Dimension X was the framework for X Minus One. It was an extension of Dimension X, sometimes even broadcasting the same stories. X Minus One was a thirty-minute science fiction series totalling 113 episodes and throughout its three years of broadcasting, it always used the same opening, a rocket-launch countdown. The stories were strict science fiction striking out into deep space, exploring thousands of other worlds and galaxies and, the much more exciting, power struggles with aliens.
