Quite a subversive show, really - its mentioned a couple of times that they are all (the cats) on welfare and in one episode they are making money by having Benny the Ball step out in front of cars and pretend to get knocked down...

I was a very sad Cell Block H fan, used to stay up far too late to watch that back in the late 80's - I'm sure it was in the vein hope of some decent lesbian action!

Rocket Man sucked - that's why you don't remember it - but it was on with all those other shows - in fact as I remember they put all the same stuff on every holiday - if the schools were 'in' there was no TV before about 11 a.m.The Flashing Blade I remember, Rocket Man I don't...

Robinson Crusoe and Flashing Blade - I must have seen them both all the way through about five times!
