'Moon Rangers' was a show within a show realised by Century 21 Films for the 2019 'Endeavour' episode, "Apollo". A homage to Supermarionation series like 'Thunderbirds', 'Stingray' and 'Fireball' XL5, clips of 'Moon Rangers' were woven in to an intriguing mystery set in a studio not too dissimilar from AP Films.
In this video, you will see the completed 'Moon Rangers' sequences alongside behind the scenes interviews with the cast and crew followed by a look at the process of filming puppetry and special effects action for the series that never was.
Broadcast between 2012 and 2023, the ITV detective drama series 'Endeavour' was a prequel to the long-running 'Inspector Morse' series. It starred Shaun Evans as the young Endeavour Morse beginning his career as a detective constable, and later as a detective sergeant, with the Oxford City Police CID. It was the third Morse series following the original Inspector Morse (1987–2000) and its spin-off, Lewis (2006–2015).
A number of the puppets from 'Moon Rangers' went on to be used in Century 21 Films series' 'Nebula-75' – do you recognise any familiar faces?
