Space Patrol: Programme Guide.

Commander Buzz Corry and Cadet Happy patrol a future where a suspicious signal can lead to a dangerous mission. Space Patrol combines space travel with the rhythm of a pursuit or rescue adventure.

Broadcast history.

The American programme developed alongside the television production in the early 1950s. Its ABC radio history continued into 1955; it should not be confused with the later British puppet television programme sharing the name.

Cast and creative team.

Ed Kemmer plays Corry and Lyn Osborn plays Happy. Mike Moser created the series and Lou Huston wrote adventures for it. Supporting actors often change roles rather than carrying one television character unchanged into every radio story.

Where to begin.

The Fugitive From Tolarma · The Monster From The Past

These available recordings offer an introduction to this collection. Their current publication dates are separate from historical broadcast dates.

An interesting detail.

The same leading performers worked in both media, but a radio adventure remains a performance designed for sound. Spaceship effects and spoken explanations supply information that television could show.

Listening appeal.

Try The Fugitive from Tolarma or The Monster from the Past. These available adventures introduce the partnership without requiring an opening chapter from a long novel.
