Fireball XL5 (1962–1963)
8/10
I'm a kid again

Warning: Spoilers
I haven't bought the DVD set (I should add "yet", I suppose. But let me see what I remember:

Robert the Robot intoning "On our way home" at the end of the episode

Those fabulous hover scooters

Zoonie the Lazoon's distinctive vocalisations (and sucker fingers)

Venus (ah, Venus! the first artificial female I improbably fancied)(odd that Lady Penelope sounded exactly like her...)

That take-off ramp, the second of Gerry Anderson's increasingly elaborate launch sequences

My plastic Fireball XL5 model kit

Every word of the theme song. All together now, "I wish I was a spaceman..."

My die-cast Fireball XL5 model

Fireball XL5 in TV21 comic

Come on, I was 10! It was great! Now, where can I get those DVDs?
