mcjwills Posted 13 May, 2012 Posted 13 May, 2012 The original Gerry Anderson series http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Snh1b7h2sMA&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Badger Posted 13 May, 2012 Posted 13 May, 2012 F troop......was funny as ferk back then! Yes, remember that. Forrest Tucker a name from it I recall.
Panda Posted 13 May, 2012 Posted 13 May, 2012 Anyone else remember this edition of the Bumblies with their racing car, the Bumbliari? It seems like only yesterday ...
JackFrost Posted 13 May, 2012 Posted 13 May, 2012 Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons ........ beware the OOO's . Captain Black was the scariest puppet in history. FACT.
Micky Posted 13 May, 2012 Posted 13 May, 2012 And of course this one as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OO81SBTWwxM&feature=related
Badger Posted 13 May, 2012 Posted 13 May, 2012 Captain Black was the scariest puppet in history. FACT. The Hood in Thunderbirds was pretty sinister at the time, for a six/seven year old. Doubt it would be permitted now as it would be deemed offensive to some far eastern religious cult or whatever.
svetigpung Posted 14 May, 2012 Posted 14 May, 2012 Grange Hill was the dogs goolies , back then. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmIVkG6R57c&feature=related

LVSaint Posted 14 May, 2012 Posted 14 May, 2012 Anyone remember watching this grisly film at school in the 80s?
saintmatt Posted 14 May, 2012 Posted 14 May, 2012 Captain Black was the scariest puppet in history. FACT. Scariest bad guy ever in my eyes, not even joking.
John Boy Saint Posted 14 May, 2012 Posted 14 May, 2012 "This is the Voice of the Mysterons, we know you can hear us Earth men!". Question for the folks hooked on Captain Scarlet all those years back: what was Captain Scarlets real name? (no Wiki cheating!!). There are some great TV shows listed above. Being born in 1964 the World of Jerry Anderson was immense when I was 5, Thunderbirds was bigger than my eyes. (with all the CGI that exists today the Thunderbirds film from a couple of years back was such a disappointment, but showed what an immense show Thunderbirds was) Captain Scarlet, Stingray (those Titans were a bit scary), Joe 90. There was a great cartoon: Marine Boy, the boy chewed Oxygum and could breathe under water: 'Elfin Safety nightmare! Hectors House The Herbs The Clangers

dubai_phil Posted 15 May, 2012 Posted 15 May, 2012 Question. How many others bought the entire boxed set of Thunderbirds when it came out on DVD some 7/8 years ago?
Frank's cousin Posted 15 May, 2012 Posted 15 May, 2012 Question. How many others bought the entire boxed set of Thunderbirds when it came out on DVD some 7/8 years ago? Nopoe but got Trumpton, Chigley and Camberwick Green for my daughter - as well as Bagpuss, Clangers etc... so had many nostalgia fests - she loved them too!
Petersfield Saint Posted 15 May, 2012 Posted 15 May, 2012 Greatest thread ever?! I remember everything posted so far - I must have spent my entire childhood glued to the telly!

CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 15 May, 2012 Posted 15 May, 2012 There are so many I remember fondly, so just a select few: Children of the Stones - very creepy pagan kiddie horror The Tomorrow People - cheap ITV teatime Si-Fi but I absolutely loved it Doctor Who - I'm old enough to just recall Troughton, but I'm still a Jon Pertwee lad really The Flashing Blade - odd French summer holiday morning series - it went on forever and was set in a castle Tom & Jerry - too good (if not to say horrifically violent) for kids Loony Tunes - animation that has never been bettered Adventures from the Riverbank - Hamster torture for the under 5's And some I hated: The Flower Pot Men - Bill & Ben gave me the creeps Catweazil - Jon Pertwee gone bad Magpie - I was a Blue Peter boy I'm afraid.
JackFrost Posted 15 May, 2012 Posted 15 May, 2012 Scariest bad guy ever in my eyes, not even joking. I genuinely once had a nightmare when I dreamt I woke up and a life size version of Captain Black was standing silently next to my bed.
JackFrost Posted 15 May, 2012 Posted 15 May, 2012 Can't find it on youtube unfortunately but a junior police officer I worked with in the mid 90s met the same fate as this bloke. Poor girl was ribbed about it for weeks afterwards
saintmatt Posted 15 May, 2012 Posted 15 May, 2012 Question. How many others bought the entire boxed set of Thunderbirds when it came out on DVD some 7/8 years ago? Yep, and Stingray!
