There was a Look-In Follyfoot special in 1973.

I’m up for some Melchester Jim-Jams.

Looking forward to a bit of Stingray. From memory it starts off a little infantile in places but soon sheds that ahead of the leap to Thunderbirds.

TV Comic was always a penny more than its competitors but always very entertaining. I never understood the inclusion of Mighty Moth but what a great 5 minute cartoon it would have made.
