From the late 1950s/early 1960s, three six or seven part serials called "Pathfinders In Space" (to the moon), "Pathfinders to Mars" and "Pathfinders to Venus" - produced for ITV by many of the people who about a year later kicked off "Doctor Who".
I thoroughly enjoyed all these adventures and it's a great shame that they don't exist any more.
