Gerry Anderson programmes

What TV shows did you watch as a kid?

I remember so many Gerry Anderson classic TV shows from my childhood. The first ones were puppet shows:

Fireball XL5

Stingray

Thunderbirds

Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons

Then mixed puppet and live action

Joe 90.

Then sci-fi live action

UFO

Space 1999

I also watched

Dr Who

The Tomorrow People

White Horses

Star Trek

Blake’s 7

The Champions

Department S

The Avengers

Is it any wonder I’ve always been interested in Science fiction?

Old TV

When I was young we used to see

Children’s programmes on tv

Chigley, Trumpton, Camberwick Green

Cuthbert, Dibble and Grubb were seen.

Then came the Herbs and a dog called Dill.

Parsley the Lion, I remember him still….

The theme music that we would sing

The Clangers, and Magpie, fun they’d bring

Puppet shows galore there were on TV

Like Stingray and Thunderbirds you’d see.

With Bill and Ben

Wild flowerpot men!

So much to remember from years ago

When I was a child…Memory fast not slow!
