I did too. I wiki-ed it this afternoon and it only ran 3 series from '51 to '53. It wasn’t shown on BBC until about '56 or so but I watched that episode this afternoon and it was so openly moralising…very funny.
I remember stopping off at Lone Pine in California one visit and drove out to Movie Flats Road where they used to film some of the episides. I climbed up into the rocks with my camera mono-pod as a rifle while my missus took pictures.
The Banana Splits was a favourite of mine - strange thing is I remember it in colour, but my folks only had a black and white TV when I was a small nipper.
To be fairJimmy So vile does have his defenders. Just this week Susan Boyle disclosed that when she was a young teenager she appeared on Jimlfixit and Jimmy never laid a finger on her.
I loved The Lone Ranger…something mystical about Tonto…great name of the actor who played him…Jay Silverheels, his real name wasn’t so romantic…Harold Preston Smith but was still a real Native American.
