Production notes

Only this series of Torchy The Battery Boy was produced by Gerry Anderson and AP Films. A second was produced by Associated British Pathe for Roberta Leigh. Although the second series utilized the puppets, sets and music created by AP Films for the first series, neither Gerry Anderson nor the AP Films team were involved in the production of these later episodes
