Man those 1950's colour schemes ar definitive. Trouble is it is not card 1. Still the future of 1955 is decidedly our past now and we can circumvent the problems of those early candy collectors and the set can be revealed in the manner it was always inteded, from 1 to 50. Fat chance if you think I am going to reveal the entire story line to you, but like the movie trailers glimpses will be given to you. You will not know but you will have the sneaky suspicion you'll have seen the best bits, including the climax of the film but just have to go and see just in case the film is better than the trailer.
Fire balls fill the London skies, frightened crowds run from sheets of flame.
People in shiny plastic suits stroke their chins at the HQ of the Scientific Research Society and look at lights flickering on a screen. The fire balls have a pattern. London's population is evacuated as fire fighters struggle with the great fire. Twisted metal is recovered from the fires the likes of which never seen before in the world. Egg heads do lots of work and determine the fire balls come from Mars.
