Supergran was a superhero from the books by Forrest Wilson. It was a mid-80s TV series with a theme tune sung by Billy Connoly.


I remember Lucy Benjamin being in Press Gang.

Julia Sawalha, Dexter Fletcher, Lee Ross, Gabrielle Anwar... they've all done very well. You can get the first series on DVD I think.

Quote from: smurfboy
I found an essay on the internet once, written completely without irony, suggesting that Smurfette had set the women's movement back twenty years. It complained about her always wearing a dress as it made her a stereotype, and that it was always the same dress - 'which suggests her personal hygiene is poor. How can we respect her in light of this?' Someone should tell the poor deluded woman that most cartoon characters always wear the same clothes!


Here is the link for the 'Smurfy Sexism' essay - it's hilarious!

There are 5 seasons released on DVD Smurfy, I think that's all of them?

It was on Fridays, but they used to have CITV Sunday mornings, so perhaps they repeated it then.

That's right, I remember now, they did a repeat run on 4 on Sunday evenings in the days before ITV and Channel 4 became independent of each other.
