Scarcely in the same league as Verity Lambert's sixties work as the original producer of 'Dr Who', and certainly not the sort of film on which you'd expect to see the name of the director of 'Get Carter' and 'Croupier' (who had intended it merely to be the warm-up for a much more prestigious subsequent project). But his previous film HAD been the lurid remake of 'Flash Gordon', and as he himself observed the money's all up there on the screen.
Pretty bad, but not quite the car crash that usually ensues when TV stars are let loose on the big screen, and there's definitely a mild attempt at satire; such as the depiction of the bumbling authorities and the perils involved in sneezing in a spacesuit.
