Kids from Owl was another terrible kiwi kids show .
I remember Davidav boasting one time his wife was the girl in the Mad Dog Gang which is probably the most random thing I’ve ever seen posted here.

Yep, one of the few books I had to read for school that I actually ended up really liking.

Must be time for me to (again) mention Joanna Lumley opening her front door to me wearing only her chemise
Actually had dinner with her once - terrific person.
Was helping out at a Variety Club event for handicapped kids and she was doing the teas and drinks for everyone. There was a meal for all the helpers afterwards and she sat at our table.
We mentioned that one of our group had the serious hots for her but had to miss the meal for another event. She asked for his name and address and he got a thank you card from her a few days later.
Class act.

Never saw UFO, but Space 1999 definitely.
There's a vintage TV channel here in the UK and I've been watching a legal drama from the early 70's called The Main Chance. It's really good.

I don't remember that one. I did hunt for years for info about the Galaxy Rangers and half believed I dreamed it. Then I found the Toy Galaxy Youtube channel which discussed it and then a week later Mark Bernadin on the Fatman Beyond podcast mentioned it.
Here's their Sky Commanders episode:
