Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Fireball XL5 is a British TV show following the missions of spaceship Fireball XL5, commanded by Colonel Steve Zodiac of the World Space Patrol. The show was made in 1962 by Gerry Anderson, featuring Supermarionation, which would be used again in subsequent shows such as Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons — this was the first and to this day only Anderson show to be shown on network television in the US, NBC to be specific (the bastardizations of Thunderbirds briefly shown on Fox Kids in 1994 don't count).It was also the last Supermarionation show to be made in black and white. However, with Anderson's approval one episode was colorized for the Blu-ray release, suggesting that the rest of the series might get the same treatment if it sells well enough.

Diegetic Soundtrack Usage: One episode ends with the crew performing the end title song (which then plays instrumentally over the credits!).

Fighter-Launching Sequence: A pretty awesome one, even by Anderson series' standards.

Explosive Overclocking: It is canon that the title spaceship is not supposed to be run continuously at full power and doing so for a long time will cause the main engines to overheat and explode (but the ship itself does not).

Food Pills What Dr. Venus occasionally cooks up for Steve Zodiac. Also, the infamous oxygen pills that allow anyone to breathe in space.
