We cannot also be forgetting 'Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea' and the giant underwater roaring, radioactive cabbages  ;D ;D ;D

Urgh, 2nd series. Avoid this at all costs. However good or bad you think Space:1999 is (I enjoyed it at the time, but think it's aged badly) the 1st series is infinitely better than the 2nd.

How about Stingray?

Stand by for action......Anything can happen in the next half hour.

Anyone else remember Peter Cook and Dudley Moore's "Superthunderstingcar" ?

There are a few versions of that on YouTube. :)

88 not a bad innings at all. He never seemd to take himself too seriously when on the tv.

Totally agree, Steve. :(

From a much more innocent era....But I still smile when the old Eric and Ernie shows are shown.
Especially the one with 'Andre Preview.'.....Absolute classic. :)

How Andre Previn managed not to smile, I'll never know! An absolute classic piece of tv ;D

Just seen that. :(

Damn good keeper.

72 ? ...From what I've just read....He appears to have held advanced prostate cancer at bay for a good few years.

A great shame.

I've never read any of his/her books, but have heard they are very good. A sad loss once again.
