I think Supercar was the one after Fireball XL5. Then came Stingray, Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet and Joe 90- I think

I remember Supercar, I'm sure Mike Mercury was the same puppet as Tex Tucker from Four Feather Falls. Great actor!!!!!

Me too ! Even the songs for the earlier ones and the theme music for the later ones.
The memory is a strange thing.

I thought that song from Mary Poppins was about Supercar at the time.
I think my main memory of Twizzle, Four Feather Falls and Torchy came from Tinker and Taylor as they used to show episodes on there a few years after they came out - I used to think they were rubbish compared to Thunderbirds.
Here's something Thunderbirds related that cracked me up the first time I saw it and still does now.

Brilliant and to think that the BBC scrubbed most of the tapes with the work of Cook and Moore

Had this album as a kid and loved it.
Just found out it was released a year before i was born. Think my dad must have bought it for himself.

My father built a 'bogey' for me and my brother - in the mode of Four Feather Falls. It had supports in the four corners which supported a canvas roof. He built a later one with a windsail on it, which was rather embarrassing as the sail was made from a patched pink and white candy-striped bedsheet. It was of limited use. However, the long sled he made and which he dragged around behind his motorbike and sidecar in the snow was more of a success (apart from when our dog was running along side and underestimating the swing of the sled as we navigated the corners).

Your dad was a god , you must have been over the moon with you custom built 'bogey' I had go at building one , there was a a shortgae of decent pram wheels where I lived and they were crucial , mums hated it if you swiped a used pram wheels .
Imagine kids today building of owning a 'bogey '.
