  • The Adventures of Twizzle (or simply Twizzle as it was known in some territories) was the very first television show produced by AP Films and specifically Gerry Anderson, after being approached by author Roberta Leigh (who also co-produced with Anderson) and her colleague Suzanne Warner. Sources vary as to who directed the series. In addition to his production duties, Anderson also directed the action whilst photography was directed by Arthur Provis, Anderson's founding partner at AP Films. Music was scored by Barry Gray, art direction came from Reg Hill and special effects (which at the outset amounted largely to scenery painting) were by Derek Meddings, all of whom would become long-time collaborators with Anderson. Twizzle - from whom the series gets its name - is a boy doll with the ability to extend (or "twizzle") his legs and arms and wears a pixie like hat and has a cat companion known as "Footso". Although a boy, he was voiced by a woman, Nancy Nevinson who also narrated the series. Denise Bryer did Footso and the other voices. The series follows his adventures as he uses his abilities to get out of trouble. In all, 52 episodes were made in black and white , although only the first, Twizzle and Footso, is believed to survive and was included as an additional feature on the boxed set of the entire series of Space Patrol released in 2003. In 2006, however, it was claimed that a compilation of various episodes exists on betamax format video tape, found on sale in the Middle East (notably Jeddah).
