Childhood TV

OK,

When you were all younger what childrens TV programmes did you used to watch avidly??

Who used to watch Wacky Races adn hope that one day Dick Dastardly would win a race? Or shout Boing in time with Zebedee as he rode the magic roundabout? Or sing along with the mice on the mouse organ and Bagpuss? or wonder how Bertha could make all the different things when it was always the same machine?

Or we could go further back adn wonder how Windy Miller used to get in and out of the Camberwick Green windmill without the sails taking his head off? Or who speaks fluent "Flob A Dob" with Bil and Ben? Who can tell the thunderbirds puppets apart on sight? and who remembers the theme tune to Stingray?

So why not share your favourite programme with us all?

Chris · 15 May 2005, 00:14

Tim · 15 May 2005, 00:42

Hahha.. funny. I remember specially the foreign series like Thunderbirds, A-Team, Dukes Of Hazzard. That was great... still like them.

Bren · 15 May 2005, 00:43

Chris · 15 May 2005, 00:45

ok showing my age here,watch with mother, bill and ben,andy pandy,looby loo and teddy the first time round, the woodentops , (they were a whole family of wooden puppets with a spotty dog,)

SuperLoafMan · 15 May 2005, 01:09

Like Keab....my favorites were Thunderbirds.....stingray.....Captain Scarlet....also i loved...Fireman Sam, Postman Pat and Thomas the Tank Engine

Ageing Bat · 15 May 2005, 01:21

Mary, Mungo & Midge and The Clangers (I can whistle just like them!)

Oh, and Rainbow with Zippy, Bungle & George.

All time favourite TV moment as a child was on Blue Peter, when John Noakes had the baby elephant on the show..... it had a few 'large accidents' on the floor and decided to leg it, so John grabbed the rope round it's neck to try and stop it escaping, slid over and was dragged through all the wee and poo on the floor! Sooooo funny! He also showed the bruises on his bum after he went down the Cresta Run (I'd never seen a man's bare bum before, apart from my dad's - mum was not amused and wrote to the BBC to complain!!)

Ah, Happy Days!........That was a brilliant show too, with the Fonz

HEEEY

AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO REMEMBERS THIS?!?!? It was about a special stone that this weird dragony thing wanted to steal and give everyone nightmares with it. It was really cute and nice, and if it was still on tv I would still be watching it.

Now... Heli'll know this!

It was a really really good game show with go karts that went a measly 2 mph...

I used to friggin love this!!! (to be honest, i'm really not going there about this picture). Its about some demented penguin that was possesed by satan. Or at least, that what I always thought...

I still watch:
The most useless evil alien to invade earth. Involves rubber piggies, obsessive compulsive nerds, egomaniac insect things and the best robot to ever need oiling... GIVE IT UP!!!

About three 12 year old outcasts who spend all their time being naughty and scamming money off of all the other kids in their neighborhood... It's funny, trust me!!!!
