Phoenix Five! Like Fireball XL5 only with real people.

Whenever I meet an Aussie of the right age I ask if they remember the show, and they never do, where as 40-something Yorkshire people always do. Apparently it never got repeated in Australia, but was practically the only imported SF series to be shown in the Yorkshire region in the early 70s.

Adventures Of The Seaspray, or was that Canadian.

Know I am going a bit off thread here but anyone recall the Canadian series,"Doctor Simon Locke."

I do ... it morphed into a series called Police Surgeon ... the star was Sam Groom IIRC.

Not forgetting Sons and Daughters and A Country Practise. I too would like to see Boney again, the star James Laurenson was often seen on our screens in many a British drama series too.
