I know I've posted a bit on this before, but one of the influences of my youth, was an early sci-fi "puppet show" that ran on NBC in 1964 called Fireball XL5. The hero and heroine posted here are Steve Zodiac, and Venus.
This was an early Gerry Anderson production. He also made Supercar, Thunderbirds, Stingray, and later the live-action shows U.F.O. and Space:1999.
I watched them all at one time or another, but XL5 is still the one I remember best. (Maybe one of the influences to doing the "Action Toni" series?) Anyway, with Toni gone, I spent the morning watching episodes of XL5, and felt like reminiscing!
