How about Four Feather Falls? Gerry Anderson did that before Supercar. He also did Twizzle with Roberta Leigh who went on to make Space Patrol. Remember the Gabbler Dictum Bird?

I can only just remember 'Fireball XL5', but give me 'Captain Scarlet' or 'Joe 90' any day.

Isn't there a rumour of a new 'Thunderbirds' series?

I'm still haunted by The Singing Ringing Tree which was produced in East Germany but shown on BBC from time to time in the Sixites. Very creepy indeed for a children's prog.

Muffin the mule was always illegal I'm sure. Still is according to a report on Mondays BBC website news....

A former vet who was struck off after being filmed having sex with a horse and a dog has been jailed for possessing images of bestiality.

Who put him up to it... Fnaar Fnaar :o :think: :think:
