Fireball XL 5 - XFI EQ Proj 5 Mix

[eisemanrenyardjake]

Made a model of Fireball in lego with an empty, gray, tubular battery pack for the fuselage.

[CheekyUploads]

@eisemanrenyardjake yes we learned how to use our imagination in those days, the kids of today have had that stripped from them by internet mobile phones, their innocence also robbed too, we had it tough then but a cardboard box was the best !!!

[mikeismad61]

This brings it all back. A friend of mine had quite a large plastic model of Fireball, I remember being in envy of him. Ah, such good times !

[14hcap]

LOVE IT

[tennis11ish]

WOW! Filmed in "Supermarionation". I just went back down memory lane. Thanks for posting!

[CheekyUploads]

@tennis11ish you`re welcome

[CheekyUploads]

@raespencer Glad you liked this vintage stuff form my youth, I worshipped this , and still do !!!! its in my bones and inner pyskee LOL, spelling xxx

[trackend]

I always, even as a kid wanted to know who had the job of collecting those rocket sledges after each launch or was there just a massive pile of them in the desert.

[CheekyUploads]

@trackend good point , i reckon their was a dedicated team that reset the launch runway before XL5 returned home, `we`re on our way home` we`re on our way home ` LOL

[SamuelRiv]

Women would have been allowed into space a lot sooner if they weren't always such a tootie.

[CheekyUploads]

@SamuelRiv LOL

[Kamou10]

So after watching an episode of Thunderbirds on cable this Sat morning, I HAD TO LOOK FOR FIREBALLXL5, the best of the lot! Ahhhhh, the memories! And yes, I'm 50-something and old enough to have seen it during its original run in the midwest. Over and Out!

[CheekyUploads]

@Kamou10 cool, it was the best show, all the characters were real and the story lines were better then and still are !!! everything was logical and easy to follow , unlike todays masproduced drivel ...LOL

Wayne 52 (just)

[ejcm55]

Im 56 years old, and the sound of those engines coming up to speed still does it for me.

[CheekyUploads]

@ejcm55 nice one

[parkit56]

@ejcm55 Yeah, I lived for that opening sequence, every saturday morning. I even had a Fireball XL5 lunchbox. I just got the XL5 and SuperCar DVD collections.

[harmusman]

FIREBALL XL5 fans can you tell me if the music was recorded by the Fleereckers instrumental group

[ricardo364]

¿No hay ninguna posibilidad de ver completo uno de los capitulos de esta serie con subtitulos en español?

[fiddlerpin]

[tps607]

[shmenge211]

This is fantastically done!

[66bluedonkeys]

Robert... the only robot to be given what sounds like an Aussie accent... genius. O.o

[eglenn650]

I remember this show after the show supercar was taken off the air, Sat. mornings ,Frosted Flakes and Fireball XL5 ,What More could you ask for?

[kopynd1]

I relised later,sometimes you mke mistakes

[jimtsutsui1]

Thanks for posting this video. Brings back memories. I loved this show. Before it I loved Supercar, and after it I loved Thunderbirds. My brother got a plastic model of Firebird XL 5 for Christmas.

[CheekyUploads]

@jimtsutsui1 youre welcome

[problem49]

I was in first grade in 1963 when CBC broadcast it at 3:30 in the afternoon. I would literally run home as fast as my 5 year old legs would carry me so as not to miss a single precious second, only to be bitterly disappointed by invariably arriving home early and having to suffer through the remainder of the lead-in show, "Mr. Rogers". Even at the age of five I found his show insufferably dull and babyish.

[CheekyUploads]

@problem49 Yes i never missed a second, it was the best thing on the TV, futuristic fresh and different , of course supercar was still going too !!, but all the gems were still to be made.... stingray thunderbirds captain scarlett joe 90 ufo etc etc . Cheers

[kopynd1]

These 60s British pupet shows were great,captain scarlet,thunderbirds,joe 90.stingray, and John Barry was an excellent composser RIP John

[CheekyUploads]

@kopynd1 He was a genius RIP

[CheekyUploads]

@kopynd1 we both got mixed up LOl, it was Barry Gray, i thought for years it was John Barry, but we were wrong , but he did all the music for the Gerry Anderson series . Cheers man

[aberjed]

@kopynd1 the composer was BARRY GRAY

[dwsingrs]

What with Steve's reference to Venus's "French cooking," I'm inclined to think that Venus is based on Yvette Mimieux. Their voices sure sound similar. And, I must say, when I first saw the episode "Planet 46," I fell in love with the main instrumental theme, with its Latinesque feel, not unlike the main theme of the original "Star Trek." I note that there apparently never any strings, only early electronic keyboards and top-drawer horn section.

[CheekyUploads]

@dwsingrs Are you for real ?

[mguyvig]

Where is zoony the lazoon?

[CheekyUpload]

@mguyvig Hes not in this one

[baraxor]

This episode gave me the willies when I was 6...on the other hand, "Fireball XL5" first piqued my young interest in science fiction and astronomy.

