I remember this show well. I loved it as a kid, but things like this never seem the same as you remembered them.

[americandiscocrash]

is this that tv show where the astronaut lives in coco beach and he keeps getting shit-faced on g and t's, which always winds him up in the craziest of predicaments, but he imagines some genie causing the predicaments? i think his name was hal. j.r. of mulligan's stew was in it.

Camp as knickers

[sonicavenga]

Hal always used to remind me of Freddie Mercury ;D)

[CorduroyAngel]

Hal has a definite resemblance to Todd Rundgren!

I've just gone and bought this off ebay. About £13. I'll let you know what I think.

Network do a great job of releasing archive tv, but some shows are best forgotten...from what I've seen of this kids show, it is truly desperate stuff.

I used to love this at the time but us kids were easily pleased in those days!!! Roy Barrowclough's rather camp acting was so funny!

[tenbarsteam]

I used to love this as a kid. Looks a bit crap now. Well, that's nostalgia for you!

Not quite! It's Mr. Cobbledick.

@jimmy0jam but it sounds like "toss a cobbledick" which isnt child friendly
