    The Range Rider

    Whirlybirds

    Robin Hood/Ivanhoe/Sir Lancelot/William Tell/Sir Francis Drake,The Buccaneers/ The Count of Monte Cristo/Sword of Freedom/The Scarlet Pimpernel.

    Things were pretty bleak for kid's TV in the '50s but when ITV started in '55/56 they brought in loads of stuff from the US, especially western series. The last lot above all came from Lew Grade's ATV company and were almost interchangeable : they just wore different costumes. But they were popular and also produced a number of future stars such as Roger Moore, Robert Shaw, Robert Hardy, and Paul Eddington.

    No no no. Tuckers luck was just an attempt to keep Tucker in public after Grange Hill finished. I saw one episode and that was too much.

    Did tommy steele do 'the night before christmas'? Charlie drake did something along the lines of 'grandpa in my pocket'. Saturday mornings flash gordon, laurel and hardy, and harold lloyd repeats.
