      Me too but the same episode was on Talking TV channel on Saturday, if you can get the channel I think that it’s the start of a series of 60’s shows and it’s easier to watch on a full screen than on a monitor or phone screen. I’m in England so I hope that all who are fans can watch it.

      You have described my plight exactly. I loved this show as a child in rural WV. Once as a young adult I woke yelling loudly "FIREBALL XL5". Scared the girl I was with. Snippets of my early childhood are roaring back, the curved takeoff ramp, the rockets falling off after liftoff and others.

      @@vibhadeshpande6925 and Vikki Colbert, people not around 60 years ago tend view things only from what they have been exposed to. One of the amazing things about these old shows is the intelligence that went into the production both in craftsmanship, as well as the writing and acting. Today, everything is a parody or derivative of "impressions" of what they have been exposed to without any depth or understanding. But most of all, there isn't much originality. Just a lot of inane and incessant dialogue with weak story material, if there is any.

    I never knew this show, only the more famous Thunderbirds and Stingray. This has lots of Space 1999 vibes (or perhaps should I say the other way around) and I like it.

    This takes me back a lot of years. I haven't seen it since I was around 5 and I'm 64 now. It wasn't the first Anderson puppet show. That was Supercar. But that is before my time. 'On our way 'ome!'

    The coolest opening of any TV show ever. Sled rockets to space!! I'd love learn about the prop and set making. The marionettes - meh - who cares? But those sets? The rocket blasts.

      The vehicles actually were a workaround as the marionettes could not convincingly walk. Gerry Anderson embraced this workaround and turned it into an art form.

    The real start of the Gerry Anderson world, with all due respect to Torchy the Battery Boy, Four Feather Falls and Supercar.
    This was the first time to see global organisations, uniforms and ranks, buildings and of course the amazing machines, which became the model for XL5, Stingray and Thunderbirds.
