Gary Martin (voice of Slomo) SUMMARY Former NYPD officer Patrick Brogan is assigned a new beat - he's to join the Space Precinct on the planet Altor, investigating crime in Demeter City with his new partner Jack Haldane and a host of alien colleagues. While Brogan fights crime, his family try to adjust to life on an alien planet. CAPSULE REVIEW A disappointing effort from Gerry Anderson that can't quite seem to make up its mind what it wants to be - is it a children's show or one aimed at adults? This indecision results in a bland and forgettable show that never found an audience. The badly drawn characters and weak storylines didn't help and its demise after just one series was hardly a cause for concern.
