They did a nostalgia one on CITV a while back and Nick jr once had Nick jr classics like the wombles and Mr benn etc. not any more.

but all the kids tv channels they could do one for us kids at heart!

childhood stuff like play school, jackanory, magic roundabout, etc

and another one where they showed old classic family faves like the Monkees, Brady bunch, wonder woman, bionic man, etc? so many channels and alwasy the same stuff.

Gold are ok with Blackadder and some mothers do ave em and stuff, but i want more!

less trashy reality shows, bring back the good stuff!

Ace of Wands

That drama with the white stallion vaguely set at Weylands Smithy

But, some don't wear well. I got Hong Kong Phooey on DVD recently. The theme tune is as great as ever, but the programme is stereotypical drivel.

Can I bring Oceans Oddyssey?

I think the paddle steamer might be Huckleberry Finn related...

I read somewhere that citv were considering it after the roaring success of their nostalgia weekend.

I think it'd be a fantastic idea. Surely pretty cheap to run too, I'd have thought.

Will try and find the link.

Some of the young children's stuff is very cheap on amazon (like Buttonmoon) and all over youtube.
