I can't spell after a few drinkys but what the hey?!
Just thinking about kids programmes and wondered what everyone's favourites were when they were a kid and which one do you secretly love now?
I used to love the Clangers (and still do!) but now find myself tuning into Spongebob Squarepants
Go on you know you want to tell all!!

Don't remember the clangers. My faves were Button Moon, Let's Pretend and Rainbow.

Hated Paddington Bear.

Yes Jamie and his magic torch and Dogtanian - it's all coming back to me now.

Remember why don't you?

Was a big fan of Bagpuss and have converted dd as well. It's amazing how slow moving the old kids tv progs are when you watch them back now.

Mr Ben!

Was Pigeon Street the one where Long Distance Clara drove her lorry short distances with one apple on the back?

Aw it has to be Charlton and the Wheelies. We even have the dvd for dds and they love it too. I thinnk I was drawn to it as I have a welsh family and I felt that the Evil Fenella was one of my own.
