Forgotten childrens programmes

Childrens tv just isn’t the same nowadays. As a child I loved:
The raggy dolls
Barney- the dog not the dinosaur
Gran
Kissyfur
Jungle run
The tribe

What Programmes did you love?

The Woodentops

Raggy dolls
Button moon
Edward the Elephant
Super ted
James the cat
Barney (the dog)
Spot the dog
Bananas in pyjamas
Children's ward
Art attack
Fun house
Bernards stopwatch
Wizard Ora
Goosebumps
Dappledown farm
David the gnome
And I can't remember what it was called but I watched it every Sunday and it had Michaela strachern in it

Daktari - although that was old even when I was a child but they would drag it out during the holidays

The original my little pony
Trap door
Get your own back
50/50
Demon headmaster

There was one that involved a horse and a blind girl, and White Horse Hill.

What was the one on BBC I’m which the presenter would drive on in a tiny primary coloured buggy wearing a boiler suit (and hard hat?) and then insert a boxy looking video cartridge thing into a big primary coloured machine with a screen and big push buttons? I can hear the tune in my head , but can’t place the title or the words. The music seems to have a “ch-ch-ch” element to it and I think it was always or sometimes presented by someone called Carol with a shaggy 80s hairdo.

Rosie & Jim

Love love LOVED Rosie & Jim.

Let me come back later and add some more as I'm a bit pre-occupied with bathing DD and prepping dinner (sea bass, baby pots, broccoli and carrots) lol.

I'll be back lol x

Champion the Wonder Horse

Bod was so weird, wasn't it? Sort of like an art experiment.
Loved Willo The Wisp. With hindsight it had great voice performances.
Loved Fingerbobs and the gentle arty-crafty/folk guitary types on it.
Roobarb & Custard was so anarchic and lovely.
Also the Pink Panther. So stylish, and great music and choreography.

Grange hill

Quality tv for children

Play away

@BogRollBOGOF I did a reenactment event at Belton. It was awesome getting to swish round those gardens in a big dress! And I have a fab photo of DS and his friend on the sun (moon) dial dressed as Georgian urchins.

Tales from Europe (this dates me!)

There was a terrifying show called the Singing Ringing Tree with a horrible troll living under a bridge.

Bagpuss was wonderful. So gentle, and such excellent songs and music.
I sometimes wonder what happened to the musicians who used to play and sing for those shows, and who they all were.

I still have my book copy of 'Break in the sun'. Very sad storyline and I don't remember watching anything else quite like it.
