80s kids TV you loved!

[MadameFoner]

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?

Lots of dubbed German series including Silas and Jack Holborn.

Rentaghost (was sad to discover the Mr Claypole actor died young)

Blue Peter

Play school
Button moon
Rosie and Jim
Grange Hill
Byker grove
Clarrisa
Sister sister
Rugrats
Superted
Live and kicking

Some of these are 80's and early 90's but very much part of my childhood

My type of thread!! Haven;t RTFT so after posting I;m going to be reading through it and Omigodding as I've forgotten half of them, and then falling down a Youtube wormhole when I should be going to bed

Used to love

• Crackerjack (Eee, I could crush a grape!)
• Worzel Gummidge
• The Muppet Show
• Fraggle Rock ("hey look Ma, I found a Fraggle!") he was a little bit scary lol
• Pigeon Street
• T-Bag
• Supergran ("Stand back, Superman, Ice Man, Spiderman, Batman and Robin too...." )

ahhh love it lol

Raggy dolls, Round the twist, Knight are and one when I was very young about a dolls house. One of the dolls was burned at the end, there was a beautiful nasty doll in it.

He-man.

Ooh, just thought of another one! Does anyone remember Little Green Man (and Zoom Zoom) I'm the only one who ever remembers this lol
Think it was voiced by Jon Pertwee (Worzel), was great!

@MadameBalls And what about Tbag and T-shirt thingy???? It had that kellie Bright in it ( think I have the right name?)

Yes, she played the little girl, think the character was called Sally?

@BoswellsBollocks
Anyone remember Is that a fact?! With the wonderful Dave Benson Phillips
No, but used to love Dave Benson Phillips on telly and he's following me on Twitter and I'm totally using this as my claim to fame lol

heidi.

I never saw the last one though. What happenened. I`ve always wondered, what did I miss!

I was a huge fan of Brian Cant, so one of my fondest memories was Play Away.

Anyone mentioned Choc-a-bloc or Dappledown Farm?

Thatsnot anacing thank you, I will have a look

I used to love the serialised Sunday night things- lion witch and the wardrobe (have now bought this on dvd!) and the borrowers particularly.

Also 'round the twist'!!

*amazing

Whilst waiting for the kettle to boil, I found myself singing

If you know someone
Who knows what he knows
Then you must know Heneryyyyy's
(must know Heneryyyyy's)
Must know Heneryyyyy's Cat!

I blame this thread.

What was Bananaman's address ?

29 Acacia Road
Nuttywood

Loved Worzel Gummidge, but Robin of Sherwood was our absolute fave. That Clannad theme tune takes me straight back to my childhood.

and then later there was maid marion and her merry men!

The machine gunners and the watch house, both by Robert westall.

This thread has reminded me that the very first time I met DH, we reminisced about brilliant kids TV theme tunes from our childhoods...

We got through Fraggle Rock, Henry's Cat, Follyfoot Farm, Dogtanian, the Cities of Gold and many, many more....

Reader, I married him...

Any of the BBC adaptations such as Carrie's War, The December Rose, Moondial and The Box of Delights.

I almost feel sorry for my children missing out on the thrill of finally sitting down after waiting all week for the next episode!!

Oh not forgetting The Chronicles of Narnia!!
