Where to Watch Fireball XL5
- RichardOctober 18, 2025Saw this one as a kid on TV. Black and white puppets flying through space, Steve Zodiac at the helm and Robert the Robot sounding like a tin can with attitude. Venus was the doctor, Professor Matic had the brains and the World Space Patrol made it all feel official. The sets were cardboard, the strings were visible and the charm was off the charts. Every episode felt like a space mission with tea and biscuits. Didn’t care that it looked cheap, felt epic. The theme song still lives rent free in my head.
