  9. Doing some research and am hoping to start by crowdsourcing here:

    If you have leads on who finances the Octonauts and what their annual budget is (especially their fuel costs) please reach out to me.

    Also, if you have information about the origins of the vegimals I would like to speak with you.

  13. For no reason whatsoever, except I like to start the week with something jolly: The Clangers. Here they are on the endpapers of their annual, probably in between rehearsals for their guest appearance in 'The Sea Devils' #DrWho story. #childrenstv #DoctorWho #1970s

  14. Never seen this before. ITV Retro have started putting up Gerry Anderson's The Secret Service, the last of the classic supermarianation puppet series staring Prof. Stanley Unwin (both in person and as his puppet ) . Yes, he of the "Unwinese" gobbledegook language. Quaint but bizarre.
    Wonder if Monty Python riffed on this for "The Bishop" sketch.

  21. I'm going through my DVD collection at the moment. I've watched as many episodes of Sledge Hammer! as I can for now (the main character makes me think of a stereotypical Trump supporter!), and just started on Children of the Stones, a 1970s children's TV series
