for the nostalgic children's tv fan, this is a slice of the 50s:
http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/33357/hiya-kids-a-50s-saturday-morning-box/

it's nice that it's a large across-the-board collection, rather than
10 hours of something you may not dig too much... it's more like four
different saturday mornings - one on each disc.

i grew up in the 60s, so meeting gerry anderson a few years ago was a
dream come true. remember 'thunderbirds' and 'captain scarlet' and the
other 'supermarionation' shows? he went on to produce 'UFO' and 'space
1999' amongst others... he's a really nice down-to-earth chap.
