I use to have a toy super car. Now what was the driver/inventor called?

Found it, Mike Mercury was the pilot. Which reminds me Fireball XL5.

For sheer silliness it has to be Rentaghost.

I also used to love Airwolf and Knight Rider but the classic must be Monkey!... never did really figure out whether Tripitaka was a boy or a girl though.

Monkey magic, monkey magic!!!! Chest-hair-ripping-and-blowing-and-tiny-staff-from-the-ear-tastic stuff!!

Mary, Mungo and Midge brings back fond memories.

Bought this on DVD for my kids and they loved it.

Earliest I can remember is probably Andy Pandy and Pogles Wood. There was also something awful about a lamb chop or something.

Liked tomorrow people, space 1999, doctor who, star trek, blakes 7 - anything science fiction.

I'd really love to find a Youtube of Garry Halliday but alas! no matches returned (if anyone can point me in the direction of an online clip, they're my friend for life! ). Victim of BBC's infamous wipe-the-lot-no-one's-ever-going-to-be-interested policy of the 1960s (they cleaned out a lot of early Doctor Who too ).

A few weeks ago I lighted on an old Sherlock Holmes. There have been oodles of Sherlocks spanning the years, but I think Douglas Wilmer was one of the best. There appear to be two episodes surviving online.

Has anyone chosen Rhubarb & Custard... trippy man

Has anyone chosen Rhubarb & Custard... trippy man

Over the years loads of folk mention this, but it's always seemed to me that they suggest it because it was trendy at the time. Not sure anyone actually scincerely liked it.

I've got it on DVD as i bought a bundle for the kids, and i still think it's gash.
