Was it me or were the Thunderbirds really fucking disturbing? They used to scare the shit out of me. I was at a Fila Brazillia gig last night and they were on a screen in the pub. They induced a state of anxiety not triggered since I was a lil' un |

They were very disturbing - it was probably the way they walked, and how they're faces were expressionless. And before someone says....I know they were puppets and NOT real people. Disturbing nevertheless! Others included Captain Scarlet....and Jonesy, do you remember Terrahawks? That Zelda character, boy was she uugggglyyy! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Shit. For years I was trying to remember the name of that programme. I just remembered the square and round robots. Then I saw an annual in a second-hand bookshop. I hate it when your memory fails you. There's a site called Yesterdayland.com that has all the old shows. It is American however but it has loads of the old stuff. E-mail still isn't working. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Terrahawks was probably one of my favourites of those 'puppet' type shows - probably because it was more up to date than the others.... I think they should do new versions, using computer graphics - they'd be great! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah that show never scared me for some reason. Remember Jason and the Wheeled Warriors? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Jayson and the Wheeled Warriors was great! That was one of those cartoons that was almost like the manga anime wasn't it! Those trucks and tanks with plant-like organisims growning on them! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm probably showing my age now (29) but do you remember Battle for the Planets with G-Force? I bought three of the recently released video tapes from Amazon - its amazing, dated, but good stuff! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
They sucked! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah that Anime type stuff was always cool. Big eyes etc. Remember Pole Position? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Shit I was just trying to think of the name of G-Force. That was another one I could never remember. Wasn't one a spin-off of the other? Wasn't there a character called Mark in one? It was class. Reflex: blow it out your arse |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That was one of my all time favourites. I like Knight Rider, but those cars were so much cooler! Dan, Tess and the cars were Roadie and Wheels - I think! Used to be on Saturday mornings! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
jonesy: oh - geez wait im sorry, your rude comment just made me realize how much more they sucked! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Battle for the Planets, went by different names I think. Gatchaman and G-Force. The main guy was called Mark and the evil villain was Zoltar! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Shit, your memory is good. I remeber the theme tune mostly. It was thrust your fist in the air, hair standing up on the back of your neck euphoric. Reflex: it really upsets me that you think they sucked. I must reappraise my opinions in the light of your criticisms. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
jonesy: ahh but they did suck, humble. |
||||||||
|
|

In fact, they were probably made by the same animation house as Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors - DiC I think! I do confess though - I studied animation a lot whilst in school (...not just as an excuse to watch cartoons..) I actually did work experience for a few weeks in an animation house in Cardiff, where they made that 'crappy' Superted cartoon - wonderful time!! |

My mates sister used to work on Morph which was made at Wenvoe HTV I think. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Morph was a BBC programme . . you must be thinking of something else! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yep, it must have been the BBC then. My memory is bad. Superted wasn't great. I saw a stage production at the New Theatre as a child. I was in the balcony (well I am from Penarth) and you could see the cables. It was well funny, if a little disappointing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I remember that....it was a pantomine at the New Theatre - we were dragged to that as well! Melvin Hayes (from Aint Half Hot Mum) was Spotty man. We were down in the stalls, as we were told the 'Penarth gentry' had bought out all the balcony seats...months in advance ;-) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sorry mate. We jangled our jewellery in appreciation of the show. I'm not really a posh twat or anything. Though Penarth is full of them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I know your not a 'posh twat' mate - I'm just kidding! Penarth nowadays seems to be full of old people! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I know. The average age is about 82. I never noticed so much until I moved away and then returned. Its like a bloody graveyard. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes....I suspect that one day soon Penarth will be an empty town, like something from an old western film!! :-) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Going back to the topic - did anyone ever see the Thunderbirds cartoon? I think it was called Thunderbirds 2086! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No sorry. How about the Getalong Gang? Check this out - http://www.yesterdayland.com/ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That was a cheesy cartoon - my sister used to watch that! It wasn't my cup of tea! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
He he, I saw the superted show too, "The planet of the Spooks". I still have a badge from it somewhere. Jason and the wheeled warriors was great. I recently re-watched Captain Scarlet and realised how serious/good it actually was. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Looks like the every kid under the age of 13 in s. Wales went to that show. I'm ashamed to say I had a soft toy from the Getalong Gang. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I love Superted!!! =D Do you remember Bananaman? This kid ate a banana and turned into Banana man like Clark Kent turning into Superman :-) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Eric turned into Bananaman. I never really liked it much. It was all a marketing ploy by the fruit multinationals to get kids to eat more fruit and so bloat their profits. The spinach companies had a hand in Popeye in the same way. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ah yes, Eric! All the memories of my childhood are flodding back :) There was Dangermouse and Gumby and who could ever forget Fireman Sam and Postman Pat =D I really hate Popeye, I know it's just a cartoon but I find it highly un-PC :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The myth that spinach has 10 times more iron than any other green veg stems from the mis-printing of a decimal place! It actually has no more iron than cauliflower or green beans. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ceri you've ruined the Popeye fantasy. You'll be telling me Kryptonite doesn't exist next. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Of course Kryptonite exists Jonesy - don't listen to Ceri!! And don't let anyone tell you any different! ;-) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What's un-PC about popeye res? not having a go, just curious... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah I'm not sure. Maybe Olive Oil was oppressed by Popeye. Its Ok Jedi Chris I know Ceri was just fooling about. I was worried for a minute there though. Phew! |
