Space Precinct – 24. Deathwatch Conclusion
It's a genuine pleasure for me to see Space Precinct end on such a high with Deathwatch Conclusion. Of course it's not perfect - that's the nature of Space Precinct. I think we've all come to accept that the show is fundamentally flawed for all the reasons I've banged on about for the past 24 weeks. But after a year in production on the stages at Pinewood and Shepperton Studios, it's clear from this episode that the production team weren't giving up without a fight. With the series achieving respectable viewing figures on Sky One and later BBC2, why would they throw in the towel now? In April 1995, renewing the show for a second series was a real possibility, although most agree that such a renewal would have come with heavy strings attached. Of course, we all know that no such renewal came, and Deathwatch Conclusion was therefore the end of the line - and that's going to be our focus for today.

Today Brogan and the DCPD come up against their greatest adversary yet... a nun with scabby feet.
Space Precinct – 21. The Fire Within (Part One)
Two-part television serials are usually a win-win situation for both the audience and the producers. In theory, the viewers at home get an extra-long adventure with lots of juicy twists and turns that add up to a richer story, higher stakes, and deeper character development. Meanwhile, the production team can focus their efforts and spend the budget normally set aside for two episodes on creating impressive sets, costumes, and effects that normally wouldn't be economical for a single installment. And if there was any show where the audience were craving richer stories, and the producers needed to spend the budget more efficiently, it was Space Precinct. Now, of course, last week's adventure, Deathwatch, was retroactively turned into the first installment of a two-part story, but it was originally shot as a standalone episode that was extended later. The Fire Within is Space Precinct's first bona fide two-part story, with production on both episodes running back-to-back and the story deliberately paced to span two 45-minute episodes. Today, I'll be reviewing Part One of The Fire Within in isolation, before I watch Part Two. Let's see how effective that shocking cliffhanger is when, like the original viewers in 1995/96, I have to wait a whole week to find out what happens next!

Space Precinct – 20. Deathwatch
It's the episode so good nobody wanted it to end. I went into Deathwatch well aware of its reputation as one of the strongest episodes of Space Precinct, but I was also wary of the novel way in which this story accidentally became a two-part adventure. If you're not familiar, Deathwatch was written and filmed as a single installment that just so happened to have a very ambiguous ending. Only when filming was finished was the decision taken to tie up the loose ends by writing an extra episode - Deathwatch Conclusion. This is why Deathwatch is episode 20 in the series' production order, while Deathwatch Conclusion doesn't come until number 24. Conclusion was filmed over a month later with a script penned by a different writer. In the Security Hazard tradition, I will be strictly following the production order so that I can chart the development of the series as it went before the cameras. So, at the time of writing this, I haven't actually seen Deathwatch Conclusion, and have a few other episodes to review before I return to it. But you'll be pleased to know that I came out of Deathwatch positively excited to see what Deathwatch Conclusion adds. While Deathwatch is certainly a triumph in isolation, my gut reaction is that there's too much good material in there to leave unexplored. It's always a good sign when I finish an episode wanting more.
