No, I'm in London. The Saturday Show was broadcast across the ITV network at the same time.

[littlegypsy71]

@freemind4ever

I'm from the Midlands and i remember this very well too! One thing i can never recall though, what is the name of Zelda's son?  no one seems to remember it. lol

[animal100000]

@littlegypsy71 His name was Yung-star

[battywattywoo]

@animal100000 Does anyone else think Yung-star was cute, in an unconventional way? Maybe he's no Romeo, but he's my love and one-man show...let's hear it for the boy!

[FirebirdKnight]

Terrahawks used to scare the shit out of me when I was a kid.

[sw1000xg]

Kids today are not kids there just mini statements for fashion and reality telly crap like Big Brother!!! I miss being a kid sometimes, being an adult sucks. Yeah school was crap and having to do what you're told by you're parents but then wtf is being married? 80's telly rules...

[mattcole2206]

Oh my god! I forgot I was on this show in a quiz segment called You've Got To Be Joking.!!!! Lionel Blair was the team captain. Hilarious.

[StevieDminesapint]

Haaaa forgot about Zeldas wierd son with the teeth n barmy voice Haaaaaaaaa class!

[jamespeto]

MrJim, you are a star! Terrahawks what a great show it was,is. 

[battywattywoo]

MrJim, I don't suppose you have the First Post (with Sue Robbie) episode about Terrahawks, from 1984? I suppose that's too much to ask, just checking...I remember one girl (can't for the life of me remember her name) wrote to FP saying she liked everything about Terrahawks except Yungstar, whose gurgling drove her mad. It would be nice to hear the First Post theme-tune again...

[MrJim]

No sorry.

[PandOdownunder]

That ZELDA still scares the crap outta me . . . . eeeeek!!!

[sheenalovestulips]

cool tv show!!!

[mccarthystuart]

Am I the only one who found this "special" to be rather lame? They could have involved the cast of Terrahawks (the puppet cast) more.

[SuperCowboy62]

I remember these Shows Back then I had big Flower Dish in my yard could pick up all channel all over the world before everything got scamble but I kept my Sisters kids back then on weekends too so they watch a lot of these shows I grew up on Captain Scarlet so I like these too. great video thanks Do you have Bluebirds Too?

[scruffjones]

that male puppet has a serious phlegm problem! he should have a strong cough.

[spoonie8881]

Zelda used to scare the piss out of me.

[karlmarx71]

@spoonie8881 Ooooooooooh yeah me too.........reminds me of my ex wife so scares me even more now!!!

[ktbug28]

The little girl in the blue dress looks like a young Bjork!!! Anyone else notice this!?!?!

[noncepuncher]

LOL listen to the camaraman or somebody telling the kids to cheer @1:34

[hilarioph]

Gerry Anderson is so smart to made those puppets. But do you think Gerry Anderson went to Japan when they saw the x-bomber aka Star felt.

On the tv series on Japan

[kabogga]

I heard an interesting rumour about Moya (Kate Kestrel) Griffiths many years ago. And I wonder if anyone can clarify it. I heard that she is the daughter of Derek Griffiths the man who used to appear on Playschool and other childrens programmes. I'd love to know if it's true or not! ;-)

[Blackheathguy]

Blimey this takes me back a few years....

[originalmonkeysbum]

wow! thanks for posting this,i love Terrahawks

[jemmabond]

Thank you for posting this. I used to love The Saturday Show (although Tiswas was, and still is, the best!), and I fancied Tommy Boyd, even though I was just seven at the time. But hang on, is Kate Kestral a real person?

[MrJim]

You fancied Tommy Boyd? I suppose it could be worse, you could have had a crush on Timmy Mallet lol. Or Stu Francis (I could crush a grape). Yeah Saturday Morning shows were best in the early 80's.

Kate Kestral wasn't a real person. But was portrayed by a singer called Moya Griffiths for the publicity related stuff like the SOS video etc.

[jemmabond]

Now you've mentioned it, I DID also fany Stu Francis (I have a thing for quirky men!) As for Timmy Mallet...I was remined of him everyday because my brother's name is Timmy. He was funny then, if a bit annoying (blegh!), but I hate him now!

[Zurrian]

That Zelda used to scare the crap outta me !

Thx for posting this man , dont know where the hell you got this from !

[MrJim]

I taped it myself when it first aired.

[hilarioph]

What the heck are you talking about is just only a puppet. I watch this one on Star plus. And i say it again. Zelda is just only a puppet

[battywattywoo]

Thank you so much for posting this; I saw it at the time, and never thought I would see it again. Kate rules! So do the zeroids, and Yungstar!

[MrJim]

No problem, glad you enjoyed it!
