Space - where we were supposed to be lost in

Hover Cars. They are a symbol of what the future should have been and not what it is. I used to be a huge fan of Lost in Space - "Danger, Will Robinson" squawked Robbie the Robot.
My Saab is just as annoying as Robbie in issuing danger warnings, and the little dwarf lady who resides in the automated checkout at Tesco, ditto, so I suppose there has been some progress.

Anyway, connections: Will Robinson was played by Billy Mumy. Billy Mumy must have taken a lot of drugs because he later formed a musical unit called Barnes and Barnes and sang about Fish Heads:
