Seven Out Of Ten Adventure
1 November 2016
A magnetic ray from criminals in the Middle East is causing problems, so Seaview is called in.

A fine episode that strong Irwin Allen fans can play spot the always used 20th Century Fox sets with.

Sets used in Lost In Space's Invaders From The Fifth Dimension (1965) and Time Tunnel's Raiders From Outer Space (1967) can clearly be seen here. The Seaview docking bay is turned into a hang out for the Middle Eastern creeps of the week. We see that street, the one The Green Hornet (1966) and Time Tunnel (1966) used, yet again!

My point is: if Fox was such a grand and massive studio of the 1960s...why do us viewers feel the studio had limited sets??

But anyway, forgetting all this, The Magnus Beam is a great cold war adventure with plenty of solid drama on board the Seaview...mainly from Richard Basehart as Nelson.
