A litle tone-arm adjustment may get rid of the jumps...

[drpesky]

I used to do this in a one man show, great fun

[aldiakaroofus]

I watched this show in French in the 70s and they reran the series in the 1990s. There used to be a French version of this song at the end of the show. When they reran the show, it was instrumental, except for one episode where we heard the French theme! I think I cried a little when I heard it again for the first time in 20+ years!

[gordyminiman]

My favorite tv show of the early 60s

[pauldean50]

[Factnotfictionpeople]

@MrShaggydog63 I have the DVD's - you should see how thick those strings look on a modern T.V!

[leesagrrl]

Wow!!! Great song! I was in a band that did a cool punkish version. I heard that XTC did it too!

An extra verse too! Too bad it skips... pout!

[geofbrit59]

Loved the show as a kid. Even had a toy Fireball XL5.

[dhsmitt]

The First love song I ever heard ... and first show I like to which..

[Sarahfreckle]

Beautiful voice. Loved that SUPERMARIONATION show too!

[haillarson]

oh i loved the 60 & 70 best ever days

[frankscan65]

And of course Don Spencer is now better known as Russell Crowe's Father In Law :-), as well as hosting Play School in both the UK and Australia where he later settled.

[crowdedenz87]

Don Spencer is Australian born and bred.

[frankscan65]

Actually you are correct but I think Don was better known in the UK in the early 60's than in Australia and he only became more well knon in the late 60;s, plus he hosted a Tonight Show here in Perth on STW9 in 1968/9.

This was the second record I bought at the age of 8. I remember my mom taking me into the record shop to purchase it - oh, how time fly's

[sludgefingers]

Watched it on Saturday afternoons as a littl'un. Now I look like Zoonie.
