Thunderbirds Are Go! David Lane
Associated Television (Overseas) Limited / Century 21 Television
No live acting cast
Puppet-based sci-fi adventure film. Why is it here? It's notable for the appearance of Cliff Richard and The Shadows performing in puppet form as Cliff Richard 'Junior'. It was made into an E.P. (now much sought-after) with Cliff singing 'Shooting Star' and The Shadows performing 'Lady Penelope', 'Zero X' and 'Thunderbirds'. Some of the other character voices were provided by Bob Monkhouse, Shane Rimmer, Paul Maxwell and Ray Barrett.

Odd sort of episodic musical comedy film in which Joe Brown stars as 'Johnny Howjego'. Brown and Una Stubbs are thrilled to meet their favourite Italian film star and end up spending a day showing her around London and helping to collect an assortment of unusual headgear - a bobby's helmet, a businessman's bowler and the bearskin of a palace guard. Sid James sings the unforgettable ditty 'Bermondsey'!    You Tube

Surfing documentary with music by The Sandals. One of a few surf films created by the 'trinity' of surf movie-makers Bruce Brown, Phil Wilson and Gregg Noll during the Sixties. This one is not just a surfing film but probably THE cult surfing film of all time. The semi-documentary with crazy, humorous narration by Bruce Brown contains fabulous surfing footage, tracing the travels of a pair of surfers as they follow the 'endless summer' of surf across Africa, Australia, NZ, Tahiti, Hawaii and California.  You Tube

Pop vehicle for Peter Noone and the band, from which came a fairly good E.P. The Top 10 hit single from the film was, unusually, not the title song. While on tour in the USA, the boys might get a spacecraft named after them if they can get to the launch area in time. You Tube
