This is the credits Music, right?

Not the title sequence music?

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

[BaalZobel]

I was there, Honestly, but Jesus how did us kids back then sleep at night with all this creepy shit in our heads :)

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

[Timwgtn]

which was crazier Torchy or Twizzle?

[midsaint776]

what year did this come out ? a friend of mine told me 1962 , i think it is older than that , more like 1957 . could you put me right please.

I vaguely remember this as a child in the 50's/60's.

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!

You looked at the video...does that mean you're gay ?

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.
