The Protectors - Gerry Anderson production, 'Avenues and Alleyways'theme tune and the lovely Nyree Dawn Porter too. *sighs*
I used to be a terror for TV Detectives, but always found Columbo and Canon a bit boring. I'm sure Steve McGarrett (Hawaii Five-O) must have been inspired by Elvis.
Superman, Batman and Robin - all thriller no filler illustration only. Luscious.
It Wasn't all action for 74 there were cartoons and comic annuals too.
I only found out about the Whizzer characters sneaking into Chips stories and vice versa, years after I stopped reading W & C ( I think Minnie's mixer - one of my faves had been phased out by the 74 annual).
The BBC always had the best cartoons.

I used to love annuals. I had that Pixie & Dixie book.

Jon Pertwee. Now HE was a Doctor!!
had all of those bar the pixie n dixie one i think. still got all my 'british comic' annuals (about 60 of em!) beezer, W&C, buster, krazy, cheeky, whoopee, cor (you cant make a monkey out of gus)
VS - John Pertwee was my all time fave' Doctor and Sarah Jane still gets me glowing. (do you remember Planet of the Spiders - truly terrifying).
P Have you got Leo Baxendale's 3rd Willy the Kid Annual in your collection ? Reading the 12 days of Christmas from WTK 2 to my two at the mo' and ordered up the Marvel Holiday Grab Bags (remember them?)from Ebay
I'm sure I has a Professionals annual. Does anyone else remember this ? I don't remember it being very good by the way !
EFR there were about 3 Professionals annuals - I'll be featuring one of them soon, one is a quite collectable too.
