Supercar

Anderson's first half-hour series for ITC was aimed at children, and concerned a nifty mode of transport called Supercar. Piloted by Mike Mercury, the car had all sorts of wondrous design fixtures: no wheels, for it rode on a cushion of air; retractable wings and a jet engine enabled it to fly; it even worked underwater! 39 episodes were transmitted between 28/01/61 and 29/04/62. In common with many Anderson series, the music was composed and conducted by Barry Gray. The opening and closing theme song vocalist for the first series was Mike Sammes; his vocal group The Mike Sammes Singers re-recorded it for series two.
