And a drama where a girl found a Victorian dress and was transported back in time when she put it on - can’t remember the title.

I loved Barney the dog. I'm glad someone else remembers it. The theme tune gives me so much nostalgia. Also loved Huxley Pig. And there was one called Mortimer and Arabel with puppet characters that I was obsessed with.

I remember it! I read the books a few times after watching the series, so I remember them more though.

Oh! And Marmalade Atkins! That was brilliant! There used to be a poster on here called Marmalade Twatkins who had a very excellent lemon drizzle cake thread that is prob in classics
