Loved this when I was a kid. Grew up with junk, now play with it and build stuff. Wish they'd release this on DVD - pilot and series.

@ADAMMAGIC39 Clearly filmed in 1978 or *early* 1979, before the oil crisis!

I remember seeing the movie, but had no idea they made a whole series of it! Awesome!

"junkman"... Back in 1979, did people actually use that word? Apparently they did, because it's like "he's a junkman", and they probably wouldn't have done that if there were a considerable chance that viewers would go "what the f**k's a junkman"... which is basically my reaction. I mean it's obvious, but still, people don't talk like that anymore.

Good old Harry. I used to love this show! Good thing he was running his business and building his rocket in the USA. If he had been based in the UK, all his junk would have been stolen by rioting chavs, whilst the overpaid/overpensioned police would do nothing but make excuses why they couldn't intervene. If Harry tried to defend his property, the police would be there immediately to arrest him and make sure he was locked up.

As for building the rocket, once again, in the UK, Harry would find

This episode first aired just as the price of gas was breaching $1/gallon for the first time, and everyone thought such a high price was outrageous. The 34¢/gallon that they were advertising in this episode was ridiculously low, even for that time, and that's the point. This is why their oil well reclamation process was so sought-after.

This takes me back. Saw this in the UK as a kid and loved it. I even remember the pilot movie. It was so sad that the inventor of Salvage 1 didn't get to go to the moon. :-(

Got about THAT far , 14 years later as predicted, and stalkerboy slammed it into the ground.

Get "well" soon... ("86 lbs overweight. It's the "rain" collecting in the gutters and adding weight... ignore the kid vaccuuming vomit from the 80s)

Go on PatBill, tell them "how ever so clever he is..."

LOL
