  Joe 90 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Joe 90 is a 1968 Sylvia and Gerry Anderson television show concerning the adventures of a nine-year-old boy, Joe McClaine.
Joe's adoptive father and computer expert, Professor Ian "Mac" McClaine, invented a large computer called BIGRAT (an acronym for Brain Impulse Galvanoscope Record And Transfer) that allowed skills to be copied from the minds of top experts in their fields to another person.
The character of Joe 90 was innocent and childlike without his glasses, but often quite adult sounding, and occasionally patronising when wearing his glasses, due to the expert nature of the brain patterns he was using.

 Joe 90
Joe adored his two new-found friends, and for the first time he experienced the family life he had been missing, becoming a real person instead of just another name in a register.
It was a bitter blow to Joe, for it was the first time he had felt deep emotion, the loss of a loved one.
The information on this character comes from Andrew Frampton's Joe 90 website at www.bigrat.co.uk, and is used with his kind permission.

 Review - DVD: Joe 90 - The Complete Series
This doesn't seem to bother him, but when their American friend, Sam Loover (who Joe calls Uncle Sam, isn't that cute?) approaches the Prof with a wacky, nutty plan to use Joe as a spy, armed with brainloads of information from more recognizable spies or unwilling enemy agents, well...

 Joe 90 @ peermusic - The Independent Major
Appropriately titled Dream This, Joe 90's debut album floats along the porous border separating reality from unreality.
The first single Drive features the Zen-like chorus "Time doesn't know what it's time for us all to know." Testimony to Joe 90's way with a hook, the moody song with damaged guitars, is a collage of lyric fragments seemingly plucked out of the ether.
Dream This is also notable for it's penchant of mixing sober lyrics with sunny melodies and meshing classic songwriting set to colorful modern stories.

 Television Heaven
A to Z of TV Gerry Anderson's ninth consecutive TV puppet series and the sixth in the ever expanding Supermarionation stable, Joe 90 marked the beginning of a conscious change of style and pace towards the more realistic sophistication of character design and technique which had begun with Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons.
At the outset of each mission, Joe would be placed in a special chair that rose up into a circular cage which revolved as the BIG RAT tape containing the chosen specialist's brain patterns was run and fed directly into the boy's mind.
Once the transfer was complete, Joe would don a pair of 'electrode glasses' to trigger the new knowledge housed within him.
