Ohhh wasnt sure about the first one at all.

 

Funnily enough, for reasons I cant remember, I watched a bit of Runaround on You Tube the other week. Don't think I'd have got it if it wasnt for that.

It was the episode where William Shatner thought there was a monster pulling the engine and the wing apart, brilliant.

There was a great cartoon on at roughly the same time period as the Banana Splits? I'm sure it was on the same channel? Hopefully someone can tell me what it was?

 

Long time ago so the memory is vague but I'm sure it involved a team of scientists working on some sort of machine which accidentally miniaturizes them including there car? They are trying to get back to normal size and battle with all sorts of rats, bugs etc which appear HUGE to them in miniaturized form?

 

Ring any bells?

The cartoon you're talking about was shown during Banana Splits. It was called Micro Ventures.

It says Splits bottom right? Was I correct in the Banana splits association?

Vision On with Tony Hart. Cannot remember the lady's name.

That man was a genius.

I recall this, I think her name was Pat Keysall.

 

Does anyone remember a western based puppet programme called

Four Feather Falls? I seem to remember it was by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson who went on to do Fireball XL5, Supercar,Stingray & Thunderbirds.

Ingrid Pitt had an amazing back-story.

 

Born in Poland to a German father and Polish jewish mother, she survived the Nazi concentration camps and eventually had to escape communist East Germany.
