Summary
During the autumn of 1956, viewers who followed the serial were taken into The Strange World of Planet X across a run of seven weekly episodes. Written by actress, novelist, and scriptwriter Rene Ray, the narrative centred on two scientists, David Graham and Gavin Laird, whose development of the devastating Formula MFX — Magnetic Field X, with X denoting the unknown variable , enabled controlled access to Time, conceived here as the Fourth Dimension.
Among those affected by the properties of Formula MFX were Laird’s wife, Fenella (portrayed by Helen Cherry), and Pollie Boulter (played by comedienne Maudie Edwards). As the serial progressed, the principal characters were gradually transported to the enigmatic realm designated Planet X, depicted on screen as an abstract, lunar‑like environment characterised by its eerie and otherworldly atmosphere.
