Glen Michael has landed a role in the new Superhero movie Kick ass as its writer Mark Miller was a huge fan of the show.

I used to watch it every week but hated his flippin' talking lamp.
I always kept my fingers crossed that they'd show one of the Filmation superhero cartoons featuring Hawkman, Green Lantern or the like or Robin Hood in space.
Any other fans of the show?

The man's 82.

It was an STV show I think and Border didn't always show it. It's a real shame the TV channels don't use cartoons to fill in gaps in the schedules like they used to. Whole generations growing up not knowing the joys of a 5 minute cartoon.

Glen Michael, Paladin, Sport Billy, Bird-Man, Cantinflas (probably better known as Amigo here) and Asterix.

The guy broadcast his later shows frm a Y-Wing fighter. A Y-Wing, people!

Used to love watching this as a kid.

Am I dreaming or did they used to do a Cartoon Cavalcade special when it was the Scottish Cup Final?

He was on the 5:30 Show the other day and looked quite sprightly for being 82.
