Yes mate.. I think it was called 'Sea Wolf' though time may have dealt me a duff memory bank (likely as I can't remember what happened last week) :lol: I remember getting the Annual for Christmas one year.. coincided nicely with my frogman GI Joe (the original Action Man with painted hair) :wink:

That'll give me something to do this afternoon.. try and find it (the name of the prog btw.. not my GI Joe) :worried:

EDIT.. Sea Hunt!! :wink:

Eric, thanks so much for posting that link. It brought back so many memories of growing up in the UK.

I had not seen London to Brighton in 4 minutes in nearly 50 years! Dixon of Dock Green, Panorama, Eamonn Andrews, The Six-Five Special and Phil Silvers (an American show that strangely, we hardly see at all on the rerun channels on this side of the pond), all brought back a flood of memories. Oh, Quartermas I have never seen but remember it as was the one show my parents would never let me watch and to this day, I still don't know why. When it came on, I was always sent to bed.

Here you go Bob.. I think this is where I ended up. The page doesn't look as it did the other night but I'm pretty sure it's the right general area..

Strewth, Four Feather Falls - now that was when wooden acting was real wooden acting - and the strings were supplied by Alphasim before they got into making Hudsons! :worried:

Wasn't there a "Granny Clampett" character in that show? Probably my first pin-up. :redface:

Just think of the cultural experience you missed out on Tonks.

This is what I watched in my formative years :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thanks :welldone:

Manna from heaven. Yorkshire TV gave up on the Gerry Anderson shows after Captain Scarlet so I have never seen the full series of Joe 90....except odd snippets, so I can catch up now 40 years later :tab: & never any of the later puppet series up to Terrahawks :redface:

Yes Bob.. Terrahawks was a bit wild. I thought they'd lost the plot by this time :roll:

The viewing pane is only titchy but you can double click on it to see it fullscreen. It's a bit pixelly (is that a word??) but infinately watchable :wink:

My favourite was Fireball XL-5 :smile:

Space 1999 lost it a bit using real people....the puppets were more lifelike :roll:

I am definitely a Supercar, Stingray, Thunderbirds sort :smile:
