Phoenix 5 - Australia's (kinda) Star Trek

I remember this series from my childhood. Mike Dorsey, who plays Captain Roke in the series is probably most famous for playing local council bureaucrat Reg McDonald in the classic 1970s Australian tv soap opera, Number 96 - a very different character than the iron-jawed space captain. Details of the series, including information on the two series that lead up to it - The Interpretaris and Vega - can be found at the Classic Australian TV Series web site..

Here's the title sequence and end credits for Phoenix 5 - the music still appears on various retro-esoterica soundtrack compilations.


If anyone has some of this series and wants to send me a disk or two, drop me an email.
