When a ship lost a decade earlier reappears in orbit around the Moon, Dare, Digby and Peabody investigate. Stars Ed Stoppard.
It’s a year since Dan Dare and his crew helped rid Earth of The Mekon’s army of ruthless robots, although the evil alien is still at large.
After disappearing a decade ago, experimental ship the Nautilus suddenly reappears orbiting the Moon, so Dan, Digby and Peabody are sent to investigate.
Clues point to Saturn being involved in some way, but the new threat to Earth comes from far closer to home...
