Reminded on the YouTube thread about an old TV programme I loved as a kid / preteen James The Cat! Got me all nostalgic thinking of others, does anyone remember these?! My faves:

Sea view - with a young Yvette Feilding about a girl who's mam and dad owned a B&B! I was so jealous of her!!
Johnny Briggs! - very relatable as very Northern!
Grange Hill - obvs!
Chocky - but it did scare the shit out of me!
Run around with Mike Reid!
Why don't you? - So desperate to be on it!
The Flumps - was too old but iirc it was on early afternoon so will have been off school sick!! Particularly loved the girl on skates!
Huxley Pig - again too old but loved the theme tune
Cockle shell bay - too cute!
Penny Crayon
Finger mouse - or was it bobs? - the man scared me slightly - v.v. Hairy!!

What were yours?

Funny bones. I Don’t think it was a TV show. Although I’m they did release them on vhs

Maybe not 80s but maid Marian and her merry men was legendary

Also the original Sunday night tv edition of the lion the witch and the wardrobe. And the borrowers.

I remember watching a programme where a girl rolled in stinging nettles to get out of school, it's haunted me all my life. I must have been quite young, so maybe it was late 80's, early 90's
I vividly remember her wearing navy blue pants/shorts and no top, and getting allowed to stay off school because she was covered in a rash afterwards. Any ideas what that was??? My sister remembers it too so I don't think I imagined it.
