Mine is UFO. Gabrielle Drake in a purple wig and tight shorts did strange things to my teenage loins.

Thunderbirds a clear favourite for me. Watched it religiously as a kid, and have every episode on DVD. Enjoyed Captain Scarlett a fair bit too, and Stingray to a lesser extent. But they didn't have the same sense of awe and enjoyment of Thunderbirds. Never really saw enough of Joe 90 to really get into it, but what I did see didn't really enthuse me.

Never seen any of the others, but Sledger Snr reliably informs me that Fireball XL5 is rather good.

AWTA.

I was a massive Thunderbirds fan as a kid. My father then later introduced me to UFO - "It's so bad it's almost kinda good", but I wasn't nearly as much of a fan.

I'm watching Thunderbirds right now. All of the episodes are on youtube. Ah, the nostalgia.

The theme music of Fireball XL-5 is just great though, I have realised.

Not as great as Thunderbirds' mind you.

Thunderbirds also had Cliff Richards as a guest star, which was weird.

Well you could be listening to the Busted Thunderbirds song, never did see that film.

The song was the best thing about it.

Unless you wish to permanently sour a lot of fond memories, I urge you to refrain from ever watching that "film". Gerry Anderson calling it a "disgrace" was a massive understatement.

Edit: he also apparently said "it was the biggest load of crap I have ever seen in my life," sentiments which I find it hard not to endorse.
