Ok. how about a trip down memory lane, can you remember your favourite tv shows when you were a kid ? Some will have to remember further back than others....no names mentioned :giggle:
here are a few of mine
rentaghost...now there's a classic !
Captain CAAAaaaaaaavvvve MAAAaaaaaan !
Hong Kong Phooey !
Touche Turlte !
and of course....Danger Mouse !!
Yeah - I loved all of those.... but what about Hickory House - that was excellent, and that one with Hartley Hare, but i can't remember the name of it. Oh and Magic Roundabout - what a show!
I have Sky and watched Dangermouse and Hong Kong Phooey constantly til I could take no more rolleyes I even stayed up all night once and watched 4 hours of back to back Magic Roundabout :shock:
Oh you forgot Willow the Wisp!!!
Loved captain Caveman lol
Hong Kong Phooey was brill - Brumlad, I even nearly fancied you with that Avatar, only nearly tho :twisted: :sparring:
Rhubarb n Custard was another fave, and the Mr men biggrin
Todays cartoons are just not the same - with the exception of Spongebob Square pants - hes my hero lol
Youve got me thinking now Brumlad,but ive racked my brains about this and come up with a few classics for you all :-
Captain Scarlet
The Avengers (3rd series)Linda Thorsen used to get my testosterone going.
Scooby Doo-not with that horrid scrapy doo in either.
The Banana Splits-what ever happened at the end of Danger Island
Department S and Jason King-Peter Wyngarde makes Lawrence Bowen looks positively str8
Mission Impossible-early episodes when Leonard Nimoy was in it.
I suspect that this will make me appear almost indecently young - not the best image I want to put across on a forum such as this - but here goes:
Trap Door (voices by Willie Rushton)
Byker Grove (early episodes were like an adult drama, it was fantastic!)
Anthea Turner in a Turkish Bath on Blue Peter (did I really just admit that?)
Super Gran
Round The Twist
Tim Tyler, The Boy Who Lost His Laugh (Appallingly dubbed, so-bad-it's-good German drama, shown on CBBC in early 1990).
Thundercats
MASK
EDIT: Oh, and Dangermouse too. Thanks Blue.
My career as the next Stuart Maconie hurtles on!

The Champions
Jason King (Those clothes.....) & Department S

You have a PM :evil2: :giggle:
how about thundercats !!!?
Hartley Hare was in Pipkins great programme
How about
The Woodentops
Hectors House
Joe 90
Timeslip
Tomorrow People
Bagpuss
Trumpton
Camberwick Green
Andy Pandy
Mary Mungo and Midge
Star Trek :borg:
I couldn't have got out a lot when I was young confused
Aaah, now you're talking - this one's guaranteed to make us all contribute!
Blue - you're referring to Pipkins ("it's Time...tick tick tick... for a story")
Play School, with Fred Harris, Floella Benjamin etc
Playaway with Brian Cant
Fingerbobs
Some silly cartoon about Noah, with a 2 headed ark
Bagpuss, of course
Trumpton, Camberwick Green
Babapapa (fantastic!)
Barnaby the Bear('s my name, never call me Jack or James...)
G-Force ("five fearless young orphans...")
Of course, the Clangers
Grange Hill (remember Zammo - "just say No!")
Briefly, the Famous Five (terrible BBC series, shortlived thankfully, still remember the theme tune vividly "We are the famous five...")
I lived in Ireland between the ages of 6 and 14, and my mum was terrified of coming to England for fear of my school being like Grange Hill. You should see the place I teach now! wink
anyone remember a series set in canada called the beachcombers smile i used to like that. what about mr ben
anyone remember jayce and the wheeled warriors ?
Zep - I remember the beachcombers.
And Robinson Crusoe - I can't remember the series too well (it was french but dubbed I think) - but I loved the theme music!
Hugs,

Oh, and that stuff about Captain Pugwash is all nonsense. 'Twould be wonderful if 'twere true, but I'm going to have to disappoint you - it's an urban myth.

Multicoloured Swop Shop
Henry's Cat
Flash Gordon (re-runs, of course)

Brumlad
Stu Francis on Crackerjack!
The Going Live phone-in when a caller asked Five Star: "Why are you so f***ing s*it? You're f***ing crap!"
Another vote for Wac A Day too. Timmy Mallett - the man who made Bermuda shorts acceptable. For shame.
The Ghosts of Motley Hall!
