 to play the show on Saturday night at 11:30PM. Need I remind anyone that this was up against Saturday Night Live and Brunner paid $50,000 for the time. Brunner had never watched anything other than PBS on TV and was completely clueless. Brunner was fired and all the people who worked for him were also. I have files of paperwork sitting 3 feet from me as a remembrance. The worst part of all was Gilman Paper of St. Mary GA is no longer as a direct result. Thousand of people lost their job.
orangelifer I can't imagine that show cost over a million per episode! Yes,it was one of the worst shows ever.But so what? I don't think it was hiding it! It was like a (slightly) more adult version of the Power Rangers,with cheap costumes,cheesy scripts,and all you would expect of a B movie.But it was fun.Of course,I'm biased,because when the series ran I was 13,and developed a crush on Rob Youngblood,one of the actors on the show.Never the less,i think it was good as what it was,one of the most absurd sci-fi series ever.The highlight of the series:Two against the rock.At least I think that was the title.My favorite episode,no contest!
mccarthystuart I can definitely see how "Space Precinct" was such a commercial disaster when it first came out.For starters, the quality of the special effects was not very consistent at all. On one hand, you've got fairly slick, up-to-the-minute digitally-aided effects, then you've got live action shots using models, which wouldn't look out of place on "Red Dwarf" (which is what this show reminded me a lot of) Another thing that really ruined the show were those cheap-looking sets.Secondly, what the hell was the point behind that bloody pointless "episode introduction" It makes the programme look even more like a kiddies' show.Another problem I had with "Space Precinct" was the rather unsuccessful way in which it was trying to appeal to both young and old viewers-for example, take the ham-fisted way in which more adult subjects were handled in the show (such as racism, religion, and other adult-themed issue) "Space Precinct" was a rather hit-and-miss affair that had so much more potential. Even "Thunderbirds" was far superior to this.Don't give up your day job, Mr. Anderson.
