    Thomas and Sarah the spin off from Upstairs Downstairs. 
    However, it wasn’t as good as Upstairs Downstairs. I think Gordon Jackson was such a good actor.

    Kid's nowadays don't know what they missed, the best ever kids programmes:-

    Thunderbirds (original series 1965 & 66)

    Stingray

    Captain Scarlet

    Joe 90

    Fireball XL5

    Watching Thunderbirds again 50+ years on and liking it, gone back to my childhood!! These are programmes that were and are cult status especially Thunderbirds. Should never have stopped the programme. It was some uniformed head of a production company that pulled the plug on Thunderbirds, an ill informed decision from somebody without a clue! Leaving generations of kids disappointed!
