  • Oh Gawd. I wanna be 7 years old again! I wanna watch this & Leave It To Beaver & Twilight Zone on a big B&W TV in a wooden cabinet with vacuum tubes inside that takes a whole minute to warm up, & I wanna play with dinosaurs on the big dirt pile in my folks' backyard! Thanks for posting!

  • One of my favorite shows growing up. Got the spaceship as a Christmas gift one year. One of the best Christmas 's ever.

    I'd wager that Gerry Anderson's FXL5 was inspired firstly by Dandrige Cole's design for an "Antares" spacecraft, which also was to be launched by a turbojet sled (boosting a 10,000 ton orbiter vehicle to 2000 feet per second along a 15-mile track).

  • I love this show, too! And I agree it would've looked more impressive in colour (yes, I know back in early 60s colour TV wasn't so widespread, sorry). P.S. What's going on with the sound in this video; there's some sort of an echo? I thought no1 could hear U scream in space Lol

  • @tanyaloveshair Ditto for me;  I thought that ship was one of the coolest things I ever got.....even more that the Supercar.

  • @JBofBrisbane Yes, a British production but I was talking about American products.

  • Showing my age watching and remembering these old progs, "Supermarination" wow what a word, Astounding what they could do, in days when computers were not around

    I'm goning to subscribe, keep the videos coming

  • @blabblab1212 - You're aware that Fireball XL-5 was a British production, aren't you?

  • That's me next to the PM.. memories

  • This show rocked!!

  • The cornerstone of all my fascination with science-fiction since 1963 (it nicely paralleled my fascination with science-fact of the space race between the U.S. versus Russia).
