    Yeah, it has a dose of Thunderbirds and Inglorious Basterds too. It even manages to take a swipe at Inspector Rex.
    I was surprised to find out it was made in South Australia for the Adelaide Film Festival. My home town.

    And you just gotta love "Antarctica"

    Thanks Mate,
    looks like a series that has it all and a definite 'watcher' for me.
    Isn't it great that here in Oz that SBS regularly has these obscure programs that the mainstream networks wouldn't run (until they become high ratings vehicles)
    SBS sure is special.

    This show looks great!!! I'm sure Gerry Anderson would be proud of this, lol! The model landscape scenarios, even though they are intentionally hokey, are nevertheless well done and look like they had some time and effort put into them IMO. ('thumbs up' smiley)

    I went to the Danger 5 website and it definitely has the 1960s look and feel to it, especially with the music:

    If you want a good laugh, be sure to flip through the 'Danger! Monthly' rag:

    Danger! Monthly Magazine

    Heh! Looking through the pages on the site reminded me of the times back then of me and my friends be standing at the mag rack 'speed reading' through the various issues until the owner started walking towards us and yelling to either buy the danged things or get the hell out of his store.

    I wonder if this TV show'll start a Lava Lamp nostalgia buying binge across the world?

    My 16 yr old loves her Lava Lamp. It sure makes you feel old when the '70s are looked at as the 'good old days' from a current nostalgia perspective. I was as old as her when the '70s started- bugger!!
    Just watched the first episode -- looks like a winner!!

    OMG that magazine is priceless. I hope this series runs its course before people start complaining that it has too much smoking, swastikas, dinosaurs and sexist comments etc.

    I love this clip though. Makes me smile...

    Best. Hitler. Ever.













    Great deliberately bad special effects, too. Loved the P-51.
