I was going to send this out but then I realized that not many would know who Captain 11 was. How many of you grew up with a local after school kids program on TV?

Quote:

CAPTAIN 11! Today's man of the Future!"

"One man in each century is given the power to control time. The man chosen to receive this power is carefully selected. He must be kind. He must be fair. He must be brave. You have fulfilled these requirements; and, we of the Outer Galaxies designate to you the wisdom of Solomon and the strength of Atlas. YOU are CAPTAIN 11!"

Starting March 7, 1955, the half hour show aired weekday afternoons at around 4:00pm. During most "Captain 11's" run, KELO-land's weather man, Dave Dedrick, donned the headphones and gold-trimmed blue suit to introduce cartoons and to interview visiting children in the studio. Many of these children or "crew members" came on the show to celebrate birthdays and to flip the colored "jewels" on Captain 11's famous "time converter" control panel. Others just came for their fifteen minutes of fame. Any kid appearing on the show was seen by his or her friends, and would be the "talk of the playground" the following day.

You just got "Right said Fredded". The same fate befell me last night mate.

I have a phobia bout the big fella that does the singing... Thanks Eight, you kept me awake all night.

Your Gilbert O' Sullivan retaliation totally wrong-footed me though. I was going for the Cliff Richard double.

I'm having a rest now but I can now let it be known that Buster Bloodvessel would have been a killer blow for me and would have been forced to concede.

The memories would have came flooding back of seeing them at the students union in Glasgow and Buster Bloodvessel (or one of the members) had a fight live on stage with the drummer from The Fall. I think most people thought it was a joke, or just some crazy act, until the police arrived. The show was over when Buster Bloodvessel was handcuffed with a number of officers trying to pin him to the ground..... on stage

Wow leccy, some gig.
Buster isn't exactly the quiet retiring type is he? Or the smallest of folk to try and handcuff.

I once worked with a girl whose boyfriend's brother was in Bad Manners

I've seen Bad Manners twice at an outdoor biker festival.

Which means of course I've seen Mr Bloodvessel's arse more than twice, he can't keep it to himself for long on stage Sad

No thanks to iMike for Mark Almond in a bloody nightie, I had no option but to unleash John McCirrick...

I drag myself away from the Arsenal match, to find Right Said Fred and Stanley Baxter waiting for me?? Dear me! Shocked

Well, you certainly got your revenge in pretty smartly. Shocked

I have the doppelganger to yours on its way to you right now. Laughing

Put me off my dinner that did! However, I have been merciful and sent you something a bit nicer! Laughing

@ Roycropper _ I sat next to Buster on a plane to Stockholm. I was desperate to talk to him but didn't want the small talk all the way through the flight. Just as he got up I said. "Buster, my football team runs out to one of your songs." Happy days. Oh one more thing... you've been Johned!!!
