    I’m 68, and I can’t believe I used to watch this every week, in 1962 and 63. I remember it being one of my favorite shows on TV. Our standards then weren’t ruined by CGI.

    I’m in the UK and lived near a town called Slough. There was an industrial estate called Slough Industrial Estate. Next to a side road , Dover Road, over a railway line was the long single story building where all these were made
    I was 7 and with a couple of friends we used to sit on the bridge road embankment and look down into the building. We saw Fireball XL5 being pulled on wires across a moon like table. We were lucky once when Silvia Anderson came out with some drinks for us. She explained that they would have to put blinds up at the windows because of the light
    We never got to see in again but for a few weeks we did. I didn’t realise we were watching history

I spoke to a gentleman from England several years ago and he told me his father ran a chippy in a small town near Nottingham and that the fish and chips are not what they used to be there either nowadays. He said his Dad used beef drippings to cook the fish and chips in originally and when everyone went bonkers about cholesterol etc, he switched, like everyone else, to vegetable oil and things were never the same. I'd say he nailed it. French fries in the States were much better back when everything was cooked in lard for the most part.

    Appointment TV for me when I was 10 years old. I was surprised when it disappeared after just a couple of years, at least where I lived. 60 years have gone by since I last saw it - it never showed up in syndication. I suppose not enough episodes were produced. When I saw the thumbnail on my feed, the theme song immediately came to mind, and I remembered most of it. I hate to be positive, but I love UA-cam for being a vehicle to bring back the entertainment of my childhood.

    That Supercar theme song beats them ALL. And every TV show had some kickass theme music by the 70s with full on orchestras...But NOTHING is better than SUPERCAR!! I was lucky enough to find a Supercar Little Golden book years ago. 👍👍👍👍 My love for Supercar has to come from growing up outside Detroit with a GM tech designer dad & seeing concept car designs & new cars not in production yet such as the 67 Camaro drawn on the formica dining room table. Having muscle cars as the family vehicle such as a Corvette in 57 & then the Camaro then the 70 SS Chevelle in the driveway being souped up to 500HP might have something to do with it. MORE POWER, CAPTAIN!!😁

    I used to watch it religiously from the first episode till the last when I was a little kid! They must have reached transferred the old film and cleaned it up digitally because this is an amazing good copy. Extra thanks to the production company that did this

    I used to love the sound when it was flying fast, had a fairly big plastic (polythene?) toy of Supercar at the time, bet it would be worth a fortune now! And when they were firing up the engines somebody used to say "interlock on", that sounded so damn exciting!😃👍

    Mike Mercury is horribly deformed, and even wearing his Aviator sunglasses at 19:06 can't hide his disfigurement... but that probably gave him the strength of character to do something with his life and become the pilot of Supercar, the marvel of the age. Hooray for Mike Mercury!

    LOL! I can't believe how riveted we kids were watching this in the early 60s. Wide eyed in fascination at the "futuristic" puppet show. Loved them all, and even further back to Andy Pandy, The Woodentops and Bill and Ben. Kids today go from being toddlers to gaming machines, not much in between, and I bet parents don't read their children bedtime stories or nursery rhymes any more which I find very sad. Kids today seem to be brought up with a laptop on their knees, rather than being allowed to be children.

    Supercar. You automatically know that Chrysler, Ford, and GM, had nothing to do with creating something, with the word 'super', in it😏!!! I grew up with shows, such as this (I was born, a year after this), but for some odd reason, our television stations deprived us, of this wonderful, children's show🤨. This is the first time of even, LEARNING 'bout this, let alone, seeing it. So good, I'll tack on to, the 2nd. episode. Thank you for the introduction👍😁!!!!
