Road Rovers

Road Rovers

I'm an original Rovers fan, recording these on VHS magnetic tape each week as they came out, then watching the tape back every day until the next one. I loved the idea of Canosapians, I wished they existed and would be one too, a superpower in itself when you think about it, able to talk to Dogs and Humans.

In 1997 I was also in a Rovers SOS - Save Our Show group that was trying to get them to come back for another season, if you're still out there, hi guys, you know whose tail is wagging.. :)
