      That's a shame, loved his stuff. I remember Supercar, which came before Fireball XL5.

          That was some huge Canadian pondweed in that clip Freddy.

          Don't remember that one, but I did have a Thunderbird 3.

          That's a shame. Torchy was the first series I remember, even now I sing the theme tune if I put on one of those headband torch gizmos, I guess that would have been B&W and very dated now. His later stuff ages much better.

          Another little part of my childhood gone.

          Anyone remember the UFO series from the 70s?
          They don't make 'em like that anymore.
