Am I doing this right ????
We got turned back at the border between Belgium an Germany on a school trip cos somebody had written Wir haben den krieg gewonnen in the dirt on the side of the coach
Quite right too. It's Krieg - with a capital K. Honestly - standards nowadays.
I'm sure that reminds me of a sketch - something to do with Romans returning to their homes?

Hello Tosh, got a Toshiba?
Chocky
Jossy's Giants
Johny Briggs
Also Stig of the Dump, Rockcliff's Babies?
...the list goes on and on :lol:
The Chocky opening titles still make me go :scared: :lol:
Can remember most of those! One of the great bennefits of Youtube is being able to make your klids enjoy some of the things you watched when little. My Eldest recently watched all three series of Chocky on youtube. Shes also watched all 8 series of Knightmare
Jossy's giants was one of my all ime faves and can remember Rockcliffs babies, some kind of CID thing I think my parents watched it before I went to bed. My "one thing i remember that nobody else seems to" story also has a weird, strange and spooky element attached to it :eeek:
There used to be a creepy kids' TV programme about a girl in hospital who was given a sketch pad and whatever she drew came to life in her dreams. She ended up being trapped in a dark house with a boy in a wheelchair (he had no legs because she'd forgotten to draw them...). The house was surrounded by evil whispering standing stones with a big eye who were out to get them... It was pretty terrifying stuff for a 7-year-old and i loved it
I never forgot about it and for years I would mention it to people, but no-one else seemed to remember it. Then in about 1990 a film called Paperhouse came out. It was very similar to the TV series and I'm sure it had been based on it, but I could still find no mention of it.
One evening about ten years ago, while working a solo night shift, I suddenly for some reason started to think about this again and did an internet search for Paperhouse. And at last, I found it. There was a site on the web that said that Paperhouse was based on a childrens' TV series, which was called "Escape into Night". I then tried to find out more and discovered the series itself had been based on a best-selling 1950s novel called "Marianne Dreams" by the children's writer Catherine Storr.
For about an hour or so, I became completely absorbed in all this, satisfied that - after about 25 years of searching - I had finally found the answer to this mystery, and reading all I could find out about it and about the author who had created the original storyline (she had been married to the famous psychologist Anthony Storr, and they shared an interest in the paranormal).
Then the morning shift came arrived and gave me a copy of the day's Times newspaper. I absent-mindedly opened it at random. It opened on the obituary page, at the top of which was the obituary for......... Catherine Storr. She had died the previous day. :eeek:

I remember Marriane - was a really great book, I got the book at school as a reward for something. As soon as I saw the series about the stones I knew it was based on the book. It was a tad creepy... :-)
I have to go look it up again now youve mentioned it...

I thought of another one the other night thought it might be fun to go through the thought process I had and maybe those that do remember can see when they get it :)
It was on late night TV ITV there and the main charactor was a policeman on a beach and he had a pony tail.
Hmm not sure if it was Miami, maybe Hawaii. He had an assistant she had red hair.
Hmm maybe he was not a police man I think now he was ex police and he's a private detective now remember he always drove a jeep.
Thats it the main guy was called Nick Slater
It used the Tide is high by Blondoe as the theme, no hang on it was just similar to the Tide is high but was not it ... I think
Hang on he wasent called Nick Slater it was Nick Slaughter, I think :lol:
Umm what was that called, ahh yeh "Tropical heat" Must have been shown around 93-94
Anyone? Probably not :lol:
(ooh and I think the Tide is high type song must of been on the closing credits which I cant find)
