Template:British TV shows project Template:Infobox ITC Productions I have reluctantly removed the theme song lyrics as a copyvio. They can still be found in the Page History. Lee M 00:45, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Please consider joining the project! HowardBerry 19:18, 11 November 2005 (UTC) Star Trek fact removed I decided to remove the following from the trivia section: "In the 2009 Star Trek film the Ending Credits are in the same style as Fireball XL5 with "zooming" of the credits against a background of plants, moons and craters." This could easily been a coincidence and unless there is evidence to support the claim that the Star Trek credit came from Fireball XL5 I think this sentence should be left out of the article.122.106.89.22 (talk) 18:51, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Fireball xl5 dvd.jpg

Image:Fireball xl5 dvd.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 07:10, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Space Patrol (known as Planet Patrol in the US)"?

I remember that show here in NYC and I remember it as Space Patrol, not Planet Patrol. The Tetrast (talk) 03:57, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Trivia

The trivia is overtly dramatic. It's not necessary. We can mention the earthquake, but take out the extreme drama. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.113.229.35 (talk) 01:49, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. It seems completely unecessary, and downplays the information of the article. It is written like a DVD-Box description. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.16.45.103 (talk) 03:40, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

this is not trivia. this information is vitally important to the maintenance of western civilization. do not remove any of the data here, unless you want to share the fate of the these pitiful fools.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 03:43, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Setting

Although Gerry Anderson cited an old Soviet design as the inspiration for the memorable launch sequence of Fireball XL5, a similar launch sequence was depicted in George Pal's When Worlds Collide (film). Anderson was likely thinking of the Keldysh bomber, a design for a suborbital rocket bomber that was essentially copied by the Soviets in the late 1940s from a theoretical design prepared for the Germans by Eugen Sanger during WWII called the Silbervogel. Both the Silbervogel and Keldysh were launched on long tracks through the use of rocket powered undercarriages. Mysteron09 (talk) 17:30, 8 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

List of Planets

This list should be removed, or the text incorporated into the list of episodes, as it is essentially a trivia list. Ross Fraser (talk) 05:04, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
