The theme tune was sang by a group like wet wet wet or erasure!

It was amitated!

It was CITV

I’m thinking late 80’s early 90’s

Anyone know?

@Tectonicplates I'd forgotten how amazing that song was! OP it wasn't the Racoons was it?

shamofamockery That was written by Mike Batt though of Bright eyes and Wombles fame Grin

The Dreamstone looks fricking terrifying! But also familiar. I must have suppressed those memories deeply.

Pinkywoo · 30/09/2018 10:29

I thought I didn't remember the Dreamstone but watching the clip it's all weirdly familiar, especially the green thing with the round teeth!

Jamie and the Magic Torch perhaps? Pure 70s psychedelia although it was repeated in the 80s iirc.

The dreamstone was amazing but also (I think!) did have goblin type folk that entered into children's dreams........

Kissyfur was a bear not a raccoon two different shows. I loved Kissyfur so much I named my car after him lol.

icebearforpresident · 30/09/2018 13:29

I LOVED The Dreamstone!

(Sorry,nothing else to add!)

@Theoriginalpineappletart

Of course, I remember now. The raccoons was entirely different. Which had Cyril Sneer on it? It was a long time ago and endless repeats of Bing and Topsy & Tim have worn away at the memory of the good old day's children's telly Grin

Kidd video? The theme song was a band, played by humans, then it was animated.

AnotherPidgey · 30/09/2018 21:33

The Racoons
"Run with us, we've got every thing you need" I'd love it on my running play list Grin

Don't you open that trapdoor, you're a fool to get down

They knew how to compose theme tunes in the 80s!

winewolfhowls · 30/09/2018 21:34

I loved all of these shows. Another clue op!

TheSmallClangerWhistlesAgain · 30/09/2018 21:54

Jamie and the Magic Torch was '80s. The theme tune sounded like ELO.

wowfudge · 04/10/2018 14:37

Jamie and the Magic Torch was 70s and got repeated in the 80s. I watched it as pre-school age child in the 70s so I do know!
