Kids tv shows in the 90s - help

[chocolateoranges33]

Hi, having a discussion with DH about kids tv shows we grew up with in the 90s and we're struggling on these - does anyone else remember them or have I made them up?

1. Rivalry between 2 childrens cricket clubs - one in Yorkshire the other in Lancashire I think. Lots of picnic teas afterwards. Made me believe cricket was quite interesting (I grew up & realised I was wrong!)

1. Quite a spooky show with a few series. I think set in an antique shop with a secret lift to upstairs in a Egyptian sarcophagus. Kids had to solve mysteries and there weren't many adults in it. Really enjoyed it!

1. Think this one was a Friday film club one in the broom cupboard but probably made in the 70/80s. I remember a blond hair boy was kidnapped by a woman and was in her house. He escaped when he realised she was drugging him in his tea (drink) so poured into a plant pot when she wasn't looking. Managed to escape. I keep thinking of red double decker buses too.

These are the only ones so far I seem to remember and DH can't do I'm desperate to prove they are real!

Can anyone help identify what these were called?

Thanks all!

Yes!!!!! Thank you

Mewkins I loved Spatz but it was set in a burger Bar, though it may still be what you're thinking of. Later there was also a programme called Cone Zone which was set in an ice cream shop.

Did one of these involve staff wearing rollerskates to serve the food? Because I feel like I used to watch something like that, but no one else seems to remember it, so now I don't know if I've imagined it.

Though to be fair friends were convinced I'd lost my mind when I told them about a show with orange, green and purple people, a dragon and what looked like glowing paving slabs. And I hadn't gone mad, it was how I'd remembered Through the Dragons Eye.

I think it is spatz. And although not John Barrowman it does have a Canadian guy playing the manager. And Samantha womack apparently!

@MedusasBadHairDay

We watched Through the Dragons eye in primary school on the wheeled in tv, we all used to sing along to the theme tune! Also a programme about a pigeon, maybe called Geordie Racer?

my parents are aliens?

@Floogal My Parents Are Aliens? Though the premise sounds a bit like The Wilde House.

This thread has just reminded me of Eerie, Indiana, especially the one where the lady slept in Tupperware to look young.
