Captain Scarlett was my favourite but was the one that was the least repeated.

It appeals on so many levels. As a kid I mostly enjoyed the more obvious humour, but there is a lot of wit and satire in there. And the show's guest list reads like a who's who of British comedy over the last 40 years

As a tweener in the 80s I loved this
Following an unfortunate rail incident a few years ago I said "You took your time you bastard" in my best Vivien voice as a particular body part was reunited with the rest. Everyone else was too young to get it, but I laughed.

Interesting trivia: The reason why the puppets prior to Captain Scarlett had oversized heads was that the 'Supermarionation' used was a solenoid attached to the mouths that moved them according to the sound/lines being used.
For CS the puppet makers had worked out how to place the solenoid in the chest so the heads could be in proportion.

Not to mention the absolutely pointless but awesome musical interludes…..
Outstanding show.

Fireball XL5 was an early one. Probably the first TV series I can remember watching
