Casey Jones: a happy steam train driver?

    No Googling as ordered, Sah!
    29 titles, I remember 17 of them.
    How about adding
    The Freewheelers and Time Slip.
    Ten Town and Skippy and The Stranger and Barrier Reef? (All Aussie exports I saw on UK telly as a kid)

    ...and do any Moonbasers remember Robinson Crusoe or Captain Stepos?

  2. I recognize Kodiak. It was about an Alaskan State Trooper, and starred Clint Walker I think. Short lived, but I liked it.

  3. The Baron. The original books referred to a character who held the title Baron. To sell this series to the US, ITC changed the idea to a Texas Oil Baron and imported to the UK American actor Steve Forrest. It wasn't particularly successful but Steve Forrest later made the TV series S.W.A.T. in the US which was successful.

  4. Tom Foolery Show- a completely trippy experience. Like a cross between Yellow Submarine and Hilaire Beloc.
