Twizzle and Torchy were way before my time!
My first show that I remember was Supercar!
Don't ask me to explain...I was pretty young when Supercar began. (1959/60)
So it must have run for a while? or been re-run.
But Supercar and Fireball were the first shows I remember watching with some regularity.
...oh... and Noddy and Magic Roundabout too!
I know I did not see a lot of Fireball or Supercar
but I do remember seeing most episodes of Stingray (1963, I was 4yrs old)
and then Thunderbirds (1964/65)
I did see Thunderbirds are Go in the Cinema in '66
Unfortunately I only saw a few of the first episodes of Capt. Scarlet in '67
(because of my move to Canada)
Somehow, somewhere, I got see a few episodes of Joe90, but I don't know where?
I don't think it ran in Canada?
UFO was my favorite Anderson program...but I only ever saw one or two episodes.
Again, not sure where, could have been on British TV when I was back for a visit.
I had to wait almost 40 years, until I was able to download almost every episode online!
(This was a few years ago, before the DVD releases! I met a private collector who had converted the TV episodes)
I need to go and buy the DVDs, because I am missing the last two or three episodes.
Sorry, for my trip down memory lane...its just fun remembering!
Supermarionation Is Go!
