Clearest Love Bug TV footage out there! thanks for sharing!

[@MikeDyer6378]

Thanks for uploading this. Anything press related to the 1982 TV series of Herbie is rare, this is practically unreal.

Patricia Harty was a lifelong dancer, a lovely person in every way and she was always striving to be better at everything. It was great to know her and her husband Les (Sheldon). I miss her, and watching her in this video is sort of like getting a fleeting moment with her again. Thanks for posting this.

Herbie's number 53 did in fact had a special significance.The Love Bug producer, Bill Walsh was a fan of Don Drysdale. 53 was his baseball uniform number.

Dean looked like he could play James Bond’s younger brother (to Sean Connery).

Poor Patricia got short shrift here. She starred in Occasional Bride, Blondie and The Bob Crane Show before this.

I think she was a blond then too.

Does anyone else think Patricia Harty is/was a dead ringer for Nicola Pagett?

[@jediskunk67]

Fix the damn audio!
