Thunderbirds (my fave), Joe 90, Captain Scarlet it ain't

[cardiff55]

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

[splott parker]

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 drove most of them back in the day, then the mushrooms used to were off, Stringray was my favourite.

[BlueWales]

At least Space 1999 had some fit REAL women to look at.:thumbup:

[Taunton Blue Genie]

Yep. I remember it.

It's a wonder he had any time at all to be involved with Sinn Féin .

What about Torchy the battery boy?

[the other bob wilson]

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

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).
