SpaceVets

Space Vets was a 39-episode children's sci-fi show about a motley crew of misfit intergalactic space vets,[1] broadcast from 1992 to 1994. The concept was devised by Stephen Edmondson and Jerome Vincent, but the characters were created by writer Christopher Middleton, and most of the 39 episodes written by him, too. Music for the series was produced by former Doctor Who composer Dominic Glynn.
