430 Shuttle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
430 Shuttle was a children's show shown on TVB Jade in Hong Kong during the early to late 1980s. The name represents the show's starting time; 4 o'clock and 30 minutes (4:30pm). This program aimed to educate children about astronomy or related topics with stories, songs, games and other adventures. It provided an opportunity for children to learn about different topics while being entertained at the same time.
The host of the programme was Cheung Kwok Keung aka "KK", with various supporting actress, as well as the "silver" monster "CoCo" and the robot hung on it called "LoBo". When the programme was broadcasting, many of the family in Hong Kong was still watching a Black-and-White TV and though "CoCo" was a gold monster. Some children get disappointed when they saw the "ugly" silver body in Colour TV.
430 Shuttle was replaced in the early 1990s by Flash Fax, another educational children's show.
Among the show's former hosts are famous Hong Kong actors Stephen Chow and Tony Leung.
