I remember "Fireball XL5" very well and the sad part about it was I could even understand what Zunie was saying.
And Auntie Jean Morton with Tinga & Tucker..... Classics!
I also loved watching "Supercar" around the same time but for some reason very few people seem to remember that series.
Takes me back

I think your finger slipped Froth, that's Supercar
A clip of the excellent rocket launch is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oboly57qxjg

frothblower, that can not be the real rocket from fireball xl5. when i used to watch it, the rocket was black and white. great photo
I remember Potty Time with Michael Bentine. Were the Bumberlies on the excellent 'It's A Square World', which was more of a mad-cap grown ups programme? I don't recall much more than it was a well loved show at the time and there were some wonderful dramas played out on what seemed to be a sand tray with small invisible creatures, you could only see the tracks appearing in the sand to follow the action while Bentine did his best to describe the goings on.OK then... ...There was also The Bumberlies with Micheal Bentine.
"Loblob" "Flobberpop" , "Babap ickle Weed" - "Weeeeeeeeeeed". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOv2cUv4gcU&feature=related
