Hi everyone.... Unfortunately I'm not in a position to post any thoughts on this episode at the moment as I haven't had a chance to view it again yet, and I...
Hi Mrs Gooner, I tend to agree about 'Steve's funny voices'. But I do think that Rootes was probably Paul Maxwell's best 'funny voice'. It's this lack of, er,...
Paul Maxwell did Rootes' voice? Well, call me naive', but I didn't know that! I loved this episode, but I thought the actual 'plant man' wasn't very...
I only realized it was 'Steve' doing the voice for Doctor Rootes after quite a few viewings. It's not a bad bit of voice-work at all. I guess that feeble as...
Yes, I noticed the model and how it got wacked down. How cruel! I think this episode is cool, yet inconsistent. Choppy. Is it my imagination, or are Steve's...
Robin, Ha, ha, ha on your comment about Rootes and Johnathon! Real boss. Yes, the plant man creature was feable and thinking about it further I'd have to say...
Hi Cheryl, I think the way Steve and Venus hold each other in this episode is boss. There isn't a great deal of character stuff in this one - but whoever posed...
Hi Cheryl, Without wishing to spoil teh illusion of reality in any way, you'll find that Paul Maxwell voices quite a few 'extras' and guest characters on the ...
Hi Robin, Thanks for pointing that out, as I never knew that Paul Maxwell did so many "guest" voices. To Cool!!!!!!!! My 46th birthday is tomorrow, so I plan...
Hi Cheryl, Have a very happy birthday! Speaking of nice things.. Four Feather Falls is finally coming out on DVD. This is the 'Western' that the Anderson's...
Hi Robin, Thanks for the birthday wishes! I'm ordering Supercar from Amazon.com US. It's my birthday present from Don and I can't wait to see it again. Never...
Hi to Keryn in Australia who just joined the group. We chat about all aspects of Fireball XL5 here. We're also talking about each episode on the DVDs in...
Stupid question time. 4 Feathers in Black and white? Does it portray the same nuances as Supercar and FBXL5 as opposed to the secret agent boy, I forgot the...
Hi Don, Yes Four Feather Falls is black and white since it was made around 1960. The child spy series was 'Joe 90' which was much later, after Stingray, ...
Thank you very much! I will have to have to watch the episodes in more detail than usual to keep up with the discussions - but that can only be a good thing! ...
Hi Keryn, Yes, there is something very magical about Fireball XL5. Pauline and I love the theme song so it's something we often sing when I'm playing my...
Hi Keryn, Wellllcooooommmmme Hommmmmmme!!!!!!! (I love Zoonie.) Hope you like it here. This is such a friendly group and I love it! All things Fireball....
Hi Keryn....can I just add my welcome. It's great to hear from another fan whose memories of the show are similar to my own and who also enjoyed reading ...
Hi Keryn, You're not tootie because the Fireball theme song is your favorite. It's one of my favorites, too and my friend here in a small town (under 14,500...
Hi Mrs. Gooner, I never had that trepedation about watching XL5 as an adult. I couldn't wait to see it again! But we never had TV21 here at the time that I...
Hi Folks, Let's move on to the next episode for discusion: Sun Temple. Anyone wanting to catch up on Plant Man From Space - please do so. Now, I'm going to...
I wasn't too happy with Robert attacking the creature. All they really needed was a large can of weed killer. But … on the good side, I think this episode...
Hi Cheryl, How I got the single? That was probably one of the highlights of my childhood (I'm SO glad you asked - I've bored everyone at work with the story...
Hi Keryn, It's easy to overlook Barry Gray's music because it is so much an integral part of the show. The music goes so well with all the other aspects of ...
Hi Keryn, That's a great story! There is a third verse. The way I know it is: "Although I'm not a spaceman, famous and renowned, I'm just a guy that's down to...
Hi (again), Robin - I still have my TV21 Identicode too AND the orange `cloth' adhesive TV21 badge AND my Spectrum Shades pass (I lost the Spectrum tin badge...
Hi, I love Matt's explanation of why Rejusca would be safe from the asteroids exploding - because it's `many miles from the blast and radiation scene'. I'd...
