Standby for Action – In the next half hour anything can happen!
Welcome back to the podcast dedicated to remembering growing up as a child in Britain during the 1970’s and the part TV played in our lives then. In this episode we look back to the puppet creations of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson remembering Fireball XL5, Stingray, the slightly creepy Joe 90 and the darker Captain Scarlett and the Mysterons.
We celebrate the clean cut Tracy family who only want to save the world in Thunderbirds and can anyone give an adequate explanation as to why Oliver’s Dinky Thunderbird 2 was blue when it should have been green? Listen to find out more.
