  1. Happy Birthday to Peter Purves.

    Although he's best remembered by my generation as a Blue Peter presenter, before that Purves played the 1st Doctor's companion Steven Taylor. As William Hartnell's health declined toward the end of his run on Doctor Who, Purves essentially became the leading man, helping to keep the series on the air. His reward? The BBC sacked him, of course.

    Here he is in *that* sweater from 'The Celestial Toymaker.'

    The Batman TV series premiered on ABC starring Adam West and Burt Ward as Batman and Robin. The first episode, "Hi Diddle Riddle," pitted the Dynamic Duo against the self-styled 'Count of Conundrums,' the Riddler (Frank Gorshin).

  13. The Fantastic Voyage cartoon departs a great deal from the movie, with an all-new team crewing a vehicle called the Voyager, which can fly through space, dive under the sea...and generally go anywhere the script requires it to go. The heroes are a quirky bunch led by Nick Fury lookalike Commander Jonathan Kidd. He's backed up by biologist Dr Erica Lane, genius inventor Busby Birdwell and Guru, a 'master of mysterious powers,' à la Dr Strange.

  15. Reliving my youth watching cartoons on a Saturday morning. Second childhood? Nah, 8th or 9th!

    Fantastic Voyage is a trippy cartoon from 1968. I always loved the idea that in this fictional world, someone at the top of government thought it would be a great idea to solve the world's problems by shrinking people. Whatever it is - crime, pollution, espionage, invasion from outer space - throw some tiny people at it and it will go away. Money well spent!

  17. Happy 60th anniversary to the brave men and women of the United Network Command for Law and Enforcement, who have been keeping us safe since 1964. Long may Channel D remain open.
