Synopsis

Phoenix Five is a low-budget Australian science fiction television series produced in 1970 by Artransa Park in association with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. Twenty-six half-hour episodes were produced, and the series originally aired between 10 January and 3 July 1970. The series was repeated on Seven Network in Australia, and broadcast internationally throughout the 1970s. The series followed the adventures of the crew of the galactic patrol ship Phoenix Five, "the most sophisticated craft in the Earth Space Control Fleet." This handpicked team: Captain Roke, a typical captain with a solution to every problem; Ensign Adam Hargraves, a young space cadet always ready to shoot first and skip the questions; compassionate Cadet Tina Culbrick; and their computeroid Carl; roamed the planets protecting galactic citizens and warding off the repeated plots and attacks of the evil humanoid Zodian and a rebel scientist Platonus.

Reviews

barrydefoyle Amazed to see comments from others remembering this program, since even dedicated tube-heads of my acquaintance (some of them professionals !) don't recall this one. It must have a been a regional ITV distribution thing in the U.K. I can vouch for the fact that it was screened on Ulster Television (UTV) pre-1974 (though I'm not sure exactly when).Unfortunately, my recollection of it extends to little more than the unforgettable title and that a solid part of its appeal lay in the fact that the titular ship was relatively easy to make from old cardboard toilet rolls. This belongs to a select group of T.V. shows ('Ace of Wands' and 'The Tomorrow People' spring to mind) that you could emulate and play outdoors - often on 'bicycling' spacecraft !
info-5918 God...the only Aussie to comment on this show!. Only remember it when I was really young, but it made an impression on me as a kid. Not sure what adults thought of it. I remember the model shots being a bit dodgy, and it had freaky futuristic sounding music.I'm sure it would of made Dr who look very sophisticated! :-). Would love to see clips from it. No one in Australia ever mentions this show, and I daresay not many would remember it. The only person I know of that knows it is my g/f, who is a hardkore SF fanatic and knows everything. Hmmm... wonder if Youtube has it? Australian Sci Fi has come a long way since this...thankfully!
andrewbrighty Another North-Easterner who remembers Tyne-Tees showing Phoenix Five. I don't think I was at school when it was on so we must be talking 1972-ish. Apparently everything concerning old tapes of P5 has been binned in Australia, but someone on a certain website that hosts old video clips claims to have 3 episodes on VHS. Here's hoping we may at least see something sometime. Yes it was wooden and cheap but certainly not nasty. On the face of it it looks like a carbon copy of Star Trek, but it had a better theme!! I too remember the heads that lit up when they talked...always taking the mickey out of the villain (Zodian?)(Was the female presenter you mentioned Lyn Spencer???)
Mappy the Mouse There are very few things I remember about this show. One of the things was the theme.... Which stuck in my head for no readily apparent reason. I can still hum it today, even though it has probably been 30 years since it has ever been seen by the public. Another was the apparently sparse sets requiring a lot of metaphorical plots.... Which they probably weren't, but that is all that still exists in the old brain.I'd like to see this again, even if it is probably creakier than Doctor Who at its low-budget 60's zenith. I really want to know if these few scraps of memory were right.... It still exists in its entirety in the Australian Archives....
