1960's pre news cartton

[prettypaperprints]

Hi all ....hoping someone can help me out here.

I have been trying to find a video clip of a little cartoon that I think came on before the news started. 

The background music is called  Telstar by the Tornados. 

From memory, it was a little planet (Ithink) moving aound the sky and passing the moon etc. 

Here is a link to what the music sounded like.

If anyone can give me the year, what TV channel it was etc, I would be very grateful. My Dad passed away a while ago, and I remember running into the lounge you to sit on his lap and watch it. 

I would so love to see it again.

Cheers 🙂

That looks like it Jimmy.  The closest I could find was a BBC news one with a meteor flying around the world but the music wasn't quite right.

Hi ...thanks for getting back to me.  This click is similar, but there were no robots in the one I saw. 

Cheers

Hi... Do you have the link to the one you found with the meteor flying around the world ?

Maybe that is what I saw.

Cheers 🙂

That was gigantor in that video. I don't why it was there, but looking around it sounds like Prince planet, but has a different them song...so probably not it.

Was it black and white? Any more clues?

Had fun looking though. I saw some that I remember talking to my older brother about.

Thanks...it is fun looking at all the old stuff again.

It was in black and white and from memory it came on just before the news. I think it was how people new the news was about to come on. I don't remember the channel as I was too young. 

It was a short animated clip where this little planet , I think it was, moved around the sky, passed a smiling moon and I think the milky way had a cow there.

I often have these flash backs of things long ago. I was trying to find the name of a show my Mother used to watch when I was young and all I could remember was being fasinated with all these Kangaroos jumoing around. It took me awhile, but finally found out the show was called Whiplash....all about the begining of Cobb & Co in Australia.

I'm sure my family thought I was mad, but I was finally able to show them the show.

Maybe there is no saved recording of this little TV clip I remember , but thought it was worth a try. The music alone brings back memories.

Cheers
