The raggy dolls
Barney- the dog not the dinosaur
Gran
Kissyfur
Jungle run
The tribe

Captain Caveman
John Craven's Newsround

My absolute favourite 80s children's drama was Break in the Sun. Based on the book by Bernard Ashley, absolutely heartbreaking but beautifully written.

I've been re-watching Grange Hill on Britbox!

Ivor the Engine

It began shortly after we'd moved from Wales to England and I was very unsettled - I just loved hearing the Welsh accent. I bought the DVD when DC were small and a few times I'd tear up remembering how it made me feel.

Take Hart?

I think that was the one with Morph, wasn't it? I was obsessed with him for a while?!

Frazzlerock · 21/01/2022 13:55

Tea Bag was one of my faves

AlexaShutUp · 21/01/2022 13:55

And the Magic Roundabout of course!

I loved break in the sun - it's on YouTube
