"Rewind TV" is a kind of amusingly amateurish knock-off version of (the excellent) Talking Pictures TV.
However, on the plus side it does have Drop The Dead Donkey. Hurrah!

If #TPTV keeps to its current schedule then #UFO fans will get a chance to see Captain Carlin in a slightly different context on 23rd February 2025 at about 22:05 on #TheWheelTappersAndShuntersSocialClub .

#TalkingPicturesTV is currently showing episodes of the 1962 Roberta Leigh puppet space drama series Space Patrol on Saturday mornings at 0950. #TPTV is also currently screening episodes of Gerry Anderson's Fireball XL5 with which it is interesting to compare the styles of production. #DoctorWho fans may be interested that Marla and Cassie are voiced by #YsanneChurchman - AKA Alpha Centauri.

#DoctorWho fans may be interested in spotting Damaris Hayman in #Smokescreen (about 50min in) which is currently on #TPTV 's website:

Watching #FireballXL5 for the first time since originally broadcast I've noticed a couple of curious things:
(1) There's an astonishing amount of crossover in terms of music, sound effects, vehicle concepts and even the end titles between it and Gerry's masterpiece U.F.O. (to come eight years later).
(2) Why the hell has Professor Matic got a West Indies accent? (Had David Graham just come back from an exotic holiday?)
