And also featuring the wonderful Kenneth Connor's voice.
"Torchy returns to earth to find Mr. Bumbledrop asleep. Not wishing to wake his friend, he sets the table and putters around the house doing nice things. Unfortunately, his battery wears out and he collapses in the garden, where he's found by twins Bobby and Babs. The dastardly duo decide to take him home and imprison him in a chicken run, but Mr. Bumbledrop figures out what has happened and comes to his rescue. The old man and toy-boy decide to go to Topsy Turvy Land and lure the twins into the rocket with a bag of toffee, but Mr. Bumbledrop is slow to react and gets left behind." (Wiki)
Note: Bobby and Babs were the first prototypes for Supermarionation.
All episodes were in black and white of course but I'm working my way through colourising Series 1 using Deoldify and with some further enhancements in PowerDirector 10.