[5WE11]

@baraxor Same for me , Interesting facts you sent me about the design of the Rocket Thanks, I will put them in the more info, if that s allright with you !!! Wayne

[ermengaudi]

yo tambien era muy niño cuando emitian esta serie. Creo recordar que primero se llamaba CAPITAN MARTE y mas tarde el XL5, y claro el "bienvenidos a casa...."

[sneakyuploader]

@ermengaudi Nunca va a desaparecer de la memoria. Gracias por la información sobre Marte el capitán, yo no sabía eso!!! Muchas Gracias

[KnightOfChrist1]

Marvellous!

[sneakyuploader]

@KnightOfChrist1 Cheers my friend

[BMan100]

I'm still wondering if they will make a remake of this show would be awsome lol

[sneakyuploader]

@BMan100 I never missed an episode when I was young (cHeeKY)

[ricardo364]

De niño veia esta serie y mis padres no podian apartarme del televisor cuando comenzaba. ¿Pero no podrian poner subtitulos en español? Hay tantas cosas que quisiera recordar...

[CheekyUploads]

@ricardo364 se trataba de una gran serie, trata de gt los títulos de la web algunos títulos post sitios, y luego los puso en el traductor de google! Gracias por mirar

[ricardo364]

@CheekyUploads

Me dejaste en el aire. ¿Podrias repetir todo lo anterior de un modo que hasta alguien como yo, que nada sabe de informatica, pueda entenderlo?

[mocharger06]

I wonder who the poor slob was that had to retrieve all those power take-off pods?

[swellmusik]

They were not as heavy afterwards, but they always had plenty of helpers from all over the Universe ! but one things for sure, they were standing by

Wayne (cheeky) cheers

[Keyo717]

why did you speed ir up i was enjoying that.

[CheekyUploads]

Ah well It would not fit in the 10 minutes lol, Well it made your favourites, Cheers

[xxmanx1]

Hey..wait a minute..take away the music, and it looks a LOT like a model for Star Trek. No? Is this where Gene got his idea?

[CheekyUploads]

I reckon so

[HappyJack01]

@xxmanx1 Try "Forbidden Planet". FB XL5 likely was inspired by the same movie.

[CheekyUploads]

@HappyJack01 Yep they all had there routes and it goes back even further, than we think, there was one bright spark at the start, before all this society and politics and money nonsense lol, I blame Health and safety for most things , they are a set of numpties, imposing silly rules designed to protect idiots at the expense of everybody elses freedom to do what they please LOLOL Cheers my friend !!!

[incahuascar]

Otro buenazo Cheeky.

Edu

[CheekyUploads]

many thanks

[thagroundshook]

Planetomic missile mm that sounds like it means business ..

[swellmusik]

They didnt mess about in those days, stuff was bigger then, the whole world was the goal of those evil aliens with faces carved out of wood

[baraxor]

@thagroundshook

General Buck Turgidson would probably say, "I wish we had one of them planetomic missiles..."

[5WE11]

@baraxor hahahaha, so funny, but they could keep the attention then AND now !! classic stuff that will live for ever !! many thanks for popping in on my Cheeky channel LOL !! Wayne (oh I popped the remixed music on the top) hope you liked it

[sproutcentral]

Fantastic Wayne. Loved this show when I was a kid. In the late 80's I played in a band called 'Thunderbirds Are Go!'. Our poster was our heads superimposed on their bodies.

5*****

Dave.

PS. What's a tootie?

[nannerbj]

Why am I not surprised lol

[swellmusik]

hahahaha

[swellmusik]

OMG dave You have a colourful past, well black and white in this case, A tootie, I was going to ask you the same ?, maybe Max would know ? I think it was maybe a colourful term from the 60`s refering to someone who has taken blue or pink pils hahahaha or maybe not

[gerdenshed]

A Planatonic bomb! Fantastic... Excellent video my friend ;-)  5*s

Mark...

[swellmusik]

Steve will sort it, he`s a genius, and Venus can make the coffee

Sato

[CheekyUpload]

I used to sit and wait for it to come on, and i never missed a second of every show, I was Steve Zodiac and actually flew Fireball XL 5 . I was in love with Venus, and thought I would marry her one day...

[satothequeen]

You're so sweet ;)

[CheekyUploads]

[EdMuirton]

[CheekyUpload]

[6K6R]

Old! Very old souvenirs 5*****

[CheekyUpload]

This is still the best, thanks Claude

[monello198]

used to love this...

but Barry Gray is the smart bastard..

he did the music for all of Gerry Anderson stuff...

Did you notice he used different music for the start and the end of a lot of the shows?

He got twice the royalities..

When the shows were repeated Anderson got progressively less for each showing, whereas Grays money actually went up..

Pissed old Gerry off no end

lol

mikee

;-}~

[swellmusik]

Thats very interesting, I love all the Barry gray stuff, it was just classic stuff, and it will always be the best , The pinnacle of band sync ahd been reached, sadly attempted to be replaced by computers, but it will never be as good, not in a month of sundays and the rest, anyway blue pills pink pills or steak ? lol

[bigeeezy]

cooooool
