Space Force Two (ep06/06) Unto Death and Beyond
0Written by Charles Chilton, it was originally intended to be a sequel to his Journey into Space series (broadcast in the 1950s), using the cast which had just made a one-off revival of that series ("The Return From Mars"); while this idea was dropped late in the development of the serial, the four characters are nevertheless essentially the same as those from the earlier series, albeit with different names.
The second series, known as Space Force Two, featured the same main characters. Both series seem to initially mirror the first two Journey Into Space stories before branching off into quite different plots.
Space Force is the name of the team's spaceship, rather than the name of an organisation. It should be mentioned that it is nothing to do with that terrible American TV series of the same name.
Main Cast:
Captain Saxon Berry ... Barry Foster ... (Jet Morgan)
Lodderick Sincere ... Tony Osoba ... (Steven Mitchell)
Lemuel "Chipper" Barnet ... Nicky Henson ... (Lemmy Barnet)
Professor Magnus Carter ... Nigel Stock ... (Doc Matthews) Initially, the first series was simply known as Journey into Space, with the subtitle A Tale of the Future added by the Radio Times, but within the BBC it became known as Journey to the Moon.
The series was set in 1965 (the year in which Chilton believed humans would first walk on the Moon) and was first broadcast in 1953–1954 on the BBC Light Program. The series was originally intended to have 12 episodes (one source claims 8 episodes), and 5.1 million people tuned into the first episode, but the first four episodes (which took place on Earth) did not prove very popular, and the audience soon shrank to fewer than 4 million.
But once the rocket set off for the Moon in episode 5, the audience reaction was much more favorable. The series was extended to 18 episodes, and by the time the final episode was broadcast, 8 million people were tuning in.
