fascinated me.
Oh, and Ian Botham.
As the daughter of a Yorkshireman, living in Somerset, cricket was always gonna be in my life.
But living in Taunton where SCC were 'home', in the 1970's, when cricket was popular, Ian Botham walked out to the crease for England and seemed unstoppable.

i used to enjoy Tarzan swinging from tree to tree.
Then there was spiderman in his cool costume.
The bionic man was great, I once went to the barbers to get my hair cut like steve austin, but chickened out at the last minute, probably a good thing.
Then into my teens, it had to be Clint Eastwood biggrin

I had a strange infatuation with Bonnie Langford. I think it was the hair colour.

I was never into Bagpuss as a child ........
BUT
i have a huge bapuss collection of cuddly toys, watches and almost evry pair of socks i own are bagpuss!!!!!!
I even use the name bagpuss on another chatroom but didnt want to in here for the obvious reasons! lol

just thought of another one....Ling Chung...was the good fella in the chinesse program " The water Margins" used to be able to swing his sword and cut people in half !!!!.....then also loved Monkey.....the other chinesse thing that they used to have on. He used to blow in his hand and a cloud would appear to move him around...cool or what !!!

And for similar reasons, I avoided Drooper (Banana Splits again!).
I always wanted to join brave lads of the Trumpton Fire Brigade ...Pugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew...

Jon and Ponch from CHiP's
Bodie and Doyle from the Professionals

Right from being a little gal my hero was Wolverine!
Jogged my memory with Dan Tanner :shock: Gawd!
Blondie would come a close second though - my first cassette (along with Tommy Steeles greatest hits - didn't have the same effect funnily enough) and I worshipped her!

I think this is an interesting thread (I was actually looking for something else but hey, that's the vaults for you!)
I'm not sure I had 'heroes' as a kid. I adored the whole Kids from Fame thing and really wanted to be that talented and dance on NYC taxis and burst into spontaneous song in the college canteen... but am not sure I would have called them heroes.
dunno
