We’re in that liminal space between Christmas and New Year. It’s a period akin to Crossroads to Crime or the second season of Space: 1999 – it’s definitely there but we generally prefer to sleep through it. During this Thunderbird-2-sized time-void, we often reflect on the year that’s gone by and look ahead to what’s coming up in our next solar orbit. So join me for a nibble on some Security Hazard leftovers and enjoy a second helping of the tasty bits.

Ep 35 – The Perfect Gerry Anderson Christmas
Celebrate the festive season with Jack and Ben! We’re talking about the incredible toys that would top our Gerry Anderson Christmas wishlist. Will we be asking Santa for a Tracy Island or an Eagle Transporter? And what is lurking inside the boys’ Christmas stockings?
Space Police: Star Laws REVIEW
Before there was Precinct 88, Officer Jane Castle, and the planet Altor, there was Precinct 44 East, Officer Cathy Costello, and the planet Zar XL5 – to name but a few of the differences between the 1994 television series Space Precinct, and its original pilot episode filmed 8 years prior, Space Police: Star Laws. A lot can change in 8 years. While there are several recognisable elements of Space Police that made it into Space Precinct, I really feel like we’re assessing two completely different beasts, produced in two different eras of Gerry Anderson’s career.
Ep 31 – The Space Precinct Special
After an extensive series of episode reviews on the Security Hazard blog, Jack and Ben are now sitting down to perform a thorough study of Gerry Anderson’s Space Precinct, the live action sci-fi cop show from 1995 full of aliens and adventure. We’ll be digging into our thoughts and feelings on the show as a whole, ranking every episode in a grand tier list, and discussing the second season that never was. This is going to be an extra-long, bumper edition of The Security Hazard Show celebrating 30 years of Demeter City’s finest!

Space Precinct – 1. Double Duty
If there’s one thing that’s going to put you off even attempting to watch Space Precinct, it’s the fact that it doesn’t have a proper first episode to hang its police cap on. Double Duty was the first script to enter production because it was one of the least ambitious on the slate at the time, and the complex production of Space Precinct (still known as Space Police at that point!) needed time to warm up. Obviously the 1986 pilot film Space Police: Star Laws doesn’t count as a first episode because it barely shares any elements at all with the series it became. Gavin Scott’s 1992 pilot script The Max Factor evolved the concept established in Star Laws but that also went unfilmed.
