It is quite likely that the acting in Captain Scarlett is less wooden than in Batman.

Anyone remember Supercar or Four feather falls, I’ve never seen them on any format since.

Supercar, certainly. Joe 90, too, Four Feather Falls missed me, somehow.

I’ve forgotten to mention Torchy the battery boy.

And then there is Thunderbirds and of course Team America world police.

Anyone remember 'Space Patrol' ?

Not seen in the UK since it was last transmitted (on ITV) back in the 1960s. The series was thought lost until Roberta Leigh found a set of prints in 1997 in her garage.

'Space Patrol' also comes to Talking Pictures TV (Sky 328, Freeview 82, Virgin 445, Freesat 306) from Saturday 15th June @ 9.50am:-

I think you need to be a certain age to remember 'Space Patrol' 39 episodes first shown on ITV in 1963/64 but rarely repeated. Until it appeared on DVD about 10 years ago I could not work out why no one else seemed to remember it or the spaceship that spun like a spinning top and the sound it made...

"Usually overlooked, this superior children’s puppet series from the early 1960s is not held in higher esteem, primarily because it reached the screen at the same time as Gerry Anderson’s futuristic adventures were beginning to take off and shows like Supercar and Fireball XL5 overshadowed it.
For many years it was believed that the entire series had been lost until 1997, when the creator, Roberta Leigh was approached by a video company about a possible DVD release and discovered that she had a complete set of 16mm prints that she had stored away in a lockup decades earlier and forgotten about"

Even earlier, does anyone remember Torchy the Battery Boy?
