Remembering the TV programmes when I was young during school holidays which included Why don't you? The littlest hobo and the monkees any other?

Gentle Ben? They zoomed around on a hovercraft or something similar.

I've got the DVDs of The Littlest Hobo. Watched them last week..😁

MrsMigginsCat · 26/06/2022 20:32

Why Don't You, Roland Rat on TVam, Wacaday, Huckleberry Finn. They used to bring out the really old stuff and The Monkees which was always on in the holidays.

Press Gang!

There was a chess programme I'm sure was a holiday only thing.

Was Kickstart a bit of a summer hols show as well? Kids on Motorcross bikes falling off on mud hills.

Any one remember an A Level results and Uni clearing show with phone lines hosted by Tony Wilson. I used to be befuddled by it as I dint know anything about going to uni.

Yes to the Monkees! Their music always gives me fun holiday vibes, almost like I lived a 60's Californian dream whilst actually being in 1980's Devon.

Love this thread!

I loved Why Dont You, Littlest Hobo (There's a voice.. keeps on calling me..) and very badly dubbed Heidi.

Also,

Wacaday with Timmy Mallet.. Weeeeeee're Wide awake!

He Man/She Ra

Godzilla (and Godzooky?)

The Racoons and Top Cat (although I think these were Saturday morning cartoon during Saturday Superstore or Going Live.

Great memories.
