Wtf was this 80's kids cartoon called...

[KatoPotato]

Okay, I apologise In advance as this is going to be super vague, But I know the power of mumsnet is strong and it's Saturday night.

Here's what I can remember

Galtar and the Golden Lance

BuffysFavouriteStake

I remember all those. :)!

Has Henry's Cat been mentioned? Can't be bother to RTFT.

Ooh what about Bravestarr?

Deafly not crazy legs he looks more fun than this show!

It was definitely boring and I hated it when It came on! stuck in my mind Door as we only had about 15 minutes a day of TV to watch for kids.

I told you it was vague.. I can only remember end screen with crane at the bottom centre... I could maybe do a sketch

James the cat? (I know it isn't, but just wanted to post the theme tune!)

Ooh yes...diagram would help!

Mysterious cities of gold? Altho no long legged crane in it

Hair bear bunch?

Was it Animals of Farthing Wood? That was boring.

Animals of farthing wood? Orm & Cheep?

KlutzyDraconequus oh TG, I thought for years it was just me!!
dare I mention Ewoks?

Sorry, OP, totally sidetracked and have no idea about the crane, but I do really want to know now!

Ludwig? It was staggeringly dull. Tootling woodwind theme tune and all about a kind of mystic egg.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludwig_(cartoon)

I know what you mean. It had Beethoven playing and was like a dodecahedron thing with legs and panels opened up and it played the violin? Was more late 70s though

And there was a bird

It was on BBC (I know it must have been as we weren't allowed to watch ITV until my parents divorced in 1981)

Was it called Ludwig?

I can't believe it! NO ONE ever remembers Mysterious Cities of Gold! Or Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors. Or Ulysses. Or Dungeons and Dragons for that matter.

I do!!! Loved Cities of Gold. I remember the theme tune well. And Ulysseeeeeeees. Dungeons and Dragons is one of the special ones which would probably make me cry if I saw it now because it was so precious.

No idea what Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors was though, sorry

I was going to day Ludwig, the boring one with the violin?

Ludwig?

Strange silver multifaceted egg 'thing', that sprouted a variety of gadgets in the face of every set back.

A cross between Inspector Gadget and a Kinder egg.

more Ludwig!

Trapdoor ?

Snotty Gilbert ?

Button Moon ?

Orm and Cheap ?

Ah yes! I’m going with Ludwig as well

A metal ball thing that had windows/doors and things popped out of them

Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors was indistinguishable from Ulysses (both animé type cartoons). It had machines that were also plants

Ludwig was an early Sunday morning cartoon

With a patronising voiceover.

Airbiscuits, I wasn't allowed to watch ITV either. No bagpuss or Bod
