Space Patrol, I barely recall this but all I remember is " Gamma rays on, betta waves on", just before this shiny bottle top of a silver space ship took off.

In my early days there were only 2 channels and we rented the TV from "Red Arrow" then I remember them converting the set to include BBC2, this was on UHF not VHF that the original 2 were on.
There was a huge handle on the side that went clunk and you had to have 2 aerials, a H shaped aerial for VHF and the conventional aerial for UHF.

Black and white of course, and the white dot in the centre of the screen when you turned it off. Just before the National anthem came on at 11:00pm.


I could list dozens more....
