TV shows as a kid

15 Dec 2004

As we are having a walk down memory lane(nearly said mammary by mistake which is probably due to some of the pics on this site,not complaining lol) hows about sharing your memories of shows you watched as a kid.
I remember:
The Woodentops
Tales From The Riverbank
H R Puff n Stuff
Thunderbirds(Way ahead of anything else)
Champion the Wonder Horse
The High Chaperal
The Virginian
Remember something with a comedian called Freddy 'Parrot' Davies in where he worked in a pet shop.
The old fav of course - Crackerjack
Robinson Crusoe
Remember some French/Italian series called White Horses I think but it was so badly dubbed.
Skippy
Topogigio(Italian mouse puppet)- When I mention this only few seem to remember it,do you?
Pinky & Perky
Minds gone blank now so over to you lot.

Bagpuss

When my hard drive crashed a couple of years back threatening to take a lot of important and unbacked up data with it, I went out and bought a cuddly bagpuss as a good luck charm. Bagpuss fixes things and, sure enough, I was then able to recover my data smile

edit: well, actually, bagpuss fixes nothing because he's a sinister slave driver, but he's responsible for getting things fixed.

I wouldn't stand corrected based on my memory! I know the presenter changed, and it seems unlikely that a change of format/name would keep the same presenter.
