Info

Space Precinct is a British television series that aired from 1994 to 1995 on Sky One and later on BBC Two in Britain, and in first-run syndication in the US. Many US stations scheduled the show in late night time slots, which resulted in low ratings and ensured cancellation. The series was created by Gerry Anderson and was a mix of science fiction and police procedural that combined elements of many of Anderson's previous series such as Space: 1999, UFO and Thunderbirds, but with an added dash of Law & Order and Dragnet. Gerry Anderson was Executive Producer along with Tom Gutteridge. One of the series' directors was John Glen who had previously helmed various James Bond movies.

Space Precinct Audience Reviews

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
SanteeFats Unfortunately I bought the entire season and I feel forced to watch it because of that. At first I thought this was basically a cop show sent to space. After watching a few episodes I realized that while that was the case it also was not that good. Very humdrum writing, plots, and acting. It seems that almost all the characters are from the UK and while that is not a problem I found it interesting, especially the Irish accented captain, talk stereotyping!! The special effects, such as there were, are usually lame. This is even before the really good CGI of today. Since I assume (I know) the budget was limited - all the aliens, droids, and cyborgs are all bipedal and humanoid in shape and most look like a version of hammerhead sharks on dry land, some with strange hair to say the least. There is some decent humor though along with all the hammy lines. Shackleford is the main character and acts almost as bad as the rest. His family is played poorly, especially the two kids and the oh so obvious pet. I think I will be passing this poor set on to some other unsuspecting person.
charlieque99 I only watched "SPACE PRECINCT" briefly, but it could've been better.It had an interesting premise. A cop from planet Earth on a transfer to an alien planet in outer space. Great idea.But I thought that the casting choice of Ted Shackelford was terrible. The acting was mediocre. The writing was just okay. The aliens looked ridiculous. This is how you could make the show better.First of all, "SPACE PRECINCT" needs a better title. The title just doesn't roll off the tongue smoothly.Second, "SPACE PRECINCT" needs some A-List or B-List actors. Ted Shackelford? Come on.Third, "SPACE PRECINCT" needs aliens that look authentic. "STAN WINSTON F/X" could've gave this show excellent special-effects (Puppetry, Special F/X make-up). Throw in some Digital-Effects from "DIGITAL DOMAIN" (owned by James Cameron & Stan Winston) and the show would be been taken to a whole other level.Fourth, "SPACE PRECINCT" needs to be on a major network like NBC, ABC, FX, USA, or SCI-FI Channel. If Jonathan Frakes (producer of "ROSWELL") or William Shatner (producer of "TEK WARS") had produced this show, then it would go down in Television history as one of the greats.
Patrick Brogan I've only seen a episode of the show that was a few years ago. I remember that it was a mostly English cast except for the main star. It didn't seem that bad, but it appeared to be a little low-budget, but I never cared much for sci-fi t.v. shows. But when I herd the main character's first name when I first saw the show, I just sank in my seat. But I get a lot of jokes about me and this show. I wonder why?
Lexx-2 Geez, if proof was ever needed that Gerry Anderson doesn't have a clue about writing for an adult audience, this it is it. This has to be the worst science fiction series this decade. The alleged $1.5 million-per-episode price tag is rarely in evidence in this cheap-looking, poorly acted and childishly written farrago. This makes Anderson's "Space 1999" look like "Babylon 5" in comparison. I just hope the rumours of a possible second series are just that.
