The Space Race in Colour, a new two-part docuseries produced by Woodcut Media and Woodcut International, will premiere on Channel 4 in the UK on Saturday, September 26. Both episodes will air back-to-back starting at 8pm BST. The series provides an in-depth look at the historical competition between the United States and the Soviet Union during the 1950s and 1960s, examining the political goals, key collaborations, and the wider impact of space exploration beyond military rivalry. The series features modern colorization of historical black-and-white footage, along with previously unreleased eyewitness interviews. It is part of Woodcut’s “In Colour” series, which has previously covered topics such as Titanic in Colour, The Race for Ancient Egypt in Colour, Britain’s Railway Empire in Colour, and The Manhattan Project in Colour. Series producer Jonathan Mayo explained that colorizing old footage helps bring historical events to life, making them feel more immediate and human. In the UK, viewers can stream the series for free through Channel 4’s mobile app or website after registering for an account. For those outside the UK, using a virtual private network (VPN) is often recommended to access the content. NordVPN is one service that allows users to bypass geographic restrictions, though it is important to follow the terms and conditions set by the broadcaster. At the moment, the series is not available on any streaming platforms or broadcast networks outside the UK. The series aims to offer a fresh perspective on a pivotal period in history, using modern technology to enhance the viewer's understanding of the past. By combining historical footage with new interviews, The Space Race in Colour seeks to provide both educational value and a compelling narrative about one of the most significant chapters of the 20th century.
