this show was a favourite of mine when i was a kid, at present i am looking to get all the rights to this show and hope to release the complete series on dvd and blu ray.
i loved this when my children were small. I still do.My daughter (now 27) says she cannot understand why she liked it so much. The intro music is amazing - very clever key changes. I agree with barttheanorak that every single episode should now be immediately available on you tube. Eat your heart out, Thomas the Tank Engine. All you ever did was get into trouble with the Fat Controller.

"Shoodaloodaloop Shoodaloodaloop Shoodaloodaloop!" said the Little Green Man. "Well really!". How about uploading an episode or two (A Trip To The Circus is a particular favourite of mine) so we can hear that inimitable Pertwee chuckle at the end?
@travelmonkey007 haha NO-ONE remembers the Telebugs when I talk about them!! "3 little dudes that fly...the girl one is pink....no?? You sure?? Dang, maybe I am going mental..." ahahaaaaa that'll show them!! There's at least one more person out there who shares my delusion!!
@parkerboyuk I know what you mean. Ive never come across anyone what remembers this either. It reminds me of pretendin I was ill so I didnt have to go to school. My mum used to drop me off at my Grandmas cos she had to go to work and I 'd watch this.
Been looking for this for ages as I remember it as a kid. Jon Pertwee did the voices, didn't he? Seems a very obscure show. As others have said, great quality. Is this a transfer from 16mm?
jamie and the magic torch much ? but nonetheless awesome!

Probably the highest ratio of indecipherable lyrics ever to grace a TV theme song.

@parkerboyuk I'm the same - I thought I was going crazy as nobody remembered this. The same with Telebugs. Good to see them on YouTube!!

Yes, it was Jon Pertwee.
The transfer came from video tape, which came out quite well.
