The intro music is on episode 1 part 1 - similar but definitely different!

I remember when my dad told me about this programme and i thought he was lying. Looked it up and it turned out to be a programme.

He looked so happy to see his programme again.

Thanks to the person who uploaded the clip!

I'm 99% sure that Sylvia Anderson did not sing the title music in this series. It was either the Torchy voice artist Olwyn Griffiths or the series writer, Roberta Leigh.

Also, Sarah & Hoppity is not a Gerry Anderson series. It may have had one or two of the same people involved that worked on Torchy but Gerry Anderson had nothing to do with that series.

This is the credits Music, right?

Not the title sequence music?

[j3pfilms]

I'm not sure, I thought it was used for both but then I've only seen the first episode once so I'm not an expert :D

Ok, I won a DVD of this at a Thunderbirds fancy dress contest at a Thunderbirds convention once.

Me and my whole family loved it!!
