[McCabe-Thiele (Ted)]

must admit to preferring Marina in Stingray but remember Robie the robot "On our way home"

Marina was ahead of her time with the trout pout lips.

Maybe I'm confusing her with Lady P?

Ted i agree the search function is not always useful, and Bryan fireball xl5 was my favourite, the front bit of the spaceship detached as did the real life craft in later years.

[Bryanj]

For my sins i have the box sets of
Four feather falls
Fireball xl5
Stingray
And of course Thunderducks

What about Muffin the Mule (wouldn't be allowed these days!) and Captain Pugwash (Wouldn't be allowed these days - characters were Master Bates, Seaman Staines and Roger the Cabin Boy. And that Pugwash itself was Australian slang for oral sex.)
Luckily I was too young to understand!

 As a Pugwash fan that is simply untrue. The origin of that myth is it is likely from a student rag mag.
Capt  Pugwash
Master  Mate
Willy
Barnabas
Tom the cabin boy
Cut Throat Jake

I prefer Phils version of the cast.

I bow to your fan knowledge Moorey - just cut and paste from tinternet. (just re-read and it does say its an urban myth) - I can only remember the actual programme from my childhood
Muffin was 50's so I'd have been really young - vague recollection

I had a Muffin the Mule string puppet when I was around 7 yrs old!

[Bryanj]

Along with Muffin you had
Andy Pandy(rumours it was banned in some countries as he was always getting in the basket with Loopy Lou)
Woodentops(spotty dog)
Bill and Ben (Flobalob weeeed)
And the one I'd forgotten Rag, Tag and Bobtail

All in a series called Watch with Mother long before colour

 And so do many more, thats why the myth has lasted so long and gone around the world.  Not in the Black Pig I hasten to add. 

Another favorite for me was Noggin the Nog.

 I used to have a Tex Tucker outfit, Strangely the guns never swiveled on their own but that didn't seem to matter back then.

[PHILIP2908]

Used to rush home from school for this: Mike Mercury (another great name) and SUPERCAR !! [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

  I had the Budgie Supercar  with retractable wings as a kid as well

Torchy, Twizzle and Four Feather Falls were made in the hall of a big house (Islet Park House, now flats) just 1/2 mile from me, before they moved to Slough Trading Estate.
Tex Tucker was Nicholas Parsons.
And just to bring it back to bikes. I had new tyres fitted on my ER6N a few years ago at their first premises on the trading estate which is Pro Tyre. Their more elaborate (Thunderbirds era) buildings were demolished.
