    Strangely addictive, even as a youngster http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trade_test_colour_films
  • This is frustrating cos it isn't a free vote like the other top fives.
    Being restricted to your top five up to 12 years old means I can't vote for some of the brilliant choices others have made which I either enjoyed when I was no longer a kid, or else loved watching with my own kids! :-(

    Blimey, Supercar ...... Dr Beaker and Mike Mercury, Mitch and the arch criminal, Masterspy.
    There was also a kid on the team but can't remember his name.

    Then came Fireball XL5 piloted by Steve Zodiac, I think.

  • Talking about Fireball XL5, there was another space show about the same time with the spaceship Galasphere 347 shaped like a gyroscope, piloted by Captain Dart and some blonde woman from Venus.

    All a bit hazy now, but maybe someone on here remembers it?
