Starfleet

[Darth Wensleydale]

Does anyone remember Starfleet? It was a Thunderbirds type puppet show but much better and was usually on at around Saturday lunch time in the 80's. It had the X Bomber and Dai X robot as I remember 8)

Did they ever sell any toys / models of these?

i have a vid of the first few episodes...brilliant!

 

[Darth Wensleydale]

I saw a few vids of it on you-tube last night, I'd forgotten how good it was 8) Lots borrowed from Star Wars, Star Trek and Godzilla even. I'd say Transformers too but I think Dai X predated and probably influenced the first transformers.

Barry Hercules was definitely the porn star of the crew :lol:

It doesn't surprise me, did she think World War 2 was a sequel to a movie?

I Vaguely remember Tizwas. I remember loving the music to Terrahawks, but not sure if I ever actually watched the program.
Kids TV was definately so much better back then, beats the ****ing Telly-Tubbies or whatever shite they get now!

 

[lee gray]

Cheers Mash!

It sounds terrible now, but you still gotta love it! 8)

 

[Darth Wensleydale]

Some of the Terrahawks toys were cool, there is a nice loose Battlehawk on ebay at the mo. I remember my brother having the Hawkwing fighter 8)

I want to try and find some Starfleet models but I don't think they are easy to get hold of.
