Hey Gareth

I don't recall that one but while watching related links, they had "The Banana Splits" "HR puffnstuff""Catweazle"
and the memory is triggered by a bunch of chopper riding cartoon mice?
Thanks for the trip down memory lane

I got the complete DVD box set of The Twilight Zone at Christmas.
Making my way through them.
Surprised that I had hardly seen any of them.

Still on the first season, don't know how it changes as it gets older.

Still gets a run here every now and then. Apparently they only made about a dozen episodes.

Its quite amazing that a show of only 12 episodes could generate such a huge following. probably the best sitcom of all time!!

are you aware that Polly was John Cleese's real wife at the time?

My favourite episode was with the intermittently deaf Mrs Richards!
