Gerald Harper has passed at 94 Adam Adamant was probably how I will always remember him although the Fail focused on him having been Sarah Alexander's girlfriend....
Hadleigh too I believe, but a bit before my time, one of those 9 O'clock ITV shows that passed me by due to me being at school at the time! Just about the only show from that spot in that era that I have memory off is the Sweeney and I am sure that is because it was repeated far more often than shows like Hadleigh!
Adam Adamant , frozen in time and thawed out in the 1970s , he wore a cape and had a walking stick that contained a sword , I also remember his Capital Radio show that Mum listened to " The Sunday Affair " where he played love song requests and gave out Champagne and chocolates
I last saw him in my train carriage yonks ago.I was straining to remember series of that time but can't as I sit here!!!! I do wish you could watch 3 series I get late over here.....Emergency (suicidal fireman/medical men,) Adam 12 (2 cops in a police car on call) and Barney Miller (detective series with so much humor).
Favourite HB cartoon was Top Cat (boss cat ) and Favourite character was Jane Jetson or Betty Rubble ( hormones raging )
So many iconic cartoon characters. I’m surprised they’re not shown so much these days because they are timeless, even. Great theme times too. In the wonderland zoo… ….there a modern stoneage family…. Hong Kong Phooey, number one super guy… Scooby Dooby Doo, looking for you Some great characters- Snagglepuss (clue above), Barney, Dastardly & Mutley, TC, Thelma … the list in endless. And the ability to make them appealing to both children and adults is priceless. And they did the Banana Splits too
