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 !!
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!
Well
My memories are much like those of Tongue.
But - the second series of the Avengers (Emma Peel)
The Champions
Jason King (Those clothes.....) & Department S
THE PRISONER!!!!!!!!!!! (Follow up to Danger Man)
Doctor Who (I was scared of the Daleks! - Terrified once they could climb stairs)
Skippy
Daktari (with Clarence the cross eyed Lion)
Thunderbirds
Fireball xl5
Stingray
etc etc
I could be here for hours!!!!!!
Hugs,Alex x x
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,
Alex x x
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.
See
Victor Lewis-Smith partially responsible for this, I believe.
Multicoloured Swop Shop
Henry's Cat
Flash Gordon (re-runs, of course)
Brumlad!! :boxing:
how the hell am I gonna attract anyone with this bluddy Avatar!!!
Thank you!
How about Magpie and Tiswaz, followed by OTT.
and 'How! with Fred Dineage!
Rich - thanks for that link - quite informative. Mind you - that audio clip..... does sound like Master Bates!
The Clangers
Danger Island
The Double Deckers
And I don't think anyone has mentioned TISWAS
I'm more surprised no-one's mentioned WhackaDay !!
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!
I was not alowed to watch the television in those days
