Victor Spinetti just died, so I wanted to review one of his credits. "SuperTed" is fairly interesting, if not great. I saw it on video a few times when I was young. It wasn't even until many years later that I learned that Victor Spinetti provided the voice of villain Texas Pete (by which point I knew Spinetti as the co-star from the Beatles' movies). In fact, providing the voice of Bulk was Spinetti's "Help!" co-star Roy Kinnear (also memorable as Mr. Salt in "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory"). Reading about the show, I was surprised to learn that it comes from Wales; I've always thought that we don't hear enough about that country.Anyway, it's an OK show. Nothing particularly special, but pretty entertaining.Bones!
... View MoreDuring my childhood I watched a lot of cartoons, and at 18 I was thinking the other day of cartoons I watched but I had forgotten about. SuperTed was one of them. A wonderful show, that should've lasted longer. Beautiful animation, great music, wonderful plot-lines, intelligent writing and lovable characters including SuperTed, Spotty and Skeleton are only a few things to like about the show. What made the characters lovable were that they had unique and distinct personalities and that they were very well-voiced by the likes of Jon Pertwee. I also loved the concept of SuperTed, and the well- thought out plot-lines which did really well staying consistent ensured the show stayed true to the concept. Maybe it is just me, but SuperTed has to be one of the most underrated shows out there, it was wonderful and I feel utterly ashamed for having forgotten it. 10/10 Bethany Cox
... View MoreI totally adore Superted! He was everything a Woman could want out of a man! Spotty acted a bit more as a Woman and was totally gay, while superted acted manly with his Heroic efforts to save the Earth. The Best Episodes where ''Superted and the Porthole Rescue'' and ''Superted and the Great Horrendo''. Where Superted acts pretty Harsh to Spotty for a reluctant attempt of a Rescue Mission, he only ends up with losing him in the underground peneye Porthole Waterfall!:( That was so Srong/Powerful it had me crying in Emotional Despair,) when I was a Kid. It was also so incredibly Powerful enough to actually see Superted cry in Pain as he thought his friend Spotty had really died/Perished in the up coming waters of the waterfall and a great Relief/Joy to see Superted so happy as he eventrully finds and saves Spotty from Falling to his Death for a Second Time Round.The other Best Episode has to be when Superted though Spotty had been sawed in half, in other words Sawed/Manslaugthered to Death by the Monstrous,evil Texas Pete.
... View MoreWhen I was a kid this used be one of my favourite cartoons ever. I don't remember seeing it on TV, but we had a couple of videos. It's about a teddy bear brought to life by a spotty man's cosmic dust. He then takes him to Mother Nature who gives him special powers. "That bear became SuperTed!" SuperTed always lived in space and rescued anyone in danger or with problems. Spotty was a little bit wimpy sometimes, but he was a good partner, I didn't realise he was voiced by Worzel Gummidge, Jon Pertwee! Anyway, SuperTed's most popular villains are Texas Pete the cowboy with his two helpers the fat and stupid Bulk, and the wimpy Skeleton. I don't know if it the stories I liked, or the fact that the hero was a teddy bear. But it is very good, kids will love it!
