This was another little offering from Oz.
It featured a little boy hero who got hold of a special boomerang. And when he threw it, for the duration of its flight, time stood still for everything and everyone except its thrower.
Inevitably, he got into all sorts of scrapes and adventures, but all he had to do was give his boomerang a good throw and he could work some out-of-the-nick-of-time escape. In one episode, he threw the thing and instead of coming back it got lodged up a tree that was too hard to climb, plunging the world into limbo. I forget how he got out of that one.
I haven't seen or heard of the program since it was screened back in the 1960's, so I guess it's been lost. That's a pity.
Another highly entertaining feature was the wretched Aussie dubbing that plagued their early programs. Sometimes it was difficult to tell which voice belonged to which actor!
Later programs are much improved, but comparatively lacklustre in originality.
