I remember at the end they had to cross like a chess board & they cudnt walk into or let the invisible monster get em.
I'm no racking my brains to remember the name of the money.
But I remember the grumbling aspidistra, dragons, backwards-talking eccentrics and a gregarious butler.
Would you believe it was aired in 1981 - 1984!!!!!
Yes Worzel Gummidge was an excellent series. Geoffrey Balydon as the Crowman was superb as were all the cast. I only mentioned 'Catweazle" as I had not seen it repeated.
By way of a cycle in this thread - "The Adventure Game" insipres "The Crystal Maze" as has been mentioned. "The Crystal Maze" I think insipres the "Fort Boyard" series which was a larger scale version at a real location - and "who" do we find there in Fort Boyard? None other than Geoffrey Balydon acting as a professor/magician type character. Lovely guy - think he's in his 80s and still making appearances.
Think Playschool is as far back as i go. Loved Richard O'brians crystal maze tho marya lol. I remember the moomins when they were fuzzy felt characters too! lmao Who remembers fuzzy felt. And thinking of things fuzzy, Did anyone else read the Fuzz Buzz books at school or am i the only one to remember them?
The Goodies were great but surly all the ground breaking stuff was done by the TWTWTW team. That prog. spawned Monty Python and a host of others.
S&C
NTNON was superb. Kinda-lingers. (how did they get away with that?)
Adventure Game. - How I wish I could turn into an aspidestra when I was threatened!
The Great Egg Race was another for us nerds.
HitchHikers Guide was one thing, from the era that successfully made the transition from Radio 4 to the TV. The radio series was BEFORE the book, you know.
Since then Radio 4 have given us The Mary Whitehouse Exprerience, Little Britain, League of Gentlemen, The Mighty Boosh......
Calistra: I never did like Rolf on Saturday was boring at the time for me, but now I think he is fooking brill.
Vix: Hitcherhikers Guide to the Galaxy - CULT TV, the babel fish I wanted one, Zaphod Beeblebrox with 2 heads funny as hell.
I didn't enjoy Hitchhikers at the time but I recently read the books and peed myself laughing.
Multi-coloured SwapShop was an absolute must-see.
I loved the Incredible Hulk and Grizzly Addams ... and Little House on the Prairie and the Waltons and WonderWoman and ... oh, I'm off!!!
Does anybody else miss the wrestling? Proper wrestling - Big Daddy and all.
Was Kenny Everett 70's or 80's? My friend wasn't allowed to watch him 'cos her mum said he was queer. I didn't think him strange at all.
I was googling for a Monkey Dust episode guide earlier (does anyone have one?), and stumbled across some good news. The second Goodies DVD is rumoured to be out in September. The only episode mentioned was the pirate radio one.
Man about the House was awful.
But George & Mildred had me in stitches, Yootha Joyce (God rest her soul) was phenominal & her side kick Brian (cannot think of his last name) bounced well off her
He now too is doing kids telly BloodyNora it's Wizzadora or summert like that !!!
The WHOOSH Man
I used to love Richard Beckinsale - sexy, sexy man!
The people I miss (who have shuffled off this mortal coil) are:
Tommy Cooper & Eric Morcambe.
2 of the all time greats.
Leg ends in their own life times.
Whenever they are on TV I have to watch & still end up in stitches (1 day I will have to get them on DVD).
The WHOOSH Man
