Hello all, hope you are keeping well?. Could I please pose a question for you?, could someone steer me in the correct direction?. Am I imagining a TV21...
Hi Keith, Yes there was a TV21 story where XL5 was destroyed. Nothing happened afterwards. It was a text story and was the method used by discontinue Fireball...
Thanks Robin, I'm not loosing it after all then!. If it ever turns up or if anyone can identify which edition of TV21 it was, I'd love to know so that I can...
Hi Keith. TV21 number 167 is the edition you are looking for. The number, and the memories it evokes, has been burnished onto my brain these last 40 years!!!...
Hi again. Further to my previous message: I did of course mean to say that the memory had been BURNED into my brain not "burnished". Reasons for my stupidity:...
Hi Liz, I can accept apology 1 and 2 but not 3. :-) Thanks for the detail on where the story appeared. At least TV21 didn't decide to kill off the characters...
Thanks Liz, much appreciated, as we speak I'm off to Amazon to see if that one is in there. I knew someone would know!. I'm pleased to know that I'm not the...
Did you folks know that a very brief piece of a Fireball XL5 episode appears in the beginning of the movie "That Thing You Do"? You have to watch closely to...
Have you seen this, Larry? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fireball_XL5 Best Wishes, Mick. ... From: Larry Fugate To: fireballxl5@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday,...
Mick, Thanks! I had not seen that. Perhaps later, when I've got a little more time, I'll go back to it and add some material to it. Not much, though, as it...
Morning all, Reference the Wikipedia entry, as it happens I just recently happened to be scanning the Century 21 magazine dated Winter 1992 (Issue No.11), ah...
Hi Rabid, Well, I'm always happy to discuss Fireball XL5. Commander Zero wasn't always so hard on Ninety. I reckon Jonahton makes him crabby. If you had a son...
Hello? You guys still here? I know it's been some time, but I've decided to continue my rants and observations on the series. Anybody here? Oh well. I'm...
Hi Rabid, I imagine that Boris and Grizelda spy on anyone for anyone who pays them enough money. They are freelance spys. Whilst I am happy with Matt's antics...
Thought you'd like to know that Brian Matthews played the full length version of 'Fireball' (i.e. with the extra verse) during his 'Sounds of the Sixties'...
Hi Joan, Thanks for that info and the link. I'm not aware of the full version being available on CD. I've got the Fanderson Supercar/Fireball CD and it has the...
Hi there; nice to see a few posts on the message board again. It was fun to get the old XL5 Box Set out again and watch an episode, though I must confess this...
Hi All I agree with Liz - good to see some activity on this group again. Steve does announce Matt as 'XL5's Engineer and Navigator' in one episode. Regarding...
Although this episode has some really sweet moments, I thought it was kind of "blah". -For the first time in the entire series, we encounter a pair of aliens...
I can't remember where I saw it, but I thought the Aquaphibian's motive was to take the planet back form the people who took it from his race. Anyone else...
I don't think a reason for the attack was given in the show. I did suggest here though that the Aquaphibian's may have been native to that world. I like the...
I guess Steve knows an Aquaphibian when he sees one. I daresay they are fairly common in the universe. Just like humanoids. I would guess that It's a generic...
Hi Rabid XL5 to H2O is one of my favourite episodes. I just wish the space aquaphibian had been a little harder to kill. I would love to have seen the creature...
Hi everyone, I think this is one of the best story ideas in the entire series, but - as ever - in telling that story, there's alot of ground to cover in a...
Hi Liz, Yes, I love the way that they cram so much into each show. The whole story is there but there is still plenty of room for speculative gap filling. I ...
What is it with this series? This is the third episode which didn't actually "happen", out of four in total. While it's not worst Supermarionation series to...
I like Space Pirates. For one thing it features Venus as the heroine. She knows how to deal with Jonathon. The dialogue between Zero and Venus is priceless. ...
... Actually, I miscounted/misremembered: there's only three episodes that "didn't happen" in the Fireball XL5 series: "Flying Zodiac", "Space Pirates", and "A...
