"It's Mercury-manned, and everyone cries, 'it's the marvel of the age'."

Supercar is a 1960's British children's TV show made in Supermarionation.

Needs a Better Description

Tropes of the show:

 * Absent Minded Professor: Dr. Horatio Beaker, and to some extent Professor Popkiss.
 * Cassandra Truth: In "Transatlantic Cable", when Jimmy sees a light in a sunken submarine, none of the adults believe him.
 * Cool Car/Plane/Boat: Supercar.
 * Curious As a Monkey: Jimmy's pet monkey, Mitch.
 * Kid Hero: Jimmy, both in a dream of his, and a dream of a French girl wanting to be rescued by him in Supercar (She reads the comics).
 * Non Human Sidekick: Jimmy's pet monkey, Mitch.
 * Small Annoying Creature: Mitch the Monkey.
 * Strong Family Resemblance: Dr. Beaker's cousin, Felicity Farnsworth, looks like Beaker in drag.
