    Storyline

    Edit
    In a small British town lives an old lady who is making the best of her weak condition until small-time criminal mastermind The Scunner Campbell steals a new invention that he hopes will grant him superpowers--as soon as he makes it work. However, a botched firing makes the beam go astray and it hits the Granny instead. Suddenly, she gains super strength and speed to become the local superhero, Super Gran. Now, Supergran protects her town from the forces of evil, although The Scunner Campbell is not exactly a major challenge. —Kenneth Chisholm (kchishol@rogers.com)

    Hang about, look out for Supergran
    Just adding to the international flavour of the comments, this show used to be on the ABC if I recall correct during afternoons in the late 80's. Silly, barely watchable but memorable, I still remember the catchy theme tune (sung by Billy Conolly, who'd've thought?). I remember watching some episodes but preferred cartoons such as The Real Ghostbusters or The Bugs Bunny Show at the time.

    I have very little to add as I didn't watch the show much, but ten lines of text are required. Metal Mickey was another UK show where I remember the theme but hardly remember anything of the actual show itself.
