Fanderson - July 31st

Well, would you believe it? It's been years now since the Tracy brothers' wild adventure which doesn't somehow involve Lady Penelope aired in the crazy old world of Japan. And in a somewhat miraculous turn of events, Japan loves marionettes. Because....well, marionettes.

Also, Supercar aired in the UK on this day. Supercaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-WEHEEE!

Fanderson - July 30th

It was a boring day in the UK. Because now Supercar is going to be the only Supermarionation series on TV, back in the day Supercar was the only good Supermarionation series that aired on this day, while we got Twizzle and Turcheh. The lucky people overseas had Fireball XL5 and Captain Scarlet. And of course on this day, another exciting thing happened: Lady Penelope went to the Odeon to promote the then new Thunderbird 6. It was the only cool thing that happened today. I wish more cool thi-hang on, I do scrapbooking, right? YES!
