[[wikipedia:Associated British Corporation|ABC TV]], in a co-production deal with American International Pictures, will spend £650,000 on the series — half-hour programmes set in the year 2500. New film techniques to make tiny models of rocket ships and Space cities appear life-size will be used. But actors and actresses, not puppets, as in other I T V Space shows, will take the leading roles. Mr. Howard Thomas, managing director of A B C T V, said last night the series would be part of a £2,000,000 investment in new programmes this autumn. }}
