I just googled for Stainless Steel & drew a blank. Maybe I imagined it....

Here ya go, Fray101:

and yes, the words "never returning" have a Poe-esque doom-laden, presentment-of-disaster feel all their own …

Oooh, we should do a thread about TV shows with never resolved cliffhangers like The Tripods or Bugs (or even Red Dwarf).

Gotta say it sounds like one of those shows that’s better in your memory that actually re-watching – I mean: “ Stainless Steel, Utensil, the Canz and Gadget”???

I bring to mind many, many great children’s shows including Children of Fire Mountain (remember that? I’m beginning to think I imagined it as no one else does and I can’t find anything on Google!)

Zoot - I have no doubt you're right! It's funny how some things just stick in your mind all these years though. Sorry to say I have no recollection of Children of Fire Mountain, but ah, the Tripods....surely with TWOTW fever this is the time for them to make a comeback?!

Yes I remember the Tripods - used to scare the pants off me - though why ungainly pieces of metal should do that, I've no idea ...

I also have a vague memory of another children's TV programme - slightly after my time but was on when I got home from school - about a futuristic cop who sort of gave lectures on his adventures, which were presented in a kind of card-board cut out format - sounds insane but is all I can remember ...

Sorry to say I have no idea what that one could be!

But thinking back on all these old shows (some of which were decidedly quirky!), was Wonderfalls so off the wall that people couldn't handle it? All we get these days is hospital dramas, 10 different CSIs etc.

I know what you mean - It's ridiculous - especially to someone who grew up with such insanity as The Adventure Game (when reality TV game shows were PROPER!!) and Fingermouse!!
