Emerald Soup was a 1963 British children's science fiction television series directed by Bill Bain and produced by ABC Weekend TV for the ITV network.[2][3][4] It was written by Martin Woodhouse, with Norman Bogner as script editor. Comprising seven 25-minute episodes, the series aired weekly from Saturday 9 November to Saturday 21 December 1963.[5] The broadcast timing of series conflicted in part with the initial episodes of the BBC series Doctor Who, also broadcast on Saturdays, which started on 23 November 1963.[6]

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.[7][8]
