That's no teddy bear, that's your chauffeur, Parker, who comes with "FAB 1", the custom-built Rolls of international sophisticate, Lady Penelope:-

^ HaHa! As I was posting it I wondered how many people here would remember watching that show, and also wondering how convincing the puppets might look to generations more used to CGI. Actually I was quite pleased with the voice-overs and their script; obviously for kids, but quite neat dialogue, concisely conveying both story and character.

I used to watch that show when it was on TV in the 60's and also had several of the toys from the show, including FAB 1. Looking at the show now, I can't help but think of the amount of time and money that must've been put into creating each episode back then. Must've cost a fortune just on set/prop production alone.

^ Aha! So you're pretty old too! Yes, each show was about 45 mins long as I remember. For some reason, I used to love the bit when the palmtrees folded over to reveal a secret runway. As for toys, for a while in England, a cereal company gave away a plastic Thunderbirds vehicle in each box, so I got a few of them that way.

Yep, one of the earliest shows I remember. I think it always ended with They Call the Wind Maria in the credits.
