Emerald Soup was a 1963 British children's science fiction television series.[2] Consisting of seven 25-minute episodes produced by ABC Weekend TV for the ITV network, the series was aired weekly from Saturday 9 November to Saturday 21 December 1963.[citation needed] Each episode except the last one ended with a scene to be resolved the following week via a quote from William Shakespeare. The last episode ended with the discovery of a gem (an emerald?). Norman Bogner acted as the Script Editor. The series conflicted in part with the initial episodes of the BBC series Doctor Who, also broadcast on Saturdays, which started on 23 November 1963.[3]
The series was set in a small rural community, where a group of local children discovers, constructed in the vicinity, a laboratory that is conducting secret radiation tests. The children attempt to stop the tests before any damage to the environment can be done.
