Speaking of cartoons/animation from the 80's does anyone remember the name of an chrildrens animation programme that used to be on ITV. From what i remeber it used to air on a saturday or sunday afternoon and it was set in space with these alien like characters that had these warships. The figures i think were controlled by wires rathern than stop motion.

 

The only name i remeber from the programme was something that sounded like 'Orion'....

Can i point you all in the direction of http://80scartoons.co.uk/ :)

 

My mate runs it, and it should answer all your nostalgia-related questions. Cue the warm fuzzy glow of recounting memories... mmmmmmmmmmmm....

 

Thanks, but after a bit of googling found it;

 

Starfleet. :D

I was thinking about Star Fleet!

 

Watching snippets on Youtube after nearly two decades gave me goosebumps.

 

I was wondering if you guys can help me with a 80's TV programme (not cartoon or kids) that was on the screens very briefly.

 

It was american, about a guy who stole an expensive car and then used it to i think solve crimes. The car was in a warehouse and looked like a red Mclaren F1 with the similar distince front curve. Remeber, this was in the late 80's so if something in a TV prog. looked as drop dead gorgeous as an F1 in RED you must remeber....either that or my memory is playing tricks.

 

It was a truly incredible, expensive looking sports car - the car was red and the car's thief from what i remeber had a perm.

 

Any ideas ?

It think it was called 'Pole Position' or something like that? Wasn't there a male and female detective who went around racing and solving crimes? Kind of like scooby doo meets knight rider!

The name doesn't ring a bell....there was an element of Knight Rider to it, not sure about a woman all i remember is the guy with the perm. Plus, perm guy may have had some kind of mentor in the show.

 

Perm guy was either a burglar or had spent time in prison for thieving cars....

 

I desperately need to see that car again.....

I'm going to go ahead and say it was a show called "Viper" , featuring a red Dodge Viper which was *the* car to feature on magazines and so forth at the time.

 

Although it was an early-mid 90s show, so I may be wrong

No, i already looked that up, this programme was alot earlier....around the time of Airwolf from what i remeber.

 

Plus the car was much better looking than a Viper.
