Knuckledragger Posted April 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 This video has been on YT for years. Kevin uploaded the above HD version to his own channel yesterday. It's half an hour long, but if you haven't seen it before it's a hell of a story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was 4 to 6 years old when it ran, so I must have been right in its target audience. Fortunately I have no recollection of this puppet nightmare.

The only thing in common is puppets - different quality and storyline, and age it was aimed at. As was its Supermarionation precursor out of the Andersons, Fireball XL-5 (made at the same time as Hoppity - very early 60's) The single legged Chucky-like Hoppity was aimed at the same very young audience as similarly naff things like Andy Pandy and The Woodentops. The one that was half way decent out of the same stable as Hoppity was Space Patrol. So yes - I did watch Space Patrol, Fireball XL-5 and Thunderbirds. In a sense it was almost inevitable that many decades later I would spend five years managing a space instrument project (MIXS - the Mercury Imaging X-ray Spectrometer), due for launch next year. But even when tiny I loathed Andy Pandy with a passion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
