@oldbritishtelly Correction. Space Patrol wasn’t a Gerry Anderson show. It was created by #RobertaLeigh.

[1962] Sara and Hoppity - Children's puppet series, created and produced by Roberta Leigh. It was based on a series of four books written by Leigh and illustrated by Marion Wilson. Unlike some similar puppet shows of the time, the puppet strings were all but invisible.
