Space Patrol, featuring the Galasphere 347.

For a kids puppet show I found this slightly dark.

Stone me, I can remember Torchy the Battery Boy

Vaguely.

I can remember hiding behind the sofa watching the first ever episode of Dr Who in 1963.

Vividly.

Also:

Tomorrow's World (probably been mentioned by now)

But I'm surprised how many British TV programmes I've never heard of.

I hardly watch broadcast TV at all now, apart from the news headlines on the hour accasionally, and documentaries pre-recorded so I can zip through the ads at 32*. I mostly watch downloaded or purchased films.

Oh yes.

Four Feather Falls was the first Gerry Anderson tv series (late 50s).

Supercar was early 60s.

Ghosts was early 70s.

Ah, zeity, the Shadoks and the Gibis were extra-terrestrials.

Did you ever bump into them on your travels?

Or like everyone else, you've never heard of them?
