Torchy the Battery Boy, Gerry Anderson 1960s

very Early Gerry anderson work

[johnlong]

Some of my earliest memories along with Twizzle and others. Now seems very quaint but slightly creepy too.

Thank you for a trip back in time for me, keep more coming please

I remember the intro and theme song but not any of the episodes !☺

This was a lot of fun!🌞 I had read about Torchy...and Twizzle before him...but this is my first time seeing some episodes(just watched my first episode of Four Feather Falls yesterday). Very enjoyable! My heart just naturally went out to Flopsy; I want to help Torchy protect her from creeps like Pongo, but he probably doesn't need my assistance(lol).
I also loved the closing credits, the way they were presented: the lettering(font), the music and vocals, and the feeling of ascension, a leisurely travel through space. Great stuff. 🌞😊

How on earth did we survive in those days? They hadn't even invented Esther Rantzen

[johnhope]

All episodes of the series still exists intact

Torchy sounds like Queenie in Black Adder

[Graytail]

Does anyone else think Pongo looks like Jonathan Harris, back when he played Dr.Smith ?

First program I remember watching, possibly a much earlier poor quality 405 line version, probably around 1957. Always running oit og battery at critical moments… just like real life today! lol😂

This was a Roberta Leigh production, along with Space Patrol.

It'd be better without that huge logo in the upper left.

FLOPSY: A pudding with ' Tapioca, semolina and saigo rice all mixed together! -how

[keep_it_real_]

I used to absolutely love this 🤣...it's so dated and that woman's shreechy voice 😂😂...some of it seems so wrong...and i don't remember Torchy looking so hideous 🤣🤣🤣

[keouine]

The lady sounds like Bernadette on Big Bang Theory

[benclasper]

Does anyone know what the sound was that made when torchy’s beam used to shine or what they used to make the sound effect every time.

[benclasper]

Flopsy has a really cute voice in this.

[Spillage]

Did you see what was sitting in the tree swing?

"I love to pinch and spank..." WTH!

[abraxasjinx]

I can understand most UK accents pretty well, but this sounds like garbled nonsense recorded through a 1950s telephone.

[rrfirefly]

Such a large logo top left. Ruins everything.
