WE HAVE LIFT OFF! BABE OF THE DAY - AYSHEA BROUGH...

Apparently, all but three episodes of LIFT OFF With AYSHEA were accidentally destroyed during a digital transfer (or something along those lines), which means her later puppet co-stars, OLLIE BEAK and FRED BARKER (no relation to RONNIE or CARNIVAL) now mainly survive only in publicity stills.  (A home recording has subsequently been discovered of the episode featuring DAVID BOWIE's first TV appearance as ZIGGY STARDUST.)  Her show ran from 1969 to 1974, and if you were a kid at the time, Ayshea is bound to have featured heavily in your youthful fantasies.  (She reminds me slightly of IMOGEN HASSALL, another Babe.)
